Due to constant exposure to high torque and loads toughness, compressive durability and light weight of joint parts are crucial factors for biped walking humanoid robot parts.
When polymer transmission parts are used for the manufacture of humanoid robot joint, wear becomes an important factor in terms of transmission error (backlash) between the input and output axes, ex. between the motor and the robot’s leg joint.
Joints with poor transmission accuracy or failing elements significantly affect the robot’s performance, regardless of the control system quality.
With its excellent friction and wear properties, high impact durability, high corrosion resistance, low specific gravity, high melting temperature of 340˚C, glass transition temperature of 143˚C and heat deflection temperature of 195˚C, PEEK composite is superior to other polymers.
This results show that PEEK bush roughness as tribological property is strongly related to the backlash as mechanical performance.

The parameters such as chemical/physical materials properties, numbers of conductors and dielectrics layers were extensively studied [1-9].
The area A can be calculated easily by multiplying L, W and a correct factor together.
Besides the bending moment, the moment of inertia is a crucial factor affecting the bending stress.

The very nature of spark erosion or EDM requires the material to be electrically conductive, a property all the ceramics do not possess.
Here Al-alloy, Silicon carbide composite has been machined to analyze the effect of grain size of SiC and its percentage (which affects the electrical conductivity) on the machining rate.
The two factors affecting the erosion rate in EDM of MMC components are the concentration and size of ceramic particulates.

The utilisation of nano silica, nano alumina, titanium oxide and others are proven to enhance properties of concrete.
The advantage of nano materials in concrete is to pack the internal structure of cement paste and as result enhance the mechanical and durability properties of concrete.

In addition, it is to say that catalyst concentration is the most important one among all the factors that can be used to determine whether the main products are carbon nanotubes or nanocapsules, and the structures of nanocapsules are also analyzed in detail.
In the experiments of carbon nanotubes synthesis, numbers of factors can affect the products and the capabilities of carbon nanotubes.
Catalyst concentration is one of the most important catalyst factors which can decide the properties of products.
Sampling time is the crucial factor in determining product type and the characteristics of carbon nanotubes. 5 mins are economic for carbon nanotubes synthesis.

Riveting connection is extensively applied in aircraft structures, and riveting quality is an important factor affecting safety and fatigue performance of aircraft.
The riveting die angle apparently exerts an influence on the material flow, which further affects the stress and strain distribution.
The laminate material is the TC4 (Ti–6Al–4V) titanium alloy, which is widely utilized in aerospace and other weight critical applications due to its superior properties, such as high specific strength, etc [8,9].
The rivet is fabricated from TC16 (Ti-3Al-5Mo-4.5V) alloy, which is a kind of martensite strengthening (α + β) titanium alloy with good mechanical and processing properties, such as hot deformability, machine workability and corrosion resistance.
Due to the properties of low heat conductivity and high adiabatic shearing sensitivity, ASBs, an important thermoviscoplastic instability mode in metals processed at high strain rates, are easily observed in titanium and its alloys [12].
