Seismic Response of Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) Structural Fuse Systems
(2004)
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) ...
Seismic Response of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Systems with Structural Fuses
(2003)
Passive energy dissipation (PED) devices have been implemented to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. In this article, metallic dampers are defined to be structural fuses (SF) ...
Geophysical Investigations in the Old Panama Archaeological Site
(2006)
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 ...
Adding extra sensitivity to the SMART non‐linear actuator using sensor fusion
(Industrial Robot: The International Journal Of Robotics Research And Application, 03/01/2004)
The prospect of using humanoid robots in practical applications attracts an important research effort and the latest steps forward in robot technology show many remarkable achievements where design aspects, control systems ...
Décomposition d’Images Fondée sur l’Analyse de la Régularité Locale: Application au Codage Hybride d’Image
(2009)
La représentation hybride d'image utilise conjointement la décomposition en ondelettes pour l'information structurée et la modélisation paramétrique pour les textures. Dans ce cadre, nous proposons un algorithme qui décompose ...
Study of The Corrosion Products Formed on Carbon Steels in The Tropical Atmosphere of Panama
(2003)
Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction (in selected samples) have been used to characterize corrosion products on carbon steels after atmospheric exposure to the tropical Panamanian locations of Panama and ...
Reliable, Built-in, High-Accuracy Force Sensing for Legged Robots
(2006)
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 ...
Advances in the adsorptive particulate flotation process
(09/18/2003)
The removal of contaminants from liquid effluents by the adsorptive particulate flotation (APF) process, including new adsorbents and flotation devices, are reported. Herein, contaminants are adsorbed (and/or absorbed) ...
