Abstract: The small actuator torque range brings advantages for the high-accuracy control of a manipulator. By taking the minimum actuator torque range into account, this paper proposes a novel torque optimization method of a 3-DOF ...

Abstract: Accurate prediction of the burst pressure is indispensible for the engineering design and integrity assessment of the oil and gas pipelines. A plenty of analytical and empirical equations have been proposed to predict the ...

Abstract: Snow is the most reflective natural surface on Earth. Its albedo (the fraction of sunlight reflected) can be reduced by small amounts of dark impurities such as dust and black carbon (BC) particles. This effect is significant ...
