Abstract: In this paper, we demonstrate the application of a discrete control Lyapunov function (DCLF) for exponential orbital stabilization of the simplest walking model supplemented with an actuator between the legs. The Lyapunov ...

Abstract: In this study, a three-dimensional microscale framework utilizing the discrete-element method (DEM) is presented to analyze the seismic response of soil-foundation-structure systems subjected to three-directional base ...

Abstract: Temporary structures such as scaffolds, shelters, tents, and facilities used during the reconstruction or repair of buildings and bridges, etc., are usually constructed for a limited-time use. Although the design of such ...

Abstract: The effect of nonplastic fines on the undrained shear response of sand depends on many variables, including fines content, skeleton void ratio (es), interfine void ratio (ef), global void ratio (e), confining pressure, and ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of the transosseous elements is a defining factor in the overall stiffness, stability, and reliability of an external fixation system. Mechanics involving the application ...

Abstract: An elastic solution of cylindertruncated cone shell intersection under internal pressure is presented. The edge solution theory that has been used in this study takes bending moments and shearing forces into account in the ...

Abstract: This study proposes a relation for the failure strain of externally bonded reinforcement on groove (EBROG) joints derived through multivariate regression analysis on the experimental results. In addition to the conventional ...
