Abstract: The problem addressed is that of the online computational burden of gross-motion control laws for quick, strongly nonlinear systems like revolute robots. It will be demonstrated that a large ...

Abstract: The problem of radiation and scattering by objects in the case when the wave length is much smaller than the characteristic dimension of the radiator or scatterer is investigated. The boundary ...

Abstract: Conventional holonomic or nonholonomic constraints are defined as geometric constraints. The total enregy of a dynamic system can be treated as a constrained quantity for the purpose of accurate ...

Abstract: Here we report on results obtained from large eddy simulations of flow inside a stirred tank performed using a spectral multidomain technique. The computations were driven by specifying the ...

Abstract: When Baumgarte’s Constraint Violation Stabilization Method (CVSM) is used in the simulation of Lagrange equations of motion with holonomic constraints, it is shown that, with suitable assumptions ...

Abstract: The effects of whirl frequency and lubricant viscosity on the experimental pressure field and film forces in an open-ended squeeze film damper test rig are presented. The measurements refer to ...

Abstract: This study investigates the effect of the volume fraction of steel fibers on the axial load response of 200 MPa ultrahigh-strength concrete (UHSC) columns. Behavioral aspects investigated include strength, ductility, and ...

Abstract: Twelve ultrahigh-strength concrete (UHSC) columns confined by rectangular hoops and crossties were constructed and tested under pure axial load. Primary variables of the investigation were the amount, spacing, and configuration ...
