There is an increasing need to determine accurately the strength properties of tendons for an effective ground control on mines and underground structures as well as on modelling simulations. The strength properties of cables, used as cable bolts, have been evaluated mainly by their ultimate tensile strength, as this kind of test can be carried out in the field as well as in the laboratory. Onl...

The research is based on some previously performed preliminary experiments of the authors and tries to find out the necessary characteristics of a magnetic stimulator (the proper value for the initial voltage on the circuit capacitor) that can trigger the activation of the spinal cord. The effect of the induced electric field upon the nerve fiber located inside the spine is determined using an ...

This paper addresses the design and development of a single-motor-driven dexterous hand. The hand possesses the following characteristics: (1) single electric actuator mechanism for multi-DOF’s through the use of clutches, (2) modular structure to support reconfigurability, and (3) cable-driven system to allow remote location of the actuator. Due to these features, the hand is able to provide a...

In this paper, we will present a comparison between the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) and Taylor Matrix Method by solving some well-known partial differential equations (PDEs). In order to illustrate the analysis we examined the Telegraph equation, which is considered one of the most significant partial differential equations, describe wave propagation of electric signals in a cable transm...
