Abstract: In control and simulation of a modular robot system, which consists of standardized and interconnected joint and link units, manual derivation of its dynamic model needs tremendous effort because ...

Abstract: This paper studies the dynamic modeling of a nonholonomic mobile manipulator that consists of a multi-degree of freedom serial manipulator and an autonomous wheeled mobile platform. The manipulator ...

Abstract: This paper presents the linear representation of the screw triangle. The resultant twist of two finite twists is shown to be a linear combination of five screws. The linear representations of ...

Abstract: We consider the modeling and control of a high-displacement piezoelectric actuator system (HDPAS). An HDPAS includes a multilayer LVPZT bender actuator (MLBA) and a low-pass filter. The MLBA is ...

Abstract: A major challenge encountered in using electrospun scaffolds for tissue engineering is the non-uniform cellular distribution in the scaffold with increasing depth under normal passive seeding ...

Abstract: Numerous works have considered methods for improving traffic conditions, and hence reducing evacuation time, in a geographic evacuation. The majority of these efforts have focused on traffic flow along freeways, and it ...

Abstract: For large-scale finite element analysis, using a numerical method to reduce the problem size is a standard strategy to analyze a problem efficiently. For the analysis with reduction, the most time-consuming process is ...

Abstract: The Internet has revolutionized the way software systems work. Many applications, such as online games and instant messengers, have utilized Web-related technologies to cooperate over the Internet. Recently, some researchers ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach for efficiently building analytical models for nonlinear analysis. The objective has been achieved by establishing structural component model database by collecting various structural component ...
