Planning robot trajectory is a complex task that plays a significant role in design and application of robots in task space. The problem is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem which is fundamentally a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. Open-loop optimal control method is proposed as an approach for trajectory optimization of cable parallel manipulator for a given two-end-po...

This study focuses on the carrying capacity estimation for Darkesh forest in Northeast Iran. Four factors were used for estimating the carrying capacity including tourist flows, size of the area, optimum space available for each tourist, and visiting time. Results showed that the physical carrying capacity was 2727 ha or 165 visitors/day, while the real carrying capacity was 2719 ha or 132 visi...

The carrying capacity is well identified tool to manage problems due to uncontrolled tourism for any destination. This report highlights the carrying capacity estimation of Kerwa tourism area, Bhopal, India. The methodology used in this report is a new two-tier mechanism of impact analysis using index numbers derived from a survey of 123 stakeholders. From this the individual component impact a...

The objective of the presented research is to develop an efficient control system for highway load effects that involves the control of various parameters including: truck weight (axle weights and axle spacing), truck load distribution on bridge girders, dynamic load, strain, stress and deflection of bridge components, and verification procedure for the minimum load carrying capacity. This stud...

Degradation of solids bearing load due to the infusion of moisture when exposed to the environment can leads to a decrease in their load carrying capacity and can also lead to the failure of the body from performing its intended task. In this short paper, we study some qualitative properties of the solution to systems of equations that describe the degradation in a linearized elastic solid due ...
