The paper focuses on the problem of trajectory planning of flexible redundant robot manipulators (FRM) in joint space. Compared to irredundant flexible manipulators, FRMs present additional possibilities in trajectory planning due to their kinematics redundancy. A trajectory planning method to minimize vibration of FRMs is presented based on Genetic Algorithms (GAs). Kinematics redundancy is in...

This paper introduces FIR filter structures for interpolation and decimation by a factor of two. They are based on the frequency-response masking (FRM) approach in which the overall filter makes use of periodic model filters and nonperiodic masking filters. By using FRM techniques it is possible to obtain FIR filters requiring few multipliers even when the transition band is narrow. Further, in...

Fetal respiratory (FRM)and body movement (FBM) were studied on a transverse cross-section of the fetal upper-abdomen and plotted on a magnetic tape using an event marker. A total of 8 normal and 8 insulin-dependent pregnancies between 29 and 39 weeks was studied. In normal pregnancies, the % incidence of FRM and FBM was calculated from recordings which started 30 minutes before the beginning of...

The management of coastal flood risk is adapting to meet the challenges and increased risks posed by population change as well climate change, especially sea level rise. Protection being targeted areas where benefits are highest, while elsewhere there a shift towards more localized “living with floods” “resilience” approaches. Such decentralized approaches (FRM) require diverse range stakeholde...

The causal theory of reference (CTR) provides a well-articulated and widely-accepted account of the reference relation. On CTR the reference of a term is fixed by whatever property causally regulates the competent use of that term. CTR poses a metaethical challenge to realists by demanding an account of the properties that regulate the competent use of normative predicates. CTR might pose a cha...

The new research reactor of the Technische Universität München will provide the German needs of neutrons for the beginning of the next century. High intensities of thermal neutrons are provided by a particular densely packed core of highly enriched uranium and are extracted by 12 beam apertures. The low thermal power of 20 MW allows the positioning of a D2 cold source at a maximum of the therma...

A detailed level numerical model for Fibre Reinforced Mortar (FRM) using the free, opensource code OOFEM has been recently calibrated and validated by authors through comparisonwith experimental characterization tests (i.e. pull-off tests, tensile shear bond tests). In thispaper, developed is adopted to perform simulations on FRM strengthenedmasonry elements. particular, out-of-plane in-plane b...
