Abstract: To demonstrate the hardware realizability and efficacy of the quadratic program (QP) based methods for solving the nonrepetitive problem, this paper proposes a novel repetitive motion planning and control (RMPC) scheme and ...

Abstract: The Moebius transformation maps straight lines or circles in one complex domain into straight lines or circles in another. It has been observed that the equations relating acoustic or mechanical impedance modifications to ...

Abstract: In the fatigue design of steel catenary risers, there are concerns regarding the fatigue damage to girth welds from low stresses, below the constant amplitude fatigue limit, in the loading spectrum and the validity of ...

Abstract: An elastic-viscous-plastic (EVP) model for sea ice dynamics has recently been proposed as a computationally efficient alternative to the viscous-plastic (VP) model widely in use. The EVP model features a fully explicit ...

Abstract: This paper studies the dispersion characteristics of guided waves in layered finite media, surface waves in layered semi-infinite spaces, and Stoneley waves in layered infinite spaces. Using the precise integration method ...

Abstract: The annual-mean meridional energy transport in the atmosphere?ocean system (total transport) is estimated using 4-yr mean net radiative fluxes at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) calculated from the International Satellite ...

Abstract: Elastic waves propagating in graphene nanoribbons were studied using both continuum modeling and molecular dynamics simulations. The Mindlin's plate model was employed to model the propagation of interior waves of graphene, ...

Abstract: In this paper, a numerical model is developed to study the dynamic response of a porous seabed to combined wavecurrent loadings. While the Reynoldsaveraged Navier–Stokes equations with kخµ turbulence closure scheme and ...

Abstract: Based on the unified strength criterion, a characteristic theory for solving the plastic plane stress and plane strain problems of an ideal rigid-plastic body is established in this paper, which can be adapted for a wide ...
