Abstract: The derivation of a kinematic and dynamic model for a parallel manipulator is presented in this paper. The model can be used to calculate displacements, velocities, and accelerations of both ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to find out a computational procedure for the kinematic and dynamic analysis of a mechanism with multiple loops having motion spaces of a Lie algebra or Lie algebras. ...

Abstract: This paper offers a set of partial differential equations designed to enable elastic buckling analysis of incomplete composite plates with regard to the thickness of a steel plate. The paper also analyzes the relationship ...

Abstract: This paper offers a set of partial differential equations designed to enable static analysis of incomplete composite plates with regard to the thickness of a steel plate. The paper also analyzes the relationship of lateral ...

Abstract: A solar pond may be used as a large area collector and for the storage of solar energy. The salt‐gradient solar pond is a body of saline water in which the concentration increases with depth. This density gradient inhibits ...

Abstract: Heat extraction is done by recycling pond water: Hot water stored in the lower region (convective storage zone) of a salt‐gradient solar pond is pumped from the end of the pond, passed through a heat exchanger, and returned ...

Abstract: In this study, freezing and thawing tests were conducted on lightweight concrete and aggregate at different freezing rates (one cycle per day and six cycles per day) in order to investigate their freeze–thaw resistance and ...

Abstract: To attain the highest performance of gas turbine cogeneration plants, it is necessary to rationally select the numbers and capacities of gas turbines and auxiliary equipment in consideration of ...

Abstract: This paper describes the characteristics of the heat transfer and flow of a swirling laminar impinging jet in a comparatively narrow space with a confined wall. Air is impinged on a flat ...

Abstract: The subcooled boiling heat transfer and the critical heat flux (CHF) due to exponentially increasing heat inputs with various periods (Q=Q0 exp(t/τ), τ=22.52 ms–26.31 s) were systematically ...
