The lightweight constructions and components stiffness play an important role in mechanics and in particular in high performance robots. In this paper the Virtual Prototyping Design (VPD) approach for addressing the robot design to this goal is shown. The VPD is applied to three mechanical problems of Walking Hydraulic Robots (WHRs): the first one deals with the leg joint sensitivity analysis; ...

Abstract The concept of joint bivariate signature, introduced by Navarro et al. [13], is a useful tool for quantifying the reliability two systems with shared components. As univariate system Samaniego [17], its applications are limited to only one type components, which restricts practical use. Coolen and Coolen-Maturi [2] survival generalizes Samaniego’s signature can be used multiple types T...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural pattern of the effect of corporate governance mechanisms (internal organization) on audit quality considering the role of the intermediary variable of behavioural components of auditors. The statistical population of this research is independent auditors and auditors working in audit firms. A sample of 395 people was selected by simple...
