Unanchored steel tanks subjected to strong ground motion may experience rocking motion if the moment generated by the inertial mass of the content stored is greater than the resisting moment provided by the weight of the tank and its content. Rocking of th ...
If you need to design ultra-high precision devices for mechanisms with multiple axes there are not a lot of ways leading around flexure-based joints. Using this type of articulations totally eliminates backlash and friction and is, by this, providing an ac ...
The following paper shows an approach to measure orientation data of sensors during an airplane flight for traffic data acquisition. This orientation data is necessary for georegistration of any taken aerial images and extracted features. Since an inertial ...
An external manipulator for positioning surgical instruments within the abdominal cavity, comprising a hybrid kinematics with a parallel structure, able to provide four, active or passive, positional degrees of freedom to a endoscopic unit, placed in the d ...
Under strong earthquake motions, the liquid stored within large unanchored steel tanks can cause rocking and uplift of the tank base from the supporting foundation. Repeated rocking can lead to low-cycle fatigue fractures in the tank base-plate, and ultima ...
Recent experiments on DIII-D have focused on elucidating the drive mechanisms for intrinsic rotation in tokamak fusion plasmas. In H-mode plasmas, the effective torque at the edge (ρ > 0.8) associated with the intrinsic rotation shows a dependence on th ...
A study of non-anchored tanks found in Switzerland (Koller, 2003) revealed that the plastic rotation of the shell-to-bottom connection in four of the six tanks studied did not satisfy the 0.2 radians limit established by the Eurocode (Eurocode-8, 2005). Th ...
A novel approach for measurement of small rotation angles using imaging method is proposed and demonstrated. A plane mirror placed on a precision rotating table is used for imaging the newly designed composite coded pattern. The imaged patterns are capture ...
The main goal of virtual reality based surgery simulators with haptic feedback is to provide an alternative to traditional training methods on animals, cadavers or real patients. Haptic feedback is a key feature for every surgery simulator for the training ...
The stochastic equations of motion for a system of interacting rigid bodies in a solvent are formulated and studied. Three-dimensional bodies of arbitrary shape, with arbitrary couplings between translational and rotational degrees of freedom, as arise in ...
