Abstract: A new dextrous spherical wrist is presented here. The wrist is based upon a kinematically overconstrained and singularity-free pointing system. The pointing system and wrist are less mechanically ...

Abstract: Traffic flow rate, the equivalent hourly rate of vehicles passing a point during a given time interval, is a fundamental measure of traffic status that plays a critical role in many aspects of transportation engineering. ...

Abstract: A simple method is presented for determining the peak horizontal acceleration of nonstructural components attached to the floor system of multistory structures subjected to strong ground motions. The procedure was developed ...

Abstract: Four series of tests were performed in an accelerated deposition test facility to study the independent effects of particle size, gas temperature, and metal temperature on ash deposits from two ...

Abstract: Residential trip generation rates are a fundamental component of transportation planning. To investigate discrepancies in these rates, residential trip generation rates for nine suburban neighborhoods were computed using ...

Abstract: Structures that direct neurite extension are important for regeneration following spinal cord injury and peripheral nerve injury. Within the spinal cord, neurons encounter a glial scar environment ...
