Abstract: This is Part II of a two-part paper describing the vertical profile of radar reflectivity in GATE convective cells. Time-height radar life histories for 42 cells over three GATE days are examined, using data from the Quadra ...

Abstract: The manipulator differentiable manifold kinematics formulation presented in Part I of this paper is employed for forward and inverse kinematic analysis and formulation of ordinary differential equations of motion on disjoint, ...

Abstract: Using basic tools of Euclidian space differential geometry, maximal singularity free components of the regular manipulator configuration space are defined, with conditions that establish the space as a differentiable ...

Abstract: Four formulations of nonholonomic mechanical system dynamics, with both holonomic and differential constraints, are presented and shown to be well posed; i.e., solutions exist, are unique, and depend continuously on problem ...

Abstract: Topological and vector space attributes of Euclidean space are consolidated from the mathematical literature and employed to create a differentiable manifold structure for holonomic multibody kinematics and dynamics. Using ...

Abstract: A redundant serial manipulator inverse position kinematic mapping is employed to define a new manipulator operational space differentiable manifold and an associated system of well posed operational space differential ...

Abstract: The changes in temperature and relative humidity caused by evaporation from raindrops are computed for several cases involving three different lapse rates and two rainfall intensities. Formulae for evaporation from stationary ...

Abstract: The performance of five internally braced cuts is reviewed. The excavations are made in overconsolidated Gulf Coast soils in Texas and Louisiana. Excavation depths range from 23 to 60 ft (7.0 to 18.3 m); the braces are ...
