Reliability assessment of reciprocating equipment piston rod leads to nonlinear elastic-plastic deformation analysis of rod with initial imperfection under axial dynamic load. In this paper a new and effective model and analytical simulation method are presented to evaluate dynamic deformation and elastic-plastic stress of reciprocating machine piston rod. This new method has capability to acco...

During robotic assembly of flexible payloads, gravity and inertial forces acting on these payloads may induce both static shape deformation and vibration of the thin-walled payloads. Static deformations, which arise from deformation of the part due to its own weight under the influence of gravity, lead to misalignment of mating points of the part. Unwanted vibrations, arising from inertial forc...

To reduce the thickness of reinforced concrete foundation members used in construction and structural applications, a previous study developed tested strut–tie retrofit system installed foundations. This proposes optimum details steel-tie for with reduced via finite element simulation-based load-bearing capacity assessment. The parameters (structural steel type, plate thickness, number strut fr...

in this study, a novel variable impedance control for a lower-limb rehabilitation robotic system using voltage control strategy is presented. the majority of existing control approaches are based on control torque strategy, which require the knowledge of robot dynamics as well as dynamic of patients. this requires the controller to overcome complex problems such as uncertainties and nonlinearit...

In this article it is shown how the end effector position of a single flexible-link robot can be directly controlled by the angular position of its joint, so that, trajectory tracking in the end effector of the robot is possible by properly designing a reference trajectory for the joint angle. In order to ensure trajectory tracking of the angular position of the robot joint, a Sliding Modes Con...

In the present study, the transient stress distribution caused by a break in the fibers of an adhesive bonding is investigated. Transient stress is a dynamic response of the system to any discontinuity in the fibers from detachment time till their equilibrium state (or steady state). To derive the governing dynamic equilibrium equations shear lag model is used. Here, it is assumed that the tens...

This paper presents an artificial neural networks application for a flexible process modeling. A flexible planar single-link manipulator robot is considered. The dynamic behavior of this process is described using Lagrange equations and finite elements method. The artificial neural networks are all variations on the parallel distributed processing (PDP) idea. The architecture of each network is...

This paper presents a methodology to analyze dynamics of flexible space robot using bond graph. In case of space robots the position and orientation of the satellite main body may change when the manipulator moves. Motion of the space robots also induces vibrating motions in structurally flexible manipulators. Researchers working on terrestrial flexible robot arms principally have focused on is...
