Toward a faster mapping onto configuration space for obstacle avoidance in robotics
(1987)
As robotic manipulators become used more widely in industry, there may be a desire to include them in more complicated environments. In such workspaces, obstacle avoidance will be an element of the hierarchical control ...
Finite element analysis of superplastic metal forming processes
(1986)
The commercial development of superplastic materials has provided opportunities for producing complex components using new forming techniques. The available analyses are restricted to specific shapes and other simplified ...
The control volume finite element method as applied to transient laminar free convection between parallel heated vertical plates
(1987)
The control volume finite element method is applied to transient laminar free convection between vertical parallel heated plates. The results are compared with those obtained from the alternating direction implicit method ...
Analysis of eccentric annular pressure seals : a new solution procedure for determing reactive force and rotordynamic coefficients
(1988)
A new analysis procedure which solves for leakage, reactive force, and rotordynamic coefficients of eccentric annular liquid and gas pressure seals is presented in this dissertation. This analysis procedure is based on a ...
Product design analysis for robotic assembly using extended Group Technology techniques
(1988)
The adaptive ability of robotic assembly systems is often limited by hardware deficiencies. In order to effectively use the available robotic assembly systems, products need to be designed to accommodate current equipment ...
Fracture diagram for stiffened panel and computer based approach for structural life prediction
(1980)
Over the past few decades the aircraft industry has devoted considerable effort incorporating fracture control procedures in the design of their structures. One of the problems confronting aircraft designers is the modeling ...
Deformation micromechanisms in polymeric matrices and carbon fibre reinforced composites
(1989)
The objective of this study is to identify the deformation micromechanisms operative in carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites and in the base polymers that act as the matrix material. The aim is to understand the ...
