A Suboptimal Reference Generation Technique for Robotic Manipulators Following Specified Paths
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The optimal reference generation problem deals with finding a tracking velocity versus time profile which will move the end effector of a multiple degree of freedom robotic manipulator through ...
Reference Input Generation for High Speed Coordinated Motion of a Two Axis System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method for generating two-dimensional reference trajectories to be followed by a linear second-order system under feedforward/feedback control is proposed. A differential equation is derived which ...
Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Behavior in Construction Executives
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The study documented in this paper builds upon the concept of multiple intelligences by examining the need for a greater concept of intelligence within the construction profession. Specifically, the paper documents the ...
Closure to “Bond of Reinforcement in Concrete Incorporating Recycled Concrete Aggregates” by Liam J. Butler, Jeffrey S. West, and Susan L. Tighe
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Bond of Reinforcement in Concrete Incorporating Recycled Concrete Aggregates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) as coarse aggregate in concrete has the potential to supplement current natural aggregate reserves, divert construction and demolition debris from landfills, and promote the adoption ...
Discussion of “<i>Type Curves for Two‐Regime Well Flow</i>” by Zekâi Şen (December, 1988, Vol. 114, No. 12)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Lubrication and Surface Properties of Roach Cuticle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using atomic force microscopic and tribometry techniques, we characterized the cuticle surface of the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) and studied lubrication properties of the wax developed ...
Processing of Small Scale Nitinol Billets by Induction Heated Nonconventional Isothermal Extrusion (IHNCIE)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a novel process designed specifically for extruding small scale billets, between 850°C and 950°C, in very short cycle times of 10 min. Induction heated nonconventional ...
In Vivo Determination of the Direction of Rotation and Moment-Angle Relationship of Individual Elbow Muscles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The direction of rotation (DOR) of individual elbow muscles, defined as the direction in which a muscle rotates the forearm relative to the upper arm in three-dimensional space, was studied ...
Comparison of Three Retaining Wall Condition Assessment Rating Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In general, the nature of permanent earth retaining structures (ERSs) in highway engineering is well suited to the concept of asset management as a valuable tool for operational efficiency and cost control. Earth retaining ...
