Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite sheets have gained popularity as a viable strengthening technique for existing reinforced concrete structures. The efficiency of the strengthening system largely depends on adequate ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the dynamic modeling and adaptive control of a single degree-of-freedom flexible cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR). A Rayleigh–Ritz cable model is developed that takes into account the changes in ...

Abstract: -dimensional global wind field is the most important remaining measurement needed to accurately assess the dynamics of the atmosphere. Wind information in the tropics, high latitudes, and stratosphere is particularly ...
