Abstract: A novel UdwadiaKalaba approach for parallel manipulator dynamics analysis is presented. The approach segments a parallel manipulator system into several legsubsystems and the platform subsystem, which are connected by ...

Abstract: An experimental technique for evaluation of the Mintegral in an elasticplastic material containing multiple defects is proposed by using digital image correlation (DIC). This technique makes direct use of the definition ...
