There are multiple configurations permitted for a cable stayed bridge such as the number of spans, tower shapes, and cable arrangements. Therefore it is always important to study the behaviour of these types of structures against strong winds so that aeroelastic instabilities do not appear. This paper contains detailed aeroelastic analyses of three cable stayed bridges of very different configu...

Workspace analysis is one of the most important issues in the robotic parallel manipulator design. ‎However, ‎the unidirectional constraint imposed by cables causes this analysis more challenging in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators. Controllable workspace is one of the general workspace in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators due to the dependency on geometry parameter...

Stress grading (SG) layer in cable terminations limits the critical electric field and properties of SG materials are important issues which have to be considered during manufacturing and selecting procedure. In this paper, two different types of (SG) materials are analyzed by both theory and test. According to the applied theory, important parameters as: electrical resistivity, breakdown volta...

This study proposed a framework of optimal design for flexible cable dome structures based on progressive collapse resistance. First, quantitative evaluation method nonlinear robustness control theory to reflect the structural resistance was proposed. Second, an actual engineering structure used as case evaluate effects parameters robustness. Finally, genetic algorithm optimisation further opti...

this paper proposes a control strategy for a cable-suspended robot based on sliding mode approach (smc) which is faced to external disturbances and parametric uncertainties. this control algorithm is based on lyapunov technique which is able to provide the stability of the end-effecter during tracking a desired path with an acceptable precision. the main contribution of the paper is to calculat...

Compared with the traditional cable, high-temperature superconducting (HTS) cable has advantages of low loss and large capacity transmission. At present, research on HTS cables mainly focuses calculation AC loss, performance under specific working conditions cooling system design. Relatively little been carried out basic design overall layout optimization cables. In this paper, an a rated curre...
