Abstract:

Human beings remember plans concerning typical motions which occur frequently as schema, and by selecting suitable schema depending on conditions, generate muscular motion almost unconsciously. Though a motor schema represents typical motions, it is equipped with superior plan structure taking into consideration the concurrency and seriality of motions as seen in grasping actions and walking motions, and the structure of plans can be acquired by learning. In this paper, a study is made of the modeling of such motor schema with the use of neural networks. For this purpose, the neural network is

Motions using Leap Motion controller are not standardized while the use of it is spreading in media contents. Each content defines its own motions, thereby creating confusion for users. Therefore, to alleviate user inconvenience, this study categorized the commonly used motion by Amusement and Functional Contents and defined the Structural Motion Grammar that can be universally used based on the classification. To this end, the Motion Lexicon was defined, which is a fundamental motion vocabulary, and an algorithm that enables real-time recognition of Structural Motion Grammar was developed. Mo

Abstract:

Until recently, characteristics of strong ground motion resulting from different soil conditions were considered the dominant factor in developing design ground motions and reconciling observed damage. Interpretation of recent recordings of earthquakes by strong motion instrument arrays installed in California and Taiwan show that basic characteristics of strong motion are greatly influenced by the seismological and geological conditions. For a given soil condition, the characteristics of strong ground motion (peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, peak ground displacement, duration,

Abstract:

The three-dimensional (3-D) apparent motion of lines, outline triangles, and light points was studied in four experiments. The stimulus sequences were beginning and end patterns of 3-D motions of a line and a triangle. Light-point patterns corresponded to the ends of the lines and the vertices of the triangles. Perceived motion of lines and light-point pairs resembled the distal motions that were used to construct the proximal patterns. The correspondence was striking for configurations that appeared to move in depth. Outline triangles and light-point triplets produced a strong correspondence

Various structural types and ground motion characteristics lead to distinct intensity measures of structural seismic performance. For the lattice high-rise steel structure of communication towers, determining the intensity measures to adjust ground motion is critical. Additionally, a crucial problem is whether the ground motion intensity parameters of pulse-like ground motion and ordinary ground motion are consistent. In this study, a standard floor four-leg angle steeled communication tower was considered the study object, and 50 pulse-like ground motions and 50 ordinary ground motions were i

The kinematics of 3-PRS parallel mechanisms (PMs), an important category of 2R1T PMs, is very important for the motion control and error compensation of PMs. In order to produce a spindle head that could meet the requirements of various machining accuracy levels, a definite kinematics analysis of the PMs par should be taken with caution firstly. Here, the mathematical models of two 3-PRS PMs with different branch chain arrangements were established using the Euler angle.

The Faculty of Architecture and Engineering Building at Tohoku University survived two strong ground motions. This is not surprising because the structure was stiff and strong. What is surprising is that the first ground motion did not cause severe structural damage but the second one caused so much structural damage that the building had to be evacuated and demolished. The damage occurred despite two key facts: (1) the intensities of the mentioned ground motions are understood to have been similar and (2) the building was strengthened after the first motion (and before the second) following s

The structural response of buildings to earthquake shaking is of critical importance for seismic design purposes. Research on the relationship between earthquake ground motion intensity, building response, and seismic risk is ongoing, but not yet fully conclusive. Often, probability demand models rely on one ground motion intensity measure (IM) to predict the engineering demand parameter (EDP). The engineering community has suggested several IMs to account for different ground motion characteristics, but there is no single optimal IM.

This paper compares base shears computed from floor accelerations (inertial base shear) and column shears (structural base shear) for two mid-rise, multistory buildings due to a suite of 30 earthquake ground motions.

Therefore, it is concluded that the inertial base shear computed from strong motion records should be used with caution to estimate the structural base shear.

Abstract:

The floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) have many more advantages than the onshore wind turbines, but they also have more complicated aerodynamic characteristics due to complex platform motions. The research objective of this paper is to investigate unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of a FOWT under the pitch, yaw, and coupled pitch–yaw platform motions using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method in the Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) simulations. The pitch, yaw, and coupled pitch–yaw motions are studied separately to analyze the platform motions’ effects on the

Abstract:

Flexible screen possessing a high-contrast ratio to accomplish high-definition display can be attributed to the accuracy of polarizer assembly. Different from the existing polarizer attached onto a flexible screen, resulting in low-accuracy and nonalignment attaching behaviors, a unique approach of underactuated bionic scorpion robot arms can be developed to explore the stable capture and accurate alignment motion operations. Overall structure design and D–H kinematic simulation of bionic scorpion robot arm can be conducted to analyze virtual three-key typical motions. Motion optimization of s

Abstract:

Far-field long-period ground motions (hereafter long-period ground motions) featuring low-frequency components are responsible for the resonant responses of high-rise buildings. In this context, it is beneficial to assess the dynamic performance of these buildings under long-period ground motions with the aid of time history analysis. This paper proposes a method for generating long-period motions by combining long-period components synthesized by spectral representation with high-frequency components simulated by wavelet packets. Later-arriving long-period surface waves (LALP surface waves),

Abstract:

Three-dimensional (3D) handheld photoacoustic (PA) and ultrasound (US) imaging performed using mechanical scanning are more useful than conventional 2D PA/US imaging for obtaining local volumetric information and reducing operator dependence. In particular, 3D multispectral PA imaging can capture vital functional information, such as hemoglobin concentrations and hemoglobin oxygen saturation (sO2), of epidermal, hemorrhagic, ischemic, and cancerous diseases. However, the accuracy of PA morphology and physiological parameters is hampered by motion artifacts during image acquisition. The aim of

Abstract:

A stochastic earthquake ground motion database comprising twelve groups of simulated ground motions was introduced. Ground motions were generated using the stochastic semi-physical model of earthquake ground motions, based on a cluster analysis of 7778 recorded earthquake ground motion. All twelve groups of simulated earthquake ground motions were validated through the probability density evolution method (PDEM) by comparing their time histories and response spectra. As an application of the proposed database, an 18-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame-shear wall structure was analyzed using o

Abstract:

Structural pounding between adjacent, insufficiently separated buildings, or bridge segments, has been repeatedly observed during seismic excitations. Such earthquake-induced collisions may cause severe structural damage or even lead to the collapse of colliding structures. The aim of the present paper was to show the results of the study focused on determination of peak impact forces during collisions between buildings exposed to different seismic excitations. A set of different ground motion records, with various peak ground acceleration (PGA) values and frequency contents, were considered.

In this work, an investigation into the influence of prescribed motion on a body caudal fin aquatic unmanned vehicle (AUV) energy harvester is carried out. The undulatory–oscillation locomotion inspired by fishes actuates a composite beam representative of a spinal column with a piezoelectric patch. Two patch configurations—one at the head and tail—are considered for the AUV energy harvester, with a length that would not activate a harmonic in the system. An electromechanical model which accounts for the strain of the prescribed motion and the induced relative strain is developed. Discretizing

Abstract:

This paper aims to investigate the response spectra characteristics of the principal components of seismic motion, which are required for accurate multicomponent structural analysis. Mean spectra were determined for the three principal uncorrelated acceleration components for an ensemble of 97 earthquake records. The average inclination of the quasi-vertical component from the vertical axis is found to be 11.4°, with a standard deviation of 9.9°. The ratio of the minor and the major quasi-horizontal spectra varies between 0.63 and 0.81, which are lower than the value of 1 commonly used in desi

Abstract:

Selecting an appropriate ground motion intensity measure (IM) to estimate the aleatory uncertainty produced by ground motion variability is the first and crucial step in fragility analysis. The choice of IM is influenced not only by the structural system type itself but also by the limit state of the structural damage. In this study, an investigation of the selection of IM in fragility analysis with respect to different limit states is developed for a 48-story mega-scale steel frame structure with buckling restrained braces. A comparative study of the efficiency of 27 IMs is conducted at four
