RISPassive and Active Closures by Constraining Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper provides a unified theoretical framework for analytical characterization of grasping and manipulation capability of robotic grippers and hands as well as fixing capability of fixtures ...
Scaling Surface Mixing/Mixed Layer Depth under Stabilizing Buoyancy Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study concerns the combined effects of Earth?s rotation and stabilizing surface buoyancy flux upon the wind-induced turbulent mixing in the surface layer. Two different length scales, the Garwood scale and Zilitinkevich ...
Design Guide of Master Arms Considering Operator Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a design guide of master arms for teleoperation is discussed. The quality of the master arm design has a considerable influence on the maneuverability of master-slave systems. ...
Green’s Function for a Heat Source in an Infinite Region With an Arbitrary Shaped Hole
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In two-dimensional thermoelasticity, Green’s functions of the external force boundary value problem are derived for an infinite plane with an arbitrary shaped hole under adiabatic and isothermal ...
Study on Wear of Grinding Wheels: 1—Bond Fracture in Grinding Wheels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fracturing of bond bridges in grinding wheels is explained from the standpoint of brittle-fracture. It is shown that the wear rate of grinding wheels can be expressed as the single exponential ...
Four-Joint Redundant Wrist Mechanism and Its Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is known that conventional three-joint wrists of robot manipulators have two conical regions of degeneracy in which the ability of the wrist to orient the end-effector is poor, A four-joint ...
Reexamination of the Depth Error in XBT Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By using the accumulated datasets of CTD-XBT comparison experiments since 1985, the depth errors for both T-7 and T-6 probes were reexamined. All the XBT probes used here were manufactured by the Tsurumi-Seiki Company, ...
Financial Seismic Risk Analysis of Building Portfolios
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The role of financial seismic risk analysis and risk quantification has grown rapidly in dealing with important risk-management decisions for building portfolios. Recent developments in regional seismicity modeling, ...
Heat Source in Infinite Plane with Elliptic Rigid Inclusion and Hole
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The plane thermoelastic problems of a stationary heat source in an infinite plane with an elliptic rigid inclusion and an elliptic hole are analyzed under thermally adiabatic and isothermal boundary conditions. The problems ...
Estimating the Eddy Viscosity Profile from Velocity Spirals in the Ekman Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urbulent mixing induced by tidal currents near the sea bottom plays a key role in coastal and shallow sea environments. Many attempts have been made to quantify turbulent mixing near the seabed, such as velocity microstructure ...
