Abstract: The land-use mix observed in the smaller Indian cities is peculiar, and in this context there were no past studies on how the land-use mix influences the travel pattern. The existing indices used for quantifying the land-use ...

Abstract: This paper presents dimensional synthesis of a 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) spatial 3-revolute-prismatic-spherical (RPS) parallel manipulator. Tsai and Kim ((2003) ASME J. Mech. Des., 125, pp. ...

Abstract: Traffic data collection under mixed traffic conditions is one of the major problems faced by researchers as well as traffic regulatory authorities. Study and analysis of traffic behavior is critically dependent on the ...

Abstract: The present study focuses on recovery and removal of phosphate in the form of hydroxyapatite (HAP) from a phosphate-rich secondary-treated effluents. Synthesis of HAP has been done at different operating parameters and ...

Abstract: Detection of isomorphism in planar and geared kinematic chains (GKCs) is an interesting area since many years. Enumeration of planar and geared kinematic chains becomes easy only when isomorphism problem is resolved ...

Abstract: This paper presents the investigation of the effect of dynamic loads on the dynamic amplification factors (DAFs) of an existing continuous bridge. A three-dimensional analytical model to idealize the vehicle and a finite ...

Abstract: Graph theory is a powerful tool in structural synthesis and analysis of planetary gear trains (PGTs). In this paper, a new algorithm has been developed for detecting degenerate structure in planetary gear trains. The ...

Abstract: Epicyclic gear trains (EGTs) are used in the mechanical energy transmission systems where high velocity ratios are needed in a compact space. It is necessary to eliminate duplicate structures in the initial stages of ...
