RISStructural Compliance Analysis and Internal Motion Properties of Proteins From a Robot Kinematics Perspective: Formulation of Basic Equations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: From a perspective of robot kinematics, we develop a method for predicting internal motion properties and understanding the functions of proteins from their threedimensional (3D) structural data (protein data bank (PDB) ...
Kinematic Analysis of Mechanisms Based on Parametric Polynomial System: Basic Concept of a Method Using Gröbner Cover and Its Application to Planar Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many kinematic problems in mechanisms can be represented by polynomial systems. By algebraically analyzing the polynomial systems, we can obtain the kinematic properties of the mechanisms. Among these algebraic methods, ...
Analysis of Instantaneous Kinematic Properties Regarding the Shape of Robotic Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theoretical framework for analyzing instantaneous kinematic properties regarding the shape of robotic mechanisms is proposed. Conventional research on kinematic analysis regarding the shape has been conducted with the ...
Density Intrusion and Variation in Dissolved Oxygen Concentrations in a Bay with a Sill at Its Mouth
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the influence of water outside a bay on water quality within the bay for a typical enclosed bay with a sill at its mouth. The influence of water outside Ohfunato Bay, Japan was expressed in a one-dimensional ...
Fundamental Study on the Super-Long-Period Active Isolation System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background: Since the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Disaster, the number of isolated structures has been greatly increased. The natural period of the isolation system is designed around 3s, because ...
Vertical Stiffnesses of Preloaded Linear Guideway Type Ball Bearings Incorporating the Flexibility of the Carriage and Rail
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article deals with the vertical stiffnesses of preloaded linear guideway type ball bearings (linear bearings) incorporating the flexibility of the carriage and rail. First the vertical ...
Development of a Jumping Mechanism Inspired by Leg Synchronization of Planthopper
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We developed a small jumping mechanism inspired by planthopper. The planthopper jump is characterized by two functions of the hind legs; the leg synchronization using physical contact of the trochanter head and the power ...
Annual and Interannual Variability in the Kuroshio Current System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Individual, seasonal, 300 m temperature maps were constructed over the Kuroshio Current System from 130°E to 170°W, for a 4-year period from summer 1976 through spring 1980, using TRANSPAC XBT data and JODC temperature/depth ...
Experimental Identification Technique of Vibrating Structures With Geometrical Nonlinearity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new experimental identification technique of a two-dimensional vibrating elastic structure with geometrical nonlinearity is considered. First it is shown that the governing equations given in ...
Pausing of the ENSO Cycle: A Case Study from 1998 to 2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The heat balance of the surface mixed layer is analyzed at the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean (0°, 140°W) in order to examine the transition from the 1998 La Niña to the 2002 El Niño. The data used are observations from ...
