Integrated optimization of nonlinear R/C frames with reliability constraints [PDF]
, 1989 A structural optimization algorithm was researched including global displacements as decision variables. The algorithm was applied to planar reinforced concrete frames with nonlinear material behavior submitted to static loading. The flexural performance

Estimation of elastic and viscous properties of the left ventricle based on annulus plane harmonic behavior [PDF]
, 2006 Assessment of left ventricular (LV) function with an emphasis on contractility has been a challenge in cardiac mechanics during the recent decades. The LV function is usually described by the LV pressurevolume (P-V) diagram. The standard P-V diagrams

Design and Validation of an Improved Rotational Variable Stiffness Mechanism
MachinesIn various aspects of robotics, including human–robot interaction, the ability to dynamically adjust the apparent stiffness of an interaction (e.g., between the robot and its environment or between the robot and its payload) has become an important ...

A Novel Laminar Jamming Mechanism for Variable-Stiffness Robotic Arms
ActuatorsA central problem in human–robot interaction is the risk of severe injury in humans in the event of a collision with a rigid robot arm. The introduction of variable stiffness into a robot arm mitigates the effects of impact and generates a safe ...

Targetting Chaos through Adaptive Control
, 1998 We describe adaptive control algorithms whereby a chaotic dynamical system can be steered to a target state with desired characteristics. A specific implementation considered has the objective of directing the system to a state which is more chaotic or ...
