RISA Nonlinear Stiffness Safe Joint Mechanism Design for Human Robot Interaction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Service robots used in human environments must be designed to avoid collisions with humans. A safe robot arm can be designed using active or passive compliance methods. A passive compliance ...
Gap between Policymakers’ Priorities and Users’ Needs in Planning for Accessible Public Transit System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Access to public transit forms a vital part of the well-being of people with disabilities. However, people with disabilities continue to be challenged in accessing their local transit services. This study investigates the ...
Dozer Workability Estimation Method for Economic Dozing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a computational method called the dozer workability estimation (DoWe) system. It collects the internal system variables of a dozer machine and the external system environment variables, calculates the ...
Urban Sustainability Predictive Model Using GIS: Appraised Land Value versus LEED Sustainable Site Credits
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although many researchers have attempted to examine the value-added advantages of adopting Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for sustainable design projects, quantitative research into its ...
LEED Public Transportation Accessibility and Its Economic Implications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) environmental certification system has developed as a standard for sustainable project planning, though research into its economic impacts have been limited. The ...
Cool-Season Evaluation of FV3-LAM-Based CONUS-Scale Forecasts with Physics Configurations of Experimental RRFS Ensembles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To help inform physics configuration decisions and help design and optimize a multi-physics Rapid Refresh Forecasting System (RRFS) ensemble to be used operationally by the National Weather Service, five FV3-LAM-based ...
Exact Time–Cost Tradeoff Analysis in Concurrency-Based Scheduling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Performance Assessment of the Florida Electric-Power Network System against Hurricanes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study aims to describe the regional performance of electric-power distribution systems against hurricane hazards with theories based on the uncertainty. The uniqueness of this study is that damage-assessment models ...
A Prediction Model for Bond Deterioration in RC Members. II: Bond Failure after Flexural Yielding
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are designed in such a way that flexural yielding precedes bond failure, in order to ensure the ductile behavior of members. When subject to cyclic loading including seismic loads, brittle ...
Diagnosing Near-Surface Model Errors with Candidate Physics Parameterization Schemes for the Multiphysics Rapid Refresh Forecast System (RRFS) Ensemble during Winter over the Northeastern United States and Southern Great Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the winter of 2020/21 an ensemble of FV3-LAM forecasts was produced over the contiguous United States for the Winter Weather Experiment using five physics suites. These forecasts are evaluated with the goal of ...
