Abstract: In this paper we develop a technique for estimating the outer scale of turbulence in a planetary atmosphere using dual-frequency radio occultation measurements. This technique is based on the frequency dependence of the ...

Abstract: The locational uncertainty of a manipulator is largely due to the errors of the joint variables. But these errors cannot be easily compensated for because they are dependent on the operation ...

Abstract: An analysis is given of the deep-drawing of a circular blank into a cylindrical shell over a tractrix die. Comparison is made between the theoretical and the experimental results of the drawing ...

Abstract: The type synthesis of plane linkages can be formulated as a systematic enumeration of linear graphs. In this study, the concepts of a “contraction map” of a graph and of enumeration technique ...

Abstract: A numerical solution for analysis of the bulging process of a thin-walled tube under internal pressure and axial force is proposed. The solution is applied to a case in which the longitudinal ...

Abstract: In the past, various methods have been used to estimate the parameters in the nonlinear three-parameter Muskingum model to allow the model to more closely approximate a nonlinear relation compared to the original two-parameter ...

Abstract: Although phenomenon-mimicking algorithms, such as genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and harmony search, have overcome the disadvantages of mathematical algorithms, such as the nonlinear least-squares method, ...
