Abstract: A recursive lumped mass/spring approximation model, based on the Newton-Euler formulation, is proposed to model the dynamics of manipulators with link flexibility. The model assumes that the ...

Abstract: Inspection is commonly used to scrutinize the quality of manufactured products against established standards and specifications. However, the quality and reliability of many inspection processes ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a resolved motion adaptive control which adopts the ideas of “resolved motion rate control” [8] and “resolved motion acceleration control” [10] to control ...

Abstract: Corrosion fatigue tests were performed in air saturated hot water to assess fatigue crack growth behavior of reactor pressure vessel steel at the LWR operating condition. The main test parameter ...

Abstract: A computer‐aided data acquisition system was developed for the generation of slurry filtration data. The system has some advantages over the traditional Buchner funnel apparatus, including: (1) Operation at pressure ...

Abstract: A computer‐aided data acquisition system was used with three sludges, two chemical‐conditioning systems and nine support media to investigate the effect of slurry solids concentration on specific resistance, the effect of ...

Abstract: In a densely built-up urban society, operators of public bus services are faced with the recurrent problem of providing timely and reliable service. While they have no control over dynamically changing extraneous factors ...

Abstract: The preparation of detailed models of information and process flow by 14 member companies of the North American Precast Concrete Software Consortium has provided a unique window into the current management, engineering ...
