Abstract: The structural synthesis of Baranov trusses is still an open problem, although Baranov trusses are widely used in the design and analysis of mechanisms and robots. This paper proposes a systematic method for the structural ...

Abstract: The creative design of kinematic structures with excellent performance remains an open issue in the quest for developing novel multi-loop mechanisms. This study presents an automatic method to synthesize all nonisomorphic ...

Abstract: Planetary gearbox has been widely applied in the mechanical transmission system, and the failure types of planetary gearbox are more and more diversified. The conventional fault diagnosis methods focus on identifying the ...

Abstract: According to the fractionation concept and whether containing a multiple-joint, planar kinematic chains (KCs) are primarily categorized as non-fractionated simple-joint kinematic chains (NFS-KCs), fractionated simple-joint ...

Abstract: Abstract The caving zone is an artificially created porous medium, and its behavior is closely linked to the parameters of the surrounding rock. Accurately predicting the properties of this porous medium in the caving zone ...

Abstract: Based on the theory of elasticity, the analytical solutions of the Love-wave dispersion equation are generated for the inhomogeneous orthotropic medium, for which the Young’s modulus (Ex, Ey, Ez), shear modulus (Gxy, Gyz, ...

Abstract: Conception of the kinematic structures with better performance has been a challenging, yet pivotal issue, since the beginning of the design of mechanisms or robots. This paper proposes a systematic method to synthesize and ...

Abstract: It is of great importance in the conceptual creative design of mechanical systems to synthesize as many feasible kinematic structures of mechanisms as possible. However, the methods for the structural synthesis of multiple ...

Abstract: AbstractA new method is developed to identify the mixed layer depth (MLD) from individual temperature or density profiles. A relative variance profile is obtained that is the ratio between the standard deviation and the ...

Abstract: Abstract Ultimate deformation capacity is a key indicator for assessing the failure state of structural members, marking the final failure of concrete. This study investigates the deformation behavior of large rupture ...
