Abstract:

Eight 3D (three dimensional) rock joint geometry modeling schemes which investigate statistical homogeneity, and incorporate corrections for sampling biases and applications of stereology are presented. A procedure for verification of the developed models also is presented. In this study, shape of the joints was assumed as circular. The models provide the number of joint sets, and for each joint set, the intensity, orientation, spacing, location and diameter distributions. Miller's method (1983) with new interpretations (Kulatilake et al., 1990b) and equal area polar plots were used together t

Abstract:

The welding process introduces residual stress originating from the heating, melting and cooling of the material. From the point of view of fatigue and stress corrosion cracking, the weld residual stress perpendicular to the weld axis is of particular interest. When qualifying weld parameters for welds in large cylinders having a ratio of radius to plate thickness larger than say approximately 100; reference to plane plates are often made for the sake of simplicity. However, the weld residual stress perpendicular to the weld axis is severely underestimated in the plane plate compared with the

Abstract:

This dissertation discusses the time and place that Brownian motion on a Riemannian manifold first exit a normal ball of small radius. A general procedure is given for computing asymptotic expansions of joint moments of the first exit time and place random variables as the radius of the geodesic ball decreases to zero. The asymptotic expansion of the joint Laplace transform of exit time and spherical harmonics of exit position is derived for a ball of small radius. A generalized Pizetti’s formula is used to expand the solution of the related partial differential equations. These expansions are

In recent years, the design, fabrication, and control of robotic systems inspired by biology has gained renewed attention due to the potential improvements in efficiency, maneuverability, and adaptability with which animals interact with their environments.

Often, these studies are conducted by recording natural motions of the system of interest using a few high-resolution, high-speed cameras.

Abstract:

In this study, the pre-failure behavior of a jointed rock block is modeled by an incrementally linear elastic anisotropic constitutive model (using an orthotropic model in 2D). In order to estimate the parameters in the constitutive model, a new technique was used in this dissertation. A 2D joint geometry generation code was used to generate finite size actual joint networks in 2D rock blocks. A 2D distinct element code (UDEC) was chosen as the stress analysis tool in this study. Fictitious joints were introduced into the rock blocks which contain finite size actual joints to discretize the pr

Prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) is less common in the ankle compared to other joints; however, deformation brought on by degeneration causes pain, loss of function, and overall decreased quality of life.

Ankle arthroplasty currently has high failure rates, and there are lack of substantial data from long-term outcome studies. By understanding the morphometric changes that occur during the different stages of OA, we are able to identify early signs of the

Abstract:

Parallel robotic manipulators are generally believed to be stiffer under load and more precise than conventional serial manipulators. This is because of their closed loop construction which allows forces to be shared through multiple paths to the ground. Unfortunately, most proposed parallel manipulator designs have severe workspace restrictions. The introduction of Variable Geometry Trusses (VGT’s) represents an opportunity to overcome this limitation. The lack of stiffness in many serial manipulators is primarily due to compliance at the joints. The disadvantage of the series connected devi

Abstract:

This diploma thesis deals with hip endoprothesis, primarily with endoprothesis conservative Mayo. A part of this paper considers a study aimed at an anatomy, types and modern trends in endoprothetic. On the basis of this study, gained CT data and the help of systems Ansys Workbench, Rhino Ceros and Catia there was made a model of proximal part of femur and TEP Conservative Mayo. A computational model was build up afterwards, which was used for a stress-train analysis.

Abstract:

Electroencephalographic data recorded on the human scalp can be modeled as a linear mixture of underlying dipolar source generators. The characterization of such generators is the aim of several families of signal processing methods. In this HDR we consider in several details three of such families, namely 1) EEG distributed inverse solutions, 2) diagonalization methods, including spatial filtering and blind source separation and 3) Riemannian geometry. We highlight our contributions in each of this family, we describe algorithms reporting all necessary information to make purposeful use of th

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the problem of determining appropriate skeletal configurations for which a virtual animated character moves to desired positions as smoothly, rapidly, and as accurately as possible. During the last decades, several methods and techniques, sophisticated or heuristic, have been presented to produce smooth and natural solutions to the Inverse Kinematics (IK) problem. However, many of the currently available methods suffer from high computational cost and production of unrealistic poses. In this study, a novel heuristic method, called Forward And Backward Reaching Inverse Ki

碩士<br>國立虎尾科技大學<br>機械與電腦輔助工程系碩士班<br>100<br>In this work, the adhesion strength of insert molding with two types of joint geometry is studied. The material used is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and the main different of the joint geometry are the contact angles, which are 90°and 75°, respectively. The specimen dimension is designed according to the ASTM-D25 Standard. The influence of injection parameters such as injection speed, holding pressure, holding time, etc. on the adhesion strength of insert molding are investigated through the Taguchi method. In addition, the effects of the diff

On the study of hybrid join t, Kuo and Huang conducted a series of tensile-compression tests to simulateth e mechanical conditions for hybrid joint in the laboratory, and proved itsexis tency.
