This paper deals with the handling of deformable linear objects (DLOs), such as hoses, wires or leaf springs. It investigates the a priori knowledge about the 6-dimensional force/torque signal for a changing contact situation between a DLO and a rigid polyhedral obstacle. The result is a complete list, containing for each contact change the most significant combination of force/torque signal co...

In this paper, new robust algorithms for the solution of systems of linear equations which arise from the discretisation of partial diierential equations with strongly varying coeecients are introduced. These iterative methods are based on the tangential frequency ltering decompositions. The existence of the TFFD and the convergence of the induced iterative algorithms is shown for symmetric and...

If two elastic bodies with rough surfaces are first pressed against each other and then loaded tangentially, sliding will occur at the boundary of the contact area while the inner parts may still stick. With increasing tangential force, the sliding parts will expand while the sticking parts shrink and finally vanish. In this paper, we study the fractions of the contact area, tangential force an...

Two kinds of forces are active in vitreoretinal traction diseases: tangential and anterior-posterior forces. However, tangential forces are less characterized and classified in literature compared to the anterior-posterior ones. Tangential epiretinal forces are mainly due to anomalous posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), vitreoschisis, vitreopapillary adhesion (VPA), and epiretinal membranes (E...

Abstract Short-period magnetic enhancements were detected by the MAP-LMAG magnetometer onboard Kaguya orbiting moon in solar wind at an altitude of 100 km. The duration was typically 10 s, which corresponds to 0.5 degrees latitude along orbit and a scale size 15 magnitude field enhanced up 1.5–3.6 times as large that preceding quiet periods. No such found upstream field. short-period categorize...

In this paper, we propose a robust motion estimation algorithm using uncalibrated 3D motion model considering depth discontinuity. Most of the previous direct motion estimation algorithms with 3D motion model compute the depth value through the local smoothing, which result in erroneous results at depth discontinuity. In this paper, we overcome this problem at depth discontinuity by adding disc...
