A serial robot is an open kinematic chain made up of rigid bodies, called links, connected by kinematic pairs, called joints, that provide relative motion between consecutive links. The point at the end of the last link is known as the end-effector. Only two types of joints are considered throughout this work: revolute (prismatic) joints, that perform a rotational (translational) motion around (along) a given axis. 1, record 1, English, - serial%20robot

Combined hybrid. Combined hybrid systems have features of both series and parallel hybrids. They incorporate power-split devices allowing for power paths from the engine to the wheels that can be either mechanical or electrical. The main principle behind this system is the decoupling of the power supplied by the engine ... from the power demanded by the driver. 8, record 3, English, - series%2Dparallel%20hybrid%20vehicle

In a series hybrid-electric vehicle all energy supplied by the non-reversible source (combustion engine or fuel cell) is converted into electricity. The wheels are always driven by the electric motor ... In a parallel hybrid-electric vehicle most of the mechanical energy supplied by the combustion engine is transferred to the wheels by a mechanical transmission. In addition or alternatively ... the wheels are also driven by the electric motor ... A combined hybrid combines characteristics of the two configurations described above. 9, record 3, English, - series%2Dparallel%20hybrid%20vehicle

Le bois est un matériau complexe, tant du point de vue de sa structure interne que de son mode de fabrication. Ses caractéristiques rhéologiques sont fortement liées à son organisation cellulaire(angle des microfibrilles...). L'état de précontraintes du bois dans la grume est le résultat de l'histoire de la croissance de l'arbre(contraintes de support, contraintes de maturation). Ces précontraintes peuvent être à l'origine de nombreux problèmes lors de l'exploitation du matériau(fentes à l'abattage, déformation...). Il est donc important de pouvoir simuler de façon dynamique les interactions entre l'architecture de l'arbre et son état mécanique. 2, record 7, French, - angle%20des%20microfibrilles
