RISRepetitive Motion Planning and Control on Redundant Robot Manipulators With Push Rod Type Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
A Method for Particle Simulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper extends a recent approach to the direct numerical simulation of particle flows to the case in which the particles are not fixed. The basic idea is to use a local analytic representation valid near the particle ...
Effects of Absorption on the Tribological Properties of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polyamide-6 Composites Manufactured by Fused Deposition Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present work studied the water absorption behavior of polymeric composite materials fabricated using 3D printing technology, as well as its effect on their tribological properties. Polyamide-6 was selected as the base ...
A Generalization of Gill's Heat-Induced Tropical Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this note, the local solution of Gill for the symmetric and the antisymmetric heat sources and sinks is extended to the entire global tropical belt by the authors. The symmetric and antisymmetric heating forced solutions ...
A Perturbation Method for Hurricane Ensemble Predictions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study illustrates the capability of the ensemble technique to improve hurricane forecasts in the Florida State University Global Spectral Model. A perturbation method for hurricane ensemble prediction is proposed. The ...
Enhanced Photon Tunneling by Surface Plasmon–Phonon Polaritons in Graphene/hBN Heterostructures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Enhancing photon tunneling probability is the key to increasing the near-field radiative heat transfer between two objects. It has been shown that hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and graphene heterostructures can enable ...
Ensemble Forecasting of Hurricane Tracks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Because of the initial data uncertainties, it is inevitable that operational hurricane track forecasting practice would, in the future, follow an ensemble forecast approach. The ensemble technique is becoming increasingly ...
Fracture Analysis and Distribution of Surface Cracks in Multicrystalline Silicon Wafers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solar silicon wafers are mainly produced through multiwire sawing. The sawing process induces micro cracks on the wafer surface, which are responsible for brittle fracture. Hence, it is important to scrutinize the crack ...
The Effect of Microstructure, Thickness Variation, and Crack on the Natural Frequency of Solar Silicon Wafers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Vibration is one of the most common loading modes during handling and transport of solar silicon wafers and has a great influence on the breakage rate. In order to control the breakage rate during handling and facilitate ...
Stress and Fracture Analyses of Solar Silicon Wafers During Suction Process and Handling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solar wafer/cell breakage depends on the combination of the stresses generated in the handling and the presence of structural defects such as cracks. Suction process is a common loading during silicon wafer handling. This ...
