Precision displacement measurement with a phase grating based on grating imaging is proposed. In this imaging system, a conventional amplitude grating as a scale is replaced by a phase grating. That generates a sinusoidal pattern, which works as an optical scale, with higher amplitude than the conventional imaging system with an amplitude grating. In this paper, analysis using an optical transf...

We present numerical simulations of a flow in a rapidly rotating cylinder subjected to a time-periodic forcing via axial oscillations of the sidewall. When the axial oscillation frequency is less than twice the rotation frequency, inertial waves in the form of shear layers are present. For very fast rotations, these waves approach the form of the characteristics predicted from the linearized in...

In this work we consider an industrial maintenance process control problem using cellular automata approach. The problem consists on finding an optimal control for the assignment and the displacement of agents in a spatial area to maintain the equipments in good working state. The approach by cellular automata is based on: an operating statistics for determining the attributes of equipments and...

BACKGROUND Robotic needle insertion in biological tissues has been known as one the most applicable procedures in sampling, robotic injection and different medical therapies and operations. OBJECTIVE In this paper, we would like to investigate the effects of angular velocity in soft tissue insertion procedure by considering force-displacement diagram. Non-homogenous camel liver can be exploit...

Dispersion relation of antiplane surface acoustic waves (SAWs) propagating in elastic half-space coated with an anisotropic laminate was determined explicitly by means of Stroh’s formalism within the subsonic range, where there is no energy leakage into the substrate. During the procedure, the governing dynamic equation in each anisotropic layer and the displacement–traction continuity at inter...

Thermal energy agitates all matter, and its competition with ordering tendencies is a fundamental organizing principle in the physical world; this observation suggests that an effective temperature might emerge when external energy input enhances agitation. However, despite the repeated proposal of this concept based on kinetics for various nonequilibrium systems, the value of an effective temp...

The grand piano action has been developped empirically and provides a remarkably accurate control of the hammer velocity and the impact time [1]. The numerical simulation of the action is necessary to improve numerical keyboards and to better understand haptic controllability. Following previous efforts [2, 3], we propose a simulation based on an explicit model and a solver of non-smooth dynami...
