Optimal Performance of Variable Stiffness Devices for Structural Control
This paper addresses control of structural vibrations using semi-active actuators that are capable of manipulating stiffness and/or producing variable stiffness. Usually vibration suppression is achieved using damping devices rather than stiffness ones. However, stiffness devices can produce large forces and have significant advantages for shock isolation purposes. In this work we use a passivi...
متن کاملA Stiffness Estimator for Agonistic-Antagonistic Variable-Stiffness-Actuator Devices
Safe Physical Human Robot Interaction, conservation of energy and adaptability are just the main robotic applications that prompted the development of a number of Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSA). Implemented in a variety of ways, they use various technologies, and feature the most diverse mechanical solutions, all of which share a fundamentally unavoidable nonlinear behavior. The control sch...
متن کاملBipedal locomotion using variable stiffness actuation
Robust and energy-efficient bipedal locomotion in robotics is still a challenging topic. In order to address issues in this field, we can take inspiration from nature, by studying human locomotion. The Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) model has shown to be a good model for this purpose. However, the human musculoskeletal system enables us to actively modulate leg stiffness, for example wh...
متن کاملUpgrading Links for Performance*
The performance of a computer network is commonly measured by the maximum minimum time required to move a certain amount of data between any 2 nodes in the network. Due to the advances in technology, certain links in the network may be upgraded, for instance to optical fibre links, so that better performance can be achieved. In this paper, we study the LINK UPGRADE problem for networks. We firs...
متن کاملEstimate the Performance of Catalytic Converter Using Turbulence Induce Devices
In this manuscript, the experimental setup was designed and fabricated for optimizing the parameters of a catalytic converter of INDICA V2 exhaust system. Three turbulence intensify devices, namely Swirl Venturi, Swirl Blades and Swirl Contour, were close-fitted before the catalytic converter. The heating element is embedded in its body and thermocouples are used for knowing the performance at ...
