La actualización y el reconocimiento de las capacidades de profesional involucrado en actividades de soldadura, son esenciales para garantizar la calidad y seguridad de los productos y servicios prestados. Para mejorar y ...

In ship building, line-heating is widely employed as an effective method to form steel plate with complex 3-dimensional carved geometries. However the plate bending by line heating is strongly dependent on skills. To ...

Seismic design relies on inelastic deformations through hysteretic behavior. However, this translates into damage on structural elements, permanent system deformations following an earthquake, and possibly high cost for ...

The results of geophysical prospections in an archaeological site of hispanic type in Panama (Central America) are presented in this article. The archaeological site of Old Panama has been intensively investigated with the ...

An approach for achieving reliable, built-in, high-accuracy force sensing for legged robots is presented, based on direct exploitation of the properties of a robot’s mechanical structure. The proposed methodology relies ...

Frequency domain methodology is applied to obtain a nominal model for the Zero-Moment Point (ZMP) stability index of a biped robot in an attempt to establish a relationship between the robot trunk trajectories and the ...

Passive energy devices (PED) are useful to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. Metallic dampers are one such PED. When they are designed such that all damage is concentrated ...
