Bipedal Walking for a Full Size Humanoid Robot Utilizing Sinusoidal Feet Trajectories and Its Energy Consumption
This research effort aims to develop a series of full-sized humanoid robots, and to research a simple but reliable bipedal walking method. Since the debut of Wabot from Waseda University in 1973, several full-sized humanoid robots have been developed around the world that can walk, and run. …

The Optimum design of Flat Rectrangular Concrete Plates supporting loads in Buidling structures and tests on a one-third full size experimental model
The popularity of concrete flat plate construction in Building Structures has soared in the last 20 years but their design has been based mainly on their ultimate strength rather than their behaviour in terms of deflection and cracking at working loads. As a result their deflections have been …

Fundamental frequencies of I-joist, solid-sawn wood joist, and truss floors based on tee-beam modeling
Full size wood joist floors were built and their frequencies were measured. Double tee-beam floors were built and also cut from the full size floors and their frequencies were measured. The floor joists investigated included: solid sawn, parallel chord floor trusses, and composite I -joists. The …

A study of semi-rigid connections between longspan joists and columns
… to establish a correct technique for testing full size longspan joists and column connections. Although not commonly utilized in industry, in which longspan joists most frequently are used as simple-supported beams, the longspan joists have a degree of negative moment capacity. If this …

A novel vacuum window for megawatt gyrotrons
… were changed to curved. Both designs used full size, 100 mm clear apertures, but the curved elements with 214 mm curvature radii were 1.3 rather than 1.75 mm thick. The model was also used to design a half size prototype experiment. This 50 mm clear aperture system used 60 mm OD x 0.47mm …

Acoustics and manufacture of Caribbean steelpans
… application to the production of miniature and full size steelpan dishes. The application of ISF to steelpan making is found to be commercially profitable but could be jeopardised by the tuning stage of the steelpan making process. A preliminary study on the effect of impact on tone stability is …

The effect of moisture gradients on the stiffness and strength of yellow-poplar
… Moisture gradients are likely to develop in full-size members tested in the In-Grade Testing Program and might therefore affect the test results. The purpose of this study was to mathematically model the effect of desorption moisture gradients on the stiffness and strength of yellow-poplar …

Scale effects in buckling, postbuckling and crippling of graphite-epoxy Z-section stiffeners
… composite structures by reducing the reliance on full size component testing. Use of scale models requires the relationship be known between the responses of the small scale model and full size component. This relationship may be predicted by dimensional analysis or through mechanics formulations. …
