Documenting Design-Build
For engineers more familiar with the traditional design�bid�build process, design�build might present some unforeseen risks and responsibilities. To define and allocate these, the Engineers...
Enabler Chassis Features and Mobiltiy Analysis
The Enabler is a proposed Lunar Base work vehicle. The unique construction of the Enabler's six-wheeled chassis provides unusual articulation for steering, balancing, and overcoming obstacles....
The Optimal Selection of Robot Modules for Space Manipulators
Monolithic robot systems are poorly suited to the broad requirements and uncertainties of space automation applications. Designers have considered building many robots, each of which can...
Effects of Force Reflection on Telerobotic Performance
The University of Kansas Augmented Telerobotics Laboratory conducted a study to examine the effects of force reflection on telerobotic system and operator performance in performing two...
A Conceptual Study of A Solar Power Satellite Using Centrifugal Force
We studied the self deployable Solar Power Satellite (SPS) using centrifugal force in order to explore ways in reducing construction costs. We designed a 340 kW SPS, and studied the unfolding...
Validation of the European Yield Model for Nailed Connections
Recent changes in National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS) connection design methods make it necessary to validate the European yield model (EYM) for nails. Test values...
Cyclic Behavior of Joints Between Steel Beams and Reinforced Concrete Columns
The design and behavior of composite beam-column joints for seismic design are reviewed based on the results of tests. Issues addressed include the strength, deformation, and toughness...
Recent Studies of the Behaviour of Semi-Rigid Composite Connections
Following renewed interest in the semi-rigid properties of joints in steel frame structures, a more recently identified area of research has been the study of composite connections. The...
Research and Application of Various Joints of Space Grid Structures in China
This paper introduces the research work results and applications of various joints of space grid structures in China. It also gives out formulas for determining the loading capacity and...
Effect of Joint Rigidity on Buckling Strength of Single Layer Lattice Domes
The present paper discusses the effect of the joint rigidity on the buckling strength of single layer lattice domes, with regular three way grids, under vertical loading. The effect of...
Joint Probability of Superelevated Water Levels and Wave Heights at Duck, North Carolina
Storm events are typically classified as a percent occurrence or return interval based on their peak storm elevation. The stage is the combination of storm surge, astronomical tide and...
