Abstract: Testing techniques employed in determining the elastic moduli, that is, Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson’s ratio, at room and elevated temperatures are described. These techniques depend ...

Abstract: Apparatus has been designed and built for conducting creep tests under constant-stress or constant-load conditions. An exact mathematical solution describing the shape of the cam lever for constant ...

Abstract: A design procedure for the synthesis of an adaptive controller for a robotic manipulator is presented. The design involves the evaluation of a nominal input signal by using a model of the ...
