New analytical method for determining the load-carrying capacity of two-way simply supported concrete slabs

Load Carrying Capacity of Simply Supported Variable Thickness Circular Plates

The calculation of the load carrying capacity of variable thickness circular plates subjected to arbitrary rotational symmetric loading is presented. The analysis considers plate materials that obey either the square or the Tresca yield criterion. By using upper and lower bound theorems of limit analysis, corresponding estimations for the load carrying capacity of the plate are obtained. It is ...

determining maximum dynamic load carrying capacity of cable robots between two end points of workspace

in this paper, according to high load capacity and rather large workspace characteristics of cable driven robots (cdrs), maximum dynamic load carrying capacity (dlcc) between two given end points in the workspace along with optimal trajectory is obtained. in order to find dlcc of cdrs, joint actuator torque and workspace of the robot constraints concerning to non-negative tension in cables are ...

Determining Maximum Load Carrying Capacity of Flexible Link Manipulators

In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to improve the Maximum Load Carrying Capacity (MLCC) of exible robot manipulators. The maximum allowable load which can be achieved by a exible manipulator along a given trajectory is limited by the joints' actuator capacity and the end e ector accuracy constraint. In an open-loop approach, the end e ector deviation from the prede ned path is signi cant a...
