Evaluation of High-Resolution Gridded Precipitation Data in Arid and Semiarid Regions: Heihe River Basin, Northwest China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe reliability of three satellite-derived precipitation products, Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 V7 and the Climate Prediction Center morphing technique (CMORPH) satellite-only (CMORPH-RAW) and ...
A Novel Continuum Robot Using Twin Pivot Compliant Joints: Design, Modeling, and Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A twisting problem is identified from the central located flexible backbone continuum robot. Regarding this problem, a design solution is required to mechanically minimize this twisting angle along the backbone. Further, ...
Investigation on a Class of 2D Profile Amplified Stroke Dielectric Elastomer Actuators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have been widely studied in soft robotics due to their muscle-like movements. Linear DEAs are typically tensioned using compression springs with positive stiffness or weights directly ...
