RISA Minimum Standard for Publishing Computational Results in the Weather and Climate Sciences
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eather and climate science has undergone a computational revolution in recent decades, to the point where all modern research relies heavily on software and code. Despite this profound change in the research methods employed ...
Serre Equations in Channels and Rivers of Arbitrary Cross Section
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A variational approach was used to derive a set of Serre equations for fully nonlinear, dispersive waves in channels of arbitrary cross section. A family of travelling waves was found, as well as the relation between ...
The Computation of All 4R Serial Spherical Wrists With an Isotropic Architecture
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A spherical wrist of the serial type with n revolute (R) joints is said to be isotropic if it can attain a posture whereby the singular values of its Jacobian matrix are all equal to n/3. ...
A New Sensor Platform for Investigating Turbulence in Stratified Coastal Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: haracterizing and quantifying vertical exchange processes is essential for understanding physical and biological dynamics in stratified lakes and oceans. Unfortunately, the role of mixing is still poorly understood because ...
Cable Pulling Force in Pipes with 3D Bends for Different Installation Methods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The theory to predict cable pulling forces during installation in pipes has already existed for 7 decades. Here, gravity and capstan friction are ruling, and analytical equations are used for straight (sloped) sections ...
A Novel Approach to Diagnosing Southern Hemisphere Planetary Wave Activity and Its Influence on Regional Climate Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: outhern Hemisphere mid- to upper-tropospheric planetary wave activity is characterized by the superposition of two zonally oriented, quasi-stationary waveforms: zonal wavenumber 1 (ZW1) and zonal wavenumber 3 (ZW3). Previous ...
A Review of Cuspidal Serial and Parallel Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cuspidal robots can move from one inverse or direct kinematic solution to another without ever passing through a singularity. These robots have remained unknown because almost all industrial robots do not have this feature. ...
NAVARO II, a Novel Scissor-Based Planar Parallel Robot1
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents a new variable actuation mechanism based on the 3-RPR parallel robot. This mechanism is an evolution of the NaVARo robot, a 3-RRR parallel robot, for which the second revolute joint of the three legs ...
Novel Kinematics of an Anthropomorphic Prosthetic Hand Allowing Lateral and Opposite Grasp With a Single Actuator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work introduced a new hand prosthesis architecture able to achieve an opposite and lateral grasp by using a single actuator. An analysis of the hand prostheses, as well as the movements classically performed in daily ...
An Optimal Design of a Flexible Piping Inspection Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents an optimization approach for the design of a piping inspection robot. A rigid bio-inspired piping inspection robot that moves like a caterpillar was designed and developed at LS2N, France. By the addition ...
