Dynamic Eco-Driving near Signalized Intersections: Systematic Review and Future Research Directions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Advancements in the field of telematics have empowered the development of connected vehicle (CV) applications, which optimize the energy and traffic efficiency of vehicular traffic. Over the past decade, various research ...
Transverse Vibrations of Viscoelastic Sandwich Beams via Galerkin-Based State-Space Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new state-space model is formulated for the dynamic analysis of sandwich beams that are made of two thin elastic layers continuously joined by a shear-type viscoelastic (VE) core. The model can accommodate different ...
Dynamics, Design and Simulation of a Novel Microrobotic Platform Employing Vibration Microactuators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the analysis, design, and simulation of a novel microrobotic platform that is able to perform translational and rotational sliding with submicrometer positioning accuracy and ...
Analysis and Experiments of a Haptic Telemanipulation Environment for a Microrobot Driven by Centripetal Forces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the analytical and experimental results on a new haptic telemanipulation environment for microrobot control. The proposed environment is comprised of a 5DOF force feedback ...
Synthesis and Validation of High-Level Behavior Models for Narrow Waterway Management Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This note describes the essential features of a new methodology for the incremental transformation of informal operations concepts for a waterway management system into system-level designs, the latter being formal enough ...
Climatology and Dynamics of the Summer Etesian Winds over the Eastern Mediterranean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Etesians are persistent northerly winds that prevail over the eastern Mediterranean during summer. A climatology of Etesian outbreaks over the Aegean was compiled with the aid of the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) ...
Infectious Medical Waste Management System at the Regional Level
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this work was to do a preliminary design of a management system for infectious medical waste (IMW) at the regional level and apply it to the region of East Macedonia–Thrace (EMT) in Greece. The main ...
On the Global Behavior of a Geometric PDAV Controller by Means of a Geometrically Exact Linearization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A complex motion encountered in a number of robotic, industrial, and defense applications is the motion of a rigid body when one of its body-fixed axes tracks a desired pointing direction while it rotates at high angular ...
Performance and Emissions of a Heavy-Duty Truck during the UDDS Driving Cycle: Simulation Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examines engine and vehicle performance during the UDDS (urban dynamometer driving schedule) driving cycle of a heavy-duty truck. The most important and novel feature of the analysis is the application of a ...
Modeling of Rocking Elastic Flexible Bodies under Static Loading Considering the Nonlinear Stress Distribution at Their Base
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent years, the need for resilient structural systems has led to renewed interest in the use of rocking members instead of conventional ones for the design of earthquake-resistant structures. Due to the usually ...
