Abstract: This paper proposes a motion-planning method for a high-performance anti-swing control of overhead cranes, where the motion-planning problem is solved as a kinematic problem. First, an anti-swing ...

Abstract: A common problem of fatigue failure of stamping dies was experienced during the stamping operation with socket-head screws. In order to establish a design standard for the stripper bolt, a ...

Abstract: Natural frequencies and mode shapes of a complex shell composed of a circular cylindrical shell and hemispherical shell with variable thickness are determined by the Ritz method using a mathematically three-dimensional ...

Abstract: This paper shows that the conventional Lagrangian modeling of flexible-link robots does not fully incorporate the bending mechanism of flexible links. The conventional link deflection model allows ...

Abstract: The paper presents a numerical solution to the problem of a hot rigid indenter sliding over a thermoelastic Winkler foundation with a thermal contact resistance at constant speed. It is shown ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new dynamic model of a three-dimensional overhead crane is derived based on a newly defined two-degree-of-freedom swing angle. The dynamic model describes the simultaneous ...

Abstract: As a new alternative countermeasure to riprap for scour protection around bridge piers, wire gabions were investigated experimentally for failure mechanisms, effects of significant parameters on failure and its sizing in ...

Abstract: Concession agreement is one of the infrastructure privatization models. In Asia, the rise of concession projects began in the 1980s, and the number of such projects continues to grow. This research provides an overview and ...
