RISCompact Arrangements of Cable-Pulley Type Zero-Free-Length Springs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A methodology to develop springs with zero-free-length (ZFL) characteristics is presented, and the configurations for placing the springs precisely on the manipulators are introduced. A spring–string arrangement installed ...
Entrainment and Transport in Idealized Three-Dimensional Gravity Current Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A purely z-coordinate Dietrich/Center for Air Sea Technology (DieCAST) ocean model is applied to the Dynamics of Overflow Mixing and Entrainment (DOME) idealized bottom density current problem that is patterned after the ...
An Iterative Method Based on a 3-DOF Model for Optimal Seismic Design of Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As a key infrastructure in the lifeline system, the safety of the Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plants (CFTPPs) under earthquake loading is not properly considered since a systematic optimization method for seismic design of ...
Influence of Size and Shape of Defects on Deformation Concentration and Brittle Fracture of Perforated Plates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The study investigates how different shapes and sizes of defects affect the fracture of a typical brittle material. The strain distribution and the fracture strength of perforated polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plates with ...
Trajectory Optimization Using Analytical Target Cascading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the previous reports, analytical target cascading (ATC) is generally applied to product optimization. In this paper, the application area of ATC is expanded to trajectory optimization. Direct collocation method is ...
Modeling Air–Land–Sea Interactions Using the Integrated Regional Model System in Monterey Bay, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he air?land?sea interaction in the vicinity of Monterey Bay, California, is simulated and investigated using a new Integrated Regional Model System (I-RMS). This new model realistically resolves coastal processes and ...
Characteristics of the RAW-Filtered Leapfrog Time-Stepping Scheme in the Ocean General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Robert?Asselin?Williams (RAW) filtered leapfrog scheme is implemented and tested in the Taiwan multiscale community ocean model (TIMCOM). The characteristics of the RAW filter are carefully examined through two benchmark ...
An Analysis of the Linkage of Pacific Subtropical Cells with the Recharge–Discharge Processes in ENSO Evolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Simple Ocean Data Assimilation, version 2.2.4 (SODA 2.2.4), analysis for the period of 1960?2010 is used to study the variability of Pacific subtropical cells (STCs) and its causal relation with tropical climate ...
Combined Role of High- and Low-Frequency Processes of Equatorial Zonal Transport in Terminating an ENSO Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study investigates the sudden reversal of anomalous zonal equatorial transport above thermocline at the peak phase of ENSO. The oceanic processes associated with zonal transport are separated into low-frequency ...
