RISAnalysis and Control of an In-Pipe Wheeled Robot With Spiral Moving Capability
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents analysis and control of a wheeled robot that can move spirally inside the pipeline. The wheeled robot considered is composed of two mechanical bodies, a pair of differential-drive wheels, a lifting ...
Analysis and Design of a Passive Steering Mechanism for a Pedaled, Self Balanced Unicycle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a pedaled, selfbalanced vehicle named Legway, is developed. The vehicle is structurally similar to a pedaled unicycle but uses a brushless DC (BLDC) hub motor as its main driving wheel. It is intended that ...
Design and Optimization of a Wearable Underactuated Mechanism for Spinal Posture Measurement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes a novel wearable device to monitor and record the posture and alignment of spine. The proposed device adopts an underactuated mechanism design which allows it to adapt to the multiple-degrees-of-freedom ...
Effects of Terrain on the Surface Structure of Typhoons over Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The island of Taiwan is situated in the main path of western North Pacific typhoons. Its dominant central mountain range (CMR), with a hoizontal scale comparable to the radius of a typhoon, often produces significant ...
A Model Study of the Short-Term Climatic and Hydrologic Effects of Sudden Snow-Cover Removal
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the results from a set of numerical experiments which stimulate the effect of a large-scale removal of snow cover in middle and high latitudes during the early spring season. This is done through use ...
The Effect of Soil Moisture on the Short-Term Climate and Hydrology Change—A Numerical Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a series of numerical experiments simulating the effect of large-scale irrigation on short-term changes of hydrology and climate. This is done through the use of a simple general circulation model, ...
A STUDY OF VARIATIONS OF THE GENERAL CIRCULATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Changes of the general circulation, especially the strength of the upper westerlies, over 28 months are investigated quantitatively.The role of the high troposphere, represented by the 300-mb level, is stressed and it is ...
Determination of Motor Torque for Power-Assist Electric Bicycles Using Observer-Based Sensor Fusion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes a sensor fusion algorithm to determine the motor torque for power-assist electric bicycles. Instead of using torque sensors to directly measure the pedaling torque, outputs from a wheel encoder and a ...
Surface Track Discontinuity of Tropical Cyclones Crossing Taiwan: A Statistical Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urface tracks of some cross-Taiwan tropical cyclones were discontinuous as a result of the blockage of the north-northeast?south-southwest-oriented Central Mountain Range (CMR). This paper tries to identify the variables ...
