Two main challenges in using a pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) actuator are the nonlinearity of system and PAM dynamics. The latter is complicated to characterize. In this paper, Maxwell-slip model used as lumped-parametric quasi-static proposed capture force/length hysteresis PAM. intuitive selection elements interprets unclear, but blended contributing causes very well, which assumed originate from dry friction double helix weaving braided shell, bladder, elasticity bladder and/or...
3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) has been gaining popularity in the past few years. Due to nature of line-by-line printing and slump material deposition each extruded line, printed structures exhibit obvious lines or marks at layer interface, which affects surface finish quality potentially affect bonding strength between layers. This makes it necessary control extrudate formation 3DCP. However, is difficult directly analyse process because shape depends on many parameters. In this paper, a...
The surface finishing and stock removal of complicated geometries is the principal objective for grinding with compliant abrasive tools. To understand achieve optimum material in a tertiary process such as Abrasive Belt Grinding, it essential to look more detail at parameters/variables that affect rate. variables involved belt include grit type belt, speed, contact wheel hardness, serration, force. Changing these will performance process. literature survey on shows certain limited...
The all-electric ship (AES) with DC-grid configuration has demonstrated advantages compared to the traditional AC system and become state-of-the-art for ships electric propulsion in low medium power range during past decade. However, integration different sources, such as fuel cells, batteries diesel gen-sets, increases complexity requires an advanced management (PMS) handle vessel operation achieve optimal control. This paper presents optimized strategy reduce total cost of ownership...
Abstract Although the aspects that affect performance and deterioration of abrasive belt grinding are known, wear prediction belts in robotic arm process is still challenging. Massive coarse grains on surface has a serious impact integrity tool it reduces quality finished products. Conventional status monitoring strategies use special tools result cessation manufacturing production which sometimes takes long time highly dependent human capabilities. The erratic behavior demands machining...
In recent years, the utilization of rotating parts, e.g., bearings and gears, has been continuously supporting manufacturing line to produce a consistent output quality. Due their critical role, breakdown these components might significantly impact production rate. Prognosis, which is an approach that predicts machine failure, attracted significant interest in last few decades. this paper, prognostic approaches are described briefly advanced predictive analytics, namely parsimonious network...
B-spline functions are widely used in many industrial applications such as computer graphic representations, aided design, manufacturing, numerical control, etc. Recently, there exist some demands, e.g. reverse engineering (RE) area, to employ curves for non-trivial cases that include with discontinuous points, cusps or turning points from the sampled data. The most challenging task these is identification of number knots and their respective locations non-uniform space efficient...
