Reinforcement learning control of a biomechanical model of the upper extremity

Below, we first provide details on our biomechanical model. After discussing our general reinforcement learning approach, we focus on the individual components of our method, namely states, actions, scaling factors, rewards, and an adaptive target-selection mechanism. We also provide details on the implementation of our algorithm. Finally, we discuss the methods used for evaluation. Biomechanical […]

A numerical analysis of inclination and rectification of ramp-bridge piers adjacent to surcharge load in soft clay area

Bridge inclination by the surcharge load and rectification by the unloading In the calculation, the inclination of the super and lower structures of the bridge under the action of the surcharge load was first analyzed to evaluate whether the pile foundation in the underground soil was damaged, and which was used to provide a reference […]
