Abstract: AbstractOpen boundary conditions (OBCs) of the M2 tidal constituent in the Bohai and Yellow Seas (BYS) were inverted successfully through assimilation of TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) altimeter data. An improved independent points ...

Abstract: In this paper, two integrated target identification and acquisition algorithms and a graphical user interface (GUI) simulation tool for automated assembly of parallel manipulators are proposed. They seek to identify the ...

Abstract: AbstractA new method for the inversion of bottom friction coefficients (BFCs) in a two-dimensional tidal model is proposed in this study. In this method, the field of BFCs is constructed by interpolating values at independent ...

Abstract: Laminated glass consists of at least two monolithic glass lites bonded together by an elastomeric interlayer. Existing mathematical models using the finite-difference method or the nine-node quadrilateral finite-element ...

Abstract: AbstractA lot of tidal phenomena, including river tides, tides in ice-covered bays, and internal tides in fjords, are nonstationary. These tidal processes present a severe challenge for the conventional tidal analysis ...

Abstract: A structural optimization method for spoke single-layer cable-net structures based on an improved genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed. The three-cable coplanarity theory is introduced, and an exchange program between a ...
