the aim of the present paper is to evaluate the influence of the soil- foundation- structure interaction (sfsi) effects on the component demand modifier factor of concrete gravity beams based on asce 41-06 standard. to this end, the beam on the nonlinear winkler foundation approach is employed which is a simple and efficient method. at first, four sets of 3-, 6-, 10- and 15-storey concrete mome...

The aim of this research is to understand and assess the application of organizational learning capabilities in the status quo and review desirable situations in the context of the agricultural faculty environment. Data were collected from 329 faculty members in 19 public agricultural faculties using a survey questionnaire. Results indicate that organizational learning capabilities are below av...

This paper presents the development of an optimal PID controller for vibration control of flexible manipulator structures using particle swarm optimization (PSO) for tuning the PID parameters. The flexible manipulator system is first modeled using finite difference (FD) approach and identification using global search of PSO. The control structure comprises conventional PID controller and an int...

Flexible Tactile Sensors In article number 2105334, Jongbaeg Kim and co-workers present a flexible tactile sensor based on the carbon nanotube-wrinkled structure. The strategies to improve sensing performance are provided. this cover image, components of sensor, which is hierarchical structure with aggregated nanotube bundles, expressed.
