in this paper, a new approach to modify cable tension measuring mechanism is described; furthermore, the constructed boards which amplify load cell output are introduced. this approach has some advantages including of providing feedback for motors, evaluating the robot’s ultimate load carrying capacity, improving the motor control system and estimating the vibrating deflections of the end effec...

62 Abstract In this paper, a new analytical technique to study the effect of wide-spread fatigue damage in ductile panels is presented. The main purpose of the study is to develop an efficient methodology to predict the maximum load carrying capacity of panels with cracks. The problem arises especially in the fuselage skin of aging airplanes, in which cracks initiate from a row of rivet holes. ...

Corrosion is one of the major problems affecting the durability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This paper investigates the effect of rebar corrosion on the performance of reinforced self-consolidating concrete (SCC) members and the effectiveness of repair. A control RC member, which has no corrosion problem, was prepared to compare against corroded and repaired members. A number of rei...

omentin-1 is a novel adipokine that is predominantly secreted by visceral adipose tissue. circulating levels of omentin-1 is inversely related to obesity. there is limited information about the effect of exercise training on serum omentin-1 concentration. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of four weeks of progressive resistance training on serum omentin-1 levels. 16 male wiste...

Introduction Designing a structure like a portal frame of an industrial low-rise building is an iterative optimisation process. In today's design practice, the designing engineer takes from codes or standards the design values for the external loads, for instance the wind load distribution and the appropriate value of the wind velocity pressure. Depending on the climate at the building site, a ...

In this paper, the consequences of filled volume on the transient lateral dynamic and stabilities boundaries displacement of an articulated vehicle carrying liquid is investigated. First, a sixteen-degrees-of-freedom nonlinear dynamic model of an articulated vehicle is developed then, using TruckSim software the model is validated. Next, the dynamic interaction of the fluid cargo with the vehic...
