Passive energy dissipation (PED) devices have been implemented to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. In this paper metallic dampers are defined to be structural fuses (SF) ...

In this paper we consider the postural stability problem for nonlinearly actuated quasi-static biped robots, both with respect to the joint angular positions and also with reference to the gripping effect between the ...

Uno de los principales problemas que confrontan las empresas dedicadas a la elaboración de frutos y vegetales frescos cortados en Panamá, es que no se han realizado estudios tendientes a establecer el tiempo de vida útil ...

infoplazas arose in Panama as means to combat the digital gap by providing Internet connectivity to the economically disadvantaged and geographically remote. Yet there is a dearth of information regarding their actual ...

Passive energy dissipation (PED devices have been implemented to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. In this paper metallic dampers are defined to be structural fuses (SF) when ...

The floor demands of Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) systems designed or retrofitted with metallic structural fuses are studied in this article. Floor velocity and acceleration are obtained and comparisons are made between ...

In this paper, time division multiplexing with optical switches in a multi-sensor system for level measurements with POF is reported. POF are used in the sensor heads and as transmission media along the optical network. ...
