Abstract: The dynamic balancing of flexible linkages, which is a challenging topic in the dynamics of mechanisms, is accomplished by active control with redundant drives for the first time in the present ...

Abstract: With the Timoshenko beam theory and the Finite Element Method, the dynamic equation of planar cooperative manipulators with link flexibility is proposed in absolute coordinates. Taking the actual ...

Abstract: The pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM) used to simulate compliant beams without inflection point had been well developed. In this paper, two types of PRBMs are proposed to simulate the large deflection of flexible beam with ...

Abstract: AbstractObservations from multiple sensors on the NASA Aqua satellite are used to estimate the temporal and spatial variability of short-term cloud responses (CR) and cloud feedbacks ? for different cloud types, with respect ...

Abstract: he precision, accuracy, and potential sampling biases of temperature T and water vapor q vertical profiles obtained by satellite infrared sounding instruments are highly cloud-state dependent and poorly quantified. The ...

Abstract: Based on the principle of dynamic equivalence, a new dynamic model of compliant mechanisms is developed using the pseudo-rigid-body model. The dynamic equation of general planar compliant mechanisms ...

Abstract: A thin cirrus cloud thermal infrared radiative transfer model has been developed for application to cloudy satellite data assimilation. This radiation model was constructed by combining the Optical Path Transmittance ...
