RISA Biologically Inspired Knee Actuator for a KAFO
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Knee–ankle–foot orthoses (KAFOs) are prescribed to improve abnormal ambulation caused by quadriceps weakness. There are three major types of KAFOs: passive KAFOs, semidynamic KAFOs, and dynamic KAFOs. Dynamic KAFOs are ...
C2 Continuous Blending of Time-Dependent Parametric Surfaces
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Surface blending is widely applied in mechanical engineering. Creating a smooth transition surface of C2 continuity between time-dependent parametric surfaces that change their positions and shapes with time is an important ...
Ocean Chlorophyll-Induced Heating Feedbacks on ENSO in a Coupled Ocean Physics–Biology Model Forced by Prescribed Wind Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractOcean biology components affect the vertical redistribution of incoming solar radiation in the upper ocean of the tropical Pacific and can significantly modulate El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The biophysical ...
Freshwater Flux and Ocean Chlorophyll Produce Nonlinear Feedbacks in the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractVarious forcing and feedback processes coexist in the tropical Pacific, which can modulate El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO). In particular, large covariabilities in chlorophyll (Chl) and freshwater flux (FWF) ...
Effect of Water to Cement Ratio on Autogenous Shrinkage of Pavement Cement Concrete and Its Mechanism Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The autogenous shrinkage of pavement concrete with different water to cement ratios are measured in an experimental setup, and these samples’ gradation and pore structure characteristics are analyzed by a mercury intrusion ...
