... between the lattice Boltzmann method and the finite difference method. Design/methodology/approach The multiple‐relaxation‐time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann equation model coupled with the finite difference method are used to predict numerically the velocity and the temperature fields. Findings...

...O. Altuzarra; O. Salgado; V. Petuya; A. Hernández Purpose This paper aims to provide tools for the complete Jacobian analysis of robotic manipulators of general topology, using a comprehensive velocity equation. Design/methodology/approach First, a modelling process is made in order to build...

... are illustrated. Findings The dynamic behavior of functionally graded thick hollow cylinder is discussed. The radial wave propagation due to an internal pressure unloading is studied. The time history of radial stresses are discussed and the mean velocity of radial stress wave propagation for different...
