Advancing the knowledge about the punching behaviour of flat slabs has been held back by the fact that only indirect measurements of the internal failure mechanism have typically been available. In this paper, a novel experimental approach for tracking the ...
This work is concerned with the mechanical design and the description of the different components of a new mobile base for a lightweight mobile manipulator. These kinds of mobile manipulators are normally composed of multiple lightweight links mounted on a ...
In previous work, we showed that two degree of freedom oscillators can be advantageously applied to horological time bases since they can be used to eliminate the escapement mechanism. We subsequently examined planar two degree of freedom oscillators based ...
Since the first applications of structural concrete, the shear behaviour of one-way slabs without transverse reinforcement has been largely investigated. Nevertheless, currently in the scientific community there is no general agreement on the mechanisms of ...
The development of robotic manipulators and hands that show dexterity, adaptability, and subtle behavior comparable to human hands is an unsolved research challenge. In this article, we considered the passive dynamics of mechanically complex systems, such ...

Over the last few decades, the application of glass in building construction has extended from small four-side supported windowpanes to areas traditionally reserved for other materials, such as roofs, floors, staircases and full building envelopes. Glass i ...
Let epsilon be a set of points in F-q(d). Bennett et al. (2016) proved that if \epsilon\ >> [GRAHICS] then epsilon determines a positive proportion of all k-simplices. In this paper, we give an improvement of this result in the case when epsilon is the Car ...
We describe a methodology for the interactive definition of curves and motion paths using a stochastic formulation of optimal control. We demonstrate how the same optimization framework can be used in different ways to generate curves and traces that are g ...
This article reports modeling techniques and results based on experimental Mode I characterization of a layered woven GFRP material with tufting reinforcement. Standard tuft and loop-less geometries are investigated on three different areal patterns to eva ...
The study provides derivation and application of novel formula for the calculation of general imposed constraints for kinematic chains (including mechanisms and zero-degrees-of-freedom Assur groups) depending on the types of kinematic pairs and numbers of ...
