Abstract: In this paper, a very easy, numerically stable and computationally efficient method is presented, which allows the modeling and simulation of a flexible robot with high precision. The proposed method is developed under the ...

Abstract: AbstractThe representation of the long-term radiative energy budgets in NASA?s MERRA and MERRA-2 reanalyses has been evaluated, emphasizing changes associated with the reanalysis system update. Data from the CERES EBAF ...

Abstract: The present study investigates the development and structure of three-dimensionality due to a three-dimensional velocity perturbation applied to the inlet of an unsteady two-dimensional separation ...

Abstract: The world is facing an imminent energy supply crisis. In order to sustain and increase our energy supply in an environmentally conscious manner, it is necessary to advance renewable technologies. An area of recent interest ...

Abstract: The freezing potential for NH3 and NaCl solutions is studied with the experiments being performed at approximately constant freezing rates. The results permit discussion of the transitory and stationary features of the ...

Abstract: In this paper the possibility of simulating the robot forward dynamics by making use of the inertia matrix and of the kinetic energy gradient only is demonstrated. Such method is shown to ...

Abstract: The gain values that can be imposed in pneumatic system controllers are bounded to the restricted actuator bandwidth. That limitation, with low damping and stiffness due to the air compressibility, ...

Abstract: In the previous paper (Part 1) ( and , 2006, ASME J. Fluids Eng., 128, pp. 142–150), the multiphase isothermal lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) model and single phase thermal LBE (TLBE) model ...
