Abstract: A full-pose, position and orientation, trajectory-tracking control of kinematically redundant flexible-macro-rigid-micro manipulators is proposed. Redundancy is resolved such that the forces exciting ...

Abstract: The paper investigates the dynamics of a drifting buoy-cable-array assembly used in submarine detection. The steady-state configurations of the three-dimensional cable and flexible legs are determined. ...

Abstract: Experimental work directed toward the development of means for in-process control of residual stress during tube drawing is described. Experiments were done on 304 and 321 stainless steels, ...

Abstract: This paper investigates theoretically for the first time the dynamical behavior and stability of a simply supported shell located coaxially in a rigid cylindrical conduit. The fluid flow is ...

Abstract: The present paper describes a unified symbolic model of conjugate geometry. This model can be used to study the geometry of a cutting tool and the surface generated by it on a blank along ...

Abstract: In this paper the dynamics and stability characteristics of coaxial cylindrical shells containing incompressible, viscous fluid flow are examined in contrast to previous studies where the fluid ...

Abstract: Using an order N Lagrangian formulation, the paper studies attitude control of a rigid platform supporting a flexible tether connected to a rigid satellite. The system, in an arbitrary orbit, is free to undergo three-dimensional ...

Abstract: A small four-stage gas turbine was directly fired with woodchips using a novel downdraft, gravel-bed combustor for a total 250 hours of tests. The average turbine blockage due to deposits was ...

Abstract: Two-sided extreme conditional sampling regularly is coupled with copula theory to assess the dependence between flood-risk drivers such as extreme precipitation or river discharge and storm surge. The approach involves ...

Abstract: Intensive industrialization generates hazardous wastes comprising organics, inorganics, heavy metals, and munitions that need to be tackled in a safe manner. Commonly employed physicochemical technologies have paved the ...
