RISMaximization of Workspace Volume of 3-DOF Spatial Parallel Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work we investigate the influence of motor axes orientation on the workspace volume of 3-DOF manipulators, showing that the Delta configuration is not optimal. The configuration characterized ...
Optimal Kinematic Design of Spatial Parallel Manipulators: Application to Linear Delta Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An optimal kinematic design method suited for parallel manipulators is developed. The kinematic optimization process yields a design that delivers the best compromise between manipulability and a ...

Effect of Superabsorbent Polymers on Workability and Hydration Process in Fly Ash Cementitious Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of three superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) on variations in the cement hydration process were studied by calorimetric measurements and the X-ray scanning technique. It was concluded that the influence of superabsorbent ...
Comparison and Evaluation of Different Riprap Stability Formulas Using Field Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Five riprap stability formulas have been compared and evaluated using the field performance of several riprap across the La Grande Hydroelectric complex. Four of these formulas were developed from regular wave tests (Hudson, ...
Shear Performance of Adhesive Bonding of Cross-Laminated Bamboo
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tests were conducted of the bonding shear strength of different bamboo configurations in terms of grain direction, adhesive, and clamping pressure. The bonding shear tests were carried out with two basic configurations: ...
