A method of solution and the necessary calibrations are given to permit steady-state extent slip be found in contacts properly described within a half-plane formulation using only two parameters: contact law first-order descriptions tractions arising at edges. The approach takes assumption full stick corrects for regions an array glide dislocations. This is very versatile particularly appropria...

To simplify the computational process of homogeneous slope stability, improve computational accuracy, and find multiple potential slip surfaces of a complex geometric slope, this study utilized the limit equilibrium method to derive expression equations of overall and partial factors of safety. This study transformed the solution of the minimum factor of safety (FOS) to solving of a constrained...

This paper describes a concept and presents the experimental results for robotic end-effector operation for handling product items that are flexible or variable in physical properties such as size, shape or firmness and also describes a scheme by which a manipulator can use dynamic tactile sensing to detect when it is about to lose hold of a grasped object and take preventive measures before gr...

The present paper deals with the estimation of crack nucleation orientation in fretting-affected Al 7050-T7451 specimens, subjected to cylindrical contact partial slip regime. In such a context, cracks are generally assumed nucleate at trailing edge. However, experimental evidences starting within zone available literature. Therefore, parametric study on location is performed work by using an a...
