Abstract: AbstractThis study examines the tidal modulation of surface gravity waves in the Gulf of Maine (GoM) by using in situ observations and numerical model results. Analysis of observational data demonstrates significant ...

Abstract: Bikebot (i.e., bicycle-based robot) is a class of underactuated balance robotic systems that require simultaneous trajectory tracking and balance control tasks. We present a tracking and balance control design of an ...

Abstract: To study the factors affecting the sealing performance of a Y-shaped sealing ring at the stem of a 140-MPa cage throttle valve under −46 °C, 25 °C, and 180 °C operating conditions, uniaxial tensile tests were conducted on ...

Abstract: Seeking analytic free vibration solutions of rectangular thick plates without two parallel simply supported edges is of significance for an insight into the performances of related engineering devices and structures as ...

Abstract: The mechanical response of granular material to the rotation of stress principal axes is an issue of both practical and theoretical importance in soil mechanics. This study used a two-dimensional (2D) discrete-element ...

Abstract: Near-inertial oscillations (NIOs) on the inner Scotian shelf are studied using observations, a simple slab model, and two operational shelf circulation models. High-frequency radar and ADCP observations from December 2015 ...
