AN INTRODUCTION TO DSmT. FIRST PART
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2011, Vol 56, Issue 2
Abstract
The management and combination of uncertain, imprecise, fuzzy and even paradoxical or highly conflicting sources of information has always been, and still remains today, of primal importance for the development of reliable modern information systems involving artificial reasoning. In this introduction, we present a survey of our recent theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning, known as Dezert-Smarandache Theory (DSmT), developed for dealing with imprecise, uncertain and conflicting sources of information. We focus our presentation on the foundations of DSmT and on its most important rules of combination, rather than on browsing specific applications of DSmT available in literature. Several simple examples are given throughout this presentation to show the efficiency and the generality of this new theory.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE INITIAL JOINT CONFIGURATION ON THE REDUNDANCY RESOLUTION USING SEARCH METHODS
The redundancy problem concerns here a serial planar redundant manipulator with four degrees of freedom. More precisely, the end-effector of this redundant manipulator must achieve the imposed task of following the conto...
TRENDS IN SURGICAL ROBOTICS
Surgical Robotics today is essentially about two families of devices, namely telemanipulators and simulators for mini-invasive (endoscopic) procedures. In both cases, the user-interface, i.e. the “joystick” to be manipul...
NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE QUASISTATIC CONTACT PROBLEM WITH DAMAGE
This paper deals with the numerical analysis of a quasistatic contact problem with friction between an elastic body and a rigid obstacle. The contact is frictional and is modeled with a version of normal compliance condi...
A SPECIAL CLASS OF DRIP MEDIA WITH HYSTERESIS
Since the interaction phenomenon for waves of arbitrary shape and amplitude is a property of the transmitting medium rather than of the particular wave profiles, Seymour and Varley named as DRIP the media that do not rem...
ON THE RESONANCE WAVE INTERACTION PHENOMENON
Resonant wave interaction is a nonlinear process in which energy is transferred between different natural modes of a system by resonance. For a nonlinear system, the motion is not a summation of the linear modes, but con...
