Abstract: This paper describes an analytical tool for the design of thinwall tubes for passage through minimal radius of curvature trajectory. The design is based on a model of thinwall tube buckling under pure bending. An extended ...

Abstract: This study proposes a method for estimating the canopy-layer net urban heat island (UHI) in regions with complex terrain that lack preurban observations. The approach is based on a linear relationship between the urban?rural ...

Abstract: Turbines are designed to operate with high inlet temperatures to improve engine performance. To reduce NOx resulting from combustion, designs for combustors attempt to achieve flat pattern factors ...

Abstract: Aggregation of microbes with particles can reduce the effectiveness of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. This study evaluated the comparative impact of dispersed spores, dispersed spores mixed with clay particles (nonaggregated), ...

Abstract: Ultraviolet (UV) absorbance measurements are subject to significant error using a standard spectrophotometer when particles or aggregates that scatter light are present. True UV absorbance for highly turbid waters should ...

Abstract: The combustorturbine interface is an essential component in a gas turbine engine as it allows for thermal expansion between the first stage turbine vanes and combustor section. Although not considered as part of the external ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to evaluate the change in

Abstract: In this article, we present a framework that automatically selects a modular manipulator structure based on a user-defined task involving 3D trajectory tracking, handling heavy payloads with precision, and navigating around ...
