Current failure analysis practices use diagnostic technology developed over the past 100 years of designing and manufacturing electrical and mechanical equipment to identify root cause of equipment failure requiring expertise with the equipment under analysis. If the equipment that failed had telemetry embedded, prognostic algorithms can be used to identify the deterministic behavior in complet...

Steering agricultural machinery during the harvest in fields is a tedious task for drivers. Automated guidance of the machinery will not only reduce driver fatigue but also increase productivity and safety of the harvesting operation. The existing mechanical solutions for row navigation on the sugar beet fields do not provide sufficient accuracy during the harvesting process. The next important...

This paper concerns design and realization of programmable emulator of mechanical loads for motors. The aim of this paper is to build integrated test equipment, which will allow realistic testing of drive parameters and mainly quality of control structures on controlling different kinds of loads. For this purpose create user-friendly software which will allow emulation of physical system in rea...

The problem of controlled excitation of oscillations in a chain of N coupled pendulums is considered. Such a problem may arise when studying different physical and mechanical systems and is also of interest for design of prospective laboratory equipment for control education. The simulation results for the chain of 50 pendulums are given. The multi-pendulum mechatronic setup from 50 computer-co...

In this paper, the research object is the cycling equipment which is a common fitness equipment. The dynamic characteristics of the cycling equipment were optimized in a virtual prototype, and analysis was carried out on its structural mechanical characteristics and dynamic performance, etc. The dynamic characteristics of the cycling equipment were obtained through modal, random response and ha...

the colorado beetle, leptinotarsa decemlineata (say), is the major defoliating and exotic insect pest of potato plants and has caused serious problems in the east azerbaijan and ardabil regions of iran since emerging in the absence of natural native enemies. in the development of a suitable control strategy based on integrated pest management, it is important to recognize control methods that d...
