Abstract: The computation of the angular acceleration of a rigid body from measurements of accelerations of three noncollinear points of the body is presented in this paper. This is based on algorithms ...

Abstract: This paper follows a previous one on the computation of the screw parameters of rigid-body motions defined by two finitely-separated positions. The subject of the present paper is the computation ...

Abstract: Introduced in this paper is a novel approach that leads to efficient algorithms for computing the screw parameters of rigid-body motions. This is based on invariants associated with the said ...

Abstract: In a recent paper by Deshpande and Mote Jr., the stiffening effect for a thin disk due to its rotation on the eigenfrequencies of the in-plane vibrations was discussed. The paper is interesting ...

Abstract: As shown in this paper, when designing parallel manipulators for tasks involving less than six degrees of freedom, the topology can be laid out by resorting to qualitative reasoning. More ...

Abstract: Data is presented detailing the water motion in the Wellington Reservoir induced by the outflow from the valve at the base of the dam wall. This outflow system establishes a simple horizontal shear flow longitudinally along ...

Abstract: This paper examines the daily water demand forecasting performance of double seasonal univariate time series models (Holt-Winters, ARIMA, and GARCH) based on multistep ahead forecast mean squared errors. A within-week ...

Abstract: An adequate estimation of the aerosol extinction-to-backscatter ratio S is important for solving the underdetermined single scattering lidar equation and for investigating the climate impact of aerosols. In this study, the ...
