Abstract: Long-span suspension bridges are flexible structures that are easily vibrated by external load changes. Their vibration characteristics are related directly to the safety of the structure. Although the free vibration ...

Abstract: Balancing control is important for biped standing. In spite of large efforts, it is very difficult to design balancing control strategies satisfying three requirements simultaneously: maintaining postural stability, improving ...

Abstract: In this paper, we provide not only key knowledge for friction model selection among candidate models but also experimental friction features compared with numerical predictions reproduced by the candidate models. A motordriven ...

Abstract: Surface roughness is one of the most important parameters that have significant influence on the mechanical and hydraulic characteristics of rock joints. To investigate the evolution of surface roughness under normal and ...
