In this paper, the problem of a class of hyperredundant arms with continuum elements that performs the grasping function by coiling is discussed. This function is often met in the animal world as the elephant's trunk or octopus tentacle. First, the dynamic model in 3D-space is developed. The equations that describe the motion of the arm that carries a load by coiling are inferred. The stability of...
This contribution outlines the main stages of the path that in ten years led James Clerk Maxwell to the introduction of the concept of the electromagnetic field, to the formulation of the electromagnetic theory of light, and to the development of the equations we still adopt for the description of electromagnetic phenomena.
A physically based algorithm for fluid movement simulation is proposed. Compared with the traditional simulation technique, physically based simulation can represent realistic movement better. The Navier-Stokes equations are adopted as the model, and the operator splitting method is employed to split the model into external force term, advection term, diffusion term and projection term. Every step...
This paper is an analysis of the unsteady flow of fluid. A Lagrangian approach has been used for simulation. The obtained model is interpreted as a SoS. Structure of exchangeable information for SoS has been defined. The algorithm for numerical implementation of the offered model is brought forward and illustrative examples are given.
A parallel laminar micromixer with staggered curved channels is designed and fabricated in our study. The split-and-recombination (SAR) structures of the flow channels result in the reduction of the diffusion distance of two fluids. Furthermore, the impinging effects increase the mixing strength whereas one stream is injected into the other. The particles trajectories are utilized to numerically examine...
Two complementary but equivalent semantic interpretations of a high level probabilistic programming language are given. One of these interprets programs as partial measurable functions on a measurable space. The other interprets programs as continuous linear operators on a Banach space of measures. It is shown how the ordered domains of Scott and others are embedded naturally into these spaces. Two...
