This investigation deals with the analytical formulation and experimental validation of a prestressed reinforced concrete seismic isolator with kinematic constraints at both ends. The kinematic isolator was proposed initially ...

This paper reports on the experimental behavior and design of a rolling self-centering precast prestressed pile (PPP) isolator. This isolation device was developed as an alternative for use in light-weight and low-cost ...

A 3D analytical formulation of a precast prestressed pile (PPP) seismic isolator with top and bottom spherical rolling kinematic constraints is proposed. The PPP isolator was initially conceived its a low-cost seismic ...

We study a sample of 28 S0 galaxies extracted from the integral field spectroscopic (IFS) survey Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area. We combine an accurate two-dimensional (2D) multicomponent photometric decomposition ...

This work presents an architecture that can help to increase the reliability in groups of cooperative mobile robots by taking advantage of analytical and sensor redundancy. First, the design of the architecture is portrayed ...
