Forward and Inverse Kinematic Solution of the Variable Geometry Truss Robot Based on an N-Celled Tetrahedron-Tetrahedron Truss
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Tetrahedron-Tetrahedron truss (or TT truss for short) has exceptional stability, stiffness, and load-carrying capabilities. Because of this fact, the TT truss is well suited for use as a ...
Delamination-Free Drilling of Composite Laminates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Composite laminates in significant numbers are rendered unacceptable due to delamination that occurs during the drilling operation. Thrust generated during the drilling operation is identified as ...
Effects of Feedrate and Chisel Edge on Delamination in Composites Drilling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Delamination accompanied with the drilling of composite laminates has been recognized as a major problem. An analytical model is established to predict critical thrust force and critical feedrate ...
HDM-4 Pavement Deterioration Models for Indian National Highway Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Highway Development and Management model (HDM-4) is a support system for decision making for highway administrators and engineers to predict the economic, social, and environmental impacts that might occur while making ...
Determination of Effective Depth to Measure Temperature Required for Structural Evaluation of Asphalt Pavements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Performance evaluation of asphalt concrete (AC) pavements requires measurement of the temperature at a specified depth. Most of the guidelines recommend a fixed depth from the top of the pavement surface. Researchers have ...
