Abstract: A computer-aided visualization is presented of the reflected glare from glass-curtain-wall buildings. The simulation uses a 1 × 1 × 1 cube to define the volume and the horizontal area that is covered by reflections. A ...

Abstract: The vibration of a spinning annular disk with coupled translational and rotational rigid-body motion is analyzed. The spinning disk, with one linear spring as transverse load, is free to translate ...

Abstract: The development and implementation of a plane-strain finite element method for the simulation of orthogonal metal cutting with continuous chip formation are presented. Detailed work-material modeling, ...

Abstract: A new regulating wheel truing method for through-feed centerless grinding is presented. In conventional regulating wheel truing systems, a single-point diamond tool is traversed across the regulating ...

Abstract: This paper presents an efficient algorithm for the generation of quantitative feedback theory (QFT) bounds for plants with affinely dependent uncertainties. For a plant with m affinely dependent ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the dynamic response of the cracked and flexible connecting rod in a slidercrank mechanism. Using Euler–Bernoulli beam theory to model the connecting rod without a crack, the governing equation ...

Abstract: The shear‐lag effect in a thin‐walled box girder has been recognized and introduced in the technical literature. In contrast however, a discussion of shear‐lag effect caused by the combination of prestress force and ...

Abstract: This research studies the dynamics and motion control of a biped walking robot with seven degrees of freedom. The main features of the biped robot include variable length legs and a translatable ...
