Elastohydrodynamics of a Worm Gear Contact
The paper is concerned with prediction of elastic contact and elastohydrodynamic film thickness in worm gears. Using the undeformed geometry of the gap between gear teeth in contact a three-dimensional elastic contact simulation technique has been developed for calculation of the true area of elastic contact under load relative to the wheel and worm surfaces. A parallel investigation of elastoh...
متن کاملA locomotive mechanism for a robotic colonoscope
As changing the eating habit to low fiber and high fat diet, the pathology in the colon is growing up annually. Therefore, the colonoscopy is generalized in developed countries. But it requires much time for doctors to acquire a dexterous skill to perform an operation and the procedure is painful to the patient. Therefore, some studies on the development of autonomous colonoscope are carried ou...
متن کاملFunctional colonoscope robot system
Colonoscopy is an important medical procedure for the diagnosis of various diseases, such as cancers in the colon and rectum. However, it requires a lot of time for a doctor to acquire dexterous skills necessary to perform successful colonoscopy. Moreover, for many patients, conventional colonoscopy simply takes long time. Therefore, some studies on the development of autonomous and more conven...
متن کاملSuper Under-Actuated Humanoid Robot Hand with Gear-Rack Mechanism
This paper proposed a design idea of a novel under-actuated finger mechanism, and analyzed its principle and designed the finger mechanism. The finger is designed based on a gear-rack mechanism, spring constraint and particular active middle-segment, which is passively adaptive in grasping objects. A new multi-fingered hand named as TH-3R Hand is designed based on the finger. TH-3R Hand has 5 f...
متن کاملThe Optimal Locomotion of a Self-Propelled Worm Actuated by Two Square Waves
Worm-like locomotion at small scales induced by propagating a series of extensive or contraction waves has exhibited enormous possibilities in reproducing artificial mobile soft robotics. However, the optimal relation between locomotion performance and some important parameters, such as the distance between two adjacent waves, wave width, and body length, is still not clear. To solve this probl...
