Abstract: Fast and accurate solutions of the dynamic equations of a robot arm are required for real time on-line control. In this paper we present a new method for rapidly evaluating the exact dynamic ...

Abstract: The closed-form equations of motion for robot arms and other open kinematic chains are derived using the Newton-Euler equations in a form particularly suitable for the automatic modeling and ...

Abstract: The problem of stage design of axial flow gas turbines has been formulated as a nonlinear mathematical programming problem with the objective of minimizing aerodynamic losses and mass of the ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented for two-dimensional flow of a thin layer of power-law fluid down an inclined plane. Integration of the equations of motion using lubrication approximations shows that ...

Abstract: We postulate that an equivalent continuum structure (ECS) of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is a hollow cylinder with mean radius and length equal to that of the SWCNT, and find the ...

Abstract: Free axisymmetric vibrations of polar orthotropic annular plates of variable thickness resting on a Pasternak-type elastic foundation have been studied based on the classical plate theory. Hamilton’s ...

Abstract: In this analysis the customary neglected centrifugal effects on the performance of hydrostatic porous thrust bearing with incompressible lubricant has been studied and the effects of their ...

Abstract: Interaction of thermal and inertia effects on squeeze film action for curved plates have been investigated. To illustrate the importance of the study, the numerical results obtained from the ...
