Abstract: This work investigates the use of input shaping techniques for controlling oscillations in a chain suspended from an overhead crane, aiming to enhance crane operations without sacrificing speed or safety. The study focuses ...

Abstract: A vast number of mechanisms have been synthesized to augment the requirements of automation industry, but still there is need to invent useful mechanisms. To bridge this gap and to fulfill the requirement of motion between ...

Abstract: The relationship between turbomachinery blade circulation and tip clearance vortex circulation measured experimentally is examined using three-dimensional viscous flow computations. It is shown that ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear numerical analysis code by using the rigid body spring method (RBSM) was developed by the writers at Hokkaido University to simulate the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members ...

Abstract: Cruise specific fuel consumption (SFC) of turbofan engines is a key metric for increasing airline profitability and for reducing CO2 emissions. Although increasing design bypass ratio (BPR) of separate exhaust turbofan ...

Abstract: Float ownership is one of the controversial issues in the litigation of delay claims. As float time does not always affect the overall project completion time, many believe that this time can be used by any of the project ...

Abstract: Sewer pipelines are a major component of any infrastructure. In fact, they are subject to deterioration through their service lives. Although researchers are pointing out the consequences of erosion voids in sewer pipelines, ...
