As the desire to see robots ubiquitous in society grows, so does the need for providing the robots with the means of building awareness of any humans with which it may be sharing the environment. This paper presents a ...

The melting and freezing phase transitions of thermometric fixed point cells are used as a reference point for the International Temperature Scale ITS-90. These cells can achieve reproducibility of 0.1mK, and international ...

Local Government in Australia is responsible for the operational management and maintenance of over 20,000 bridges. More than 70% of these bridges comprise aging timber bridges, the load capacity and structural adequacy ...

This letter develops a novel and fast framework called APLPP to tackle the face recognition task by combining locality preserving projections (LPP) with the affinity propagation clustering method. Unlike LPP, which uses ...

In the conventional displacement-based finite element analysis of composite beamcolumns that consist of two Euler-Bernoulli beams juxtaposed with a deformable shear connection, the coupling of the transverse and longitudinal ...

This paper considers the tbermo-elastic behaviour of shallow steel arches of long span, which are deployed in large roofing applications such as airport terminals, during a fire. The analysis of shallow arches requires ...

This paper presents the loss calculation and thermal analysis of a high-speed permanent magnet claw pole motor with soft magnetic composite (SMC) core. As the magnetic field in a claw pole machine is really threedimen ...
