Abstract: The real-time implementation of path planning, trajectory generation, and servo control for manipulation of the prototype UPSarm are presented in this paper. The prototype UPSarm, which is primarily ...

Abstract: The CH programming language is designed to be a superset of C. CH bridges the gap between C and FORTRAN; it encompasses all the programming capabilities of FORTRAN 77 and consists of features ...

Abstract: A program is described for the controlled degradation and evaluation of thin plastic film samples in a set of parallel (in time) exposures. The intent of the various exposures is to separate ...

Abstract: This paper describes the problems and solutions raised in an experimental approach for a shotcrete underground system design. The system consists of a retrofit dry-wet process dual purpose ...

Abstract: An incremental constitutive relation of friction contact is presented for large deformation analysis. After a brief review of published explanations of friction, a model is constructed following ...

Abstract: Complex dual numbers w̌ = x + iy + εu + iεv which form a commutative ring are introduced in this paper to solve dual polynomial equations numerically. It is shown that the singularities ...

Abstract: Based on the improved general solution for a thin, circular tube subjected to in-plane end moments, the effect of the radius ratio on the stress distribution, rigidity, and stress intensification ...

Abstract: A general solution is presented for a thin, curved circular tube under in-plane bending. It includes the solution given by Clark and Reissner as a particular case in which the ratio of the ...

Abstract: A simple method based on analysis of experimental flammability limits data is described for the calculation of the lean and rich flammability limits in air of common gaseous fuels (e.g., ...
