RISExperimental Validation of a Bio-Inspired Thruster
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bio-inspired solutions have been deeply investigated in the last two decades as a source of propulsive improvement for autonomous underwater vehicles. Despite the efforts made to pursue the substantial potential payoffs ...
Reconfigurability Analysis of a Class of Parallel Kinematics Machines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel parallel kinematics machine (PKM) stemming from the 3-SRU (spherical-revolute-universal) under-actuated joints topology is presented in this paper. The concept here proposed takes advantage of a reconfigurable ...

Assessment of the Behavior of FRP-Strengthened RC Slabs Using a Discrete Crack Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a new discrete crack model that can simulate the complex behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) slabs. The model approximates the kinematics of crack openings ...
Autonomous Pinniped Environmental Samplers: Using Instrumented Animals as Oceanographic Data Collectors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data-recording tags applied to marine animals store data for later retrieval and can return valuable information on animal behavior and ecology, including habitat preference, physiology, and movement patterns, as well as ...
