Abstract: A recursive lumped mass/spring approximation model, based on the Newton-Euler formulation, is proposed to model the dynamics of manipulators with link flexibility. The model assumes that the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a resolved motion adaptive control which adopts the ideas of “resolved motion rate control” [8] and “resolved motion acceleration control” [10] to control ...

Abstract: Corrosion fatigue tests were performed in air saturated hot water to assess fatigue crack growth behavior of reactor pressure vessel steel at the LWR operating condition. The main test parameter ...

Abstract: In a densely built-up urban society, operators of public bus services are faced with the recurrent problem of providing timely and reliable service. While they have no control over dynamically changing extraneous factors ...

Abstract: Threshold and near threshold fatigue crack growth behavior was obtained for five carbon or low alloy cast steels at room temperature and −45°C (−50°F) with the load ratio R=0.05 and ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new approach to predicting the natural resting behavior of a part of irregular prismatic cross-sectional shape. The methods proposed by Boothroyd, Redford, Poli, and Murch ...

Abstract: A comprehensive fatigue program was undertaken at room temperature and −45°C (−50°F) for five representative carbon or low alloy cast steels. Constant amplitude low and high cycle axial ...
