assessing the behavior of composite structures which are subjected to impact loads is one of the important subjects in the field of mechanical sciences. using thin-walled tubes which collapsed and absorbed the impact energy is a well-known method to prevent damages to the other parts of the structures. in this paper, deformations, crushing length, peak load, mean force and energy absorption cap...

a subsurface drainage network mainly carries unsteady flow and data are not usually available for model parameters calibration in such networks. in the present research, the finite volume method using the time splitting scheme was employed to develop a computer code for solving the one dimensional unsteady flow equations. using corrugated sub drainage pipes, an experimental prototype setup was ...

This paper introduces a new notion related to the traveling salesperson problem (TSP) — the notion of the TSP ratio. The TSP ratio of a TSP instance I is the sum of the marginal values of the nodes of I divided by the length of the optimal TSP tour on I, where the marginal value of a node i ∈ I is the difference between the length of the optimal tour on I and the length of the optimal tour on I...

Validation of algorithms developed by assistance robotics research on real platforms is essential. Producing robotic architectures that promote scientific advances while regarding usability for the final user is a challenging issue where an appropriate trade-off between both requirements must be found. This paper proposes a new framework for the development of mobility assistance techniques to ...
