Krack, Malte, Secanell, Marc, Mertiny, Pierre, Carbone, R.
Devices employing the concept of kinetic energy storage date back to ancient times. Pottery wheels and spinning wheels are early examples of systems employing kinetic energy storage in a rotating mass. With the advent of modern machinery, flywheels became commonplace as steam engines and internal...

An experimental study on the strain-rate-dependent compressive and tensile response of an alumina ceramic
Download2022-10-01
Ji, Min, Li, Haoyang, Zheng, Jie, Yang, Shuo, Zaiemyekeh, Zahra, Hogan, James D.
This research article studied the strain-rate-dependent mechanical response of a CeramTec Alotec 98% alumina ceramic under uniaxial compression and indirect tension loadings. Mechanical testing was carried out using a load frame for quasi-static strain rates and a split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar...

Saffar, Yeganeh, Nobes, David S., Sabbagh, Reza
The interaction between a capsule (bubble or droplet) and a flow structure of the continuous phase can affect the properties of the liquids, cells, and particles transferring within the capsule. Channel geometry is a common example of the flow structure influencer. Investigating the effect of...

Development Of A Model-Free Adaptive Steering Control For Autonomous Vehicles Path Tracking Using Cost-Based Gain Adaptation With Integral Action
Download2022-06-01
This paper presents a model-free adaptive steering control algorithm for path tracking of autonomous vehicles. To design steering controllers for autonomous vehicle path tracking, a mathematical model is needed, but it may have high nonlinearity and complexity that increases computation time and...

Sanford, Paul W., Carretero, Juan A.
The forward and inverse displacement problems (FDP, IDP) are solved for a 4-DOF hybrid cable-driven parallel manipulator. This manipulator uses three cables and one extensible rod to manipulate the mobile platform, and shares some kinematic similarities to the well-studied Stewart-Gough...

Vision-based Impedance Control of a 7-DOF Robotic Manipulator for Pick-and-Place Tasks in Grasping Fruits
Download2022-06-01
Chen, Qiguang, Wan, Lucas, Ravichadran, Prabahar, Pan, Ya-Jun, Chang, Young Ki
A vision-based impedance control method is applied to a 7-degree-of-freedom (7-DOF) Franka Emika (FE) Panda robotic manipulator to complete pick-and-place tasks with human-like grasping of fruits. The interfaces between different hardware and the controller are developed using robotic operating...
