Robotic assistance allows surgeons to perform dexterous and tremor-free procedures, but
robotic aid is still under-represented in procedures with constrained workspaces, such as …

This paper presents a unified framework for computing a surface to approximate a target
shape defined by discrete data points. A signed point-to-surface distance function is defined …

Though the micro-structure of 3D printed short carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic
(SCFRTP) composites is well reckoned to have a great influence on their mechanical …

This paper presents the computation of the safe working zone (SWZ) of a parallel
manipulator having three degrees of freedom. The SWZ is defined as a continuous subset of …

Parallel robots have been primarily investigated as potential mechanisms with stiffness
modulation capabilities through the use of actuation redundancy to change internal preload …

A hybrid computational method was proposed for simulation of biofilm growth processes
using a continuum model for transport of water and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) …

The dynamics of contact, stress and failure analysis of multibody systems is highly nonlinear.
Nowadays, several commercial and other analysis software dedicated for this purpose are …

Iron oxides and iron oxyhydroxides find wide applications as magnetic materials, adsorbents
for wastewater treatment and pigments. This study addresses the formation of anisotropic α …

Multifingered hands have the capability of dexterous manipulation of grasped objects and
thus significantly increase the capabilities of a robot equipped with multifingered hands …

This paper presents a formulation to identify a sphere in the fixed-orientation workspace of a
Stewart platform manipulator, such that no pair of legs of the platform would suffer an …
