Monoidal width was recently introduced by the authors as a measure of complexity decomposing morphisms in monoidal categories. We have shown that category cospans graphs, and its variants can be used to capture tree width, path branch width. In this paper we study matrices, an extension different open where connectivity information is handled with matrix algebra graphs are composed along edges ...

A robust wheel slip controller for electric vehicles is introduced. The proposed wheel slip controller exploits the dynamics of electric traction drives and conventional hydraulic brakes for achieving maximum energy efficiency and driving safety. Due to the control of single wheel traction motors in combination with a hydraulic braking system, it can be shown, that energy recuperation and vehic...

In this study, it is experimentally investigated that the surface generation process in the cross axis grinding method with small diameter grinding wheel. In this grinding method, workpiece surface speed and sum of both wheel working surface speed and wheel feed rate crossed each other. Therefore, it is the largest characteristic that the cross angle, which is defined as the angle between the w...

Abstract The paper presents a structure diagram of slot trencher when planting garden, consisting frame on which working sections, bevel gear reducer and support wheel stands are fixed. On the section there is shaft with body - disk cutter. It made in form disc teeth, one cutting edge each tooth straight other parabolic. parabolic elements fixed knives two parts. A along periphery; guide entire...

In this paper, an optimal controller for the longitudinal channel of an autonomous helicopter model is designed by blending together two artificial intelligence techniques, genetic algorithms and fuzzy control. An evaluation index that captures the complex, constrained, multiple objective character of the problem was built based on several design requirements expressed in terms of the time resp...

This paper outlines the historical development of the wheel and rail profiles currently used on railway vehicles. It also presents the key damage mechanisms involved in wheel-rail contact and summarises the methods that have recently been developed by railway engineers to predict the level of wheel and rail damage from these mechanisms. Tools for predicting the key damage modes of wear and roll...

The authors investigated the effect of the opioid antagonist naloxone on wheel-running behavior in Balb/c mice. Naloxone delayed the acquisition of wheel-running behavior, but did not reduce the expression of this behavior once acquired. Delayed acquisition was not likely a result of reduced locomotor activity, as naloxone-treated mice did not exhibit reduced wheel running after the behavior wa...

A Rover’s wheel performance is one of the limiting factors in its ability to successfully traverse other planets. More research focusing on wheel materials, design, and optimized tread patterns needs to be conducted so that a rover can reach more of its potential. A wheel test bed is being fabricated to test new wheel designs and to collect data which will be used to map the relationship betwee...

This paper illustrates the use of the envelope theorem for the geometric design of a cycloidal speed reducer. Specifically, it proposes two designs for a mathematical model with tooth differences: a pin wheel epitrochoid meshing which is a cycloidal wheel (internal rotor) profile equidistant to an epitrochoid (or extended epicycloid) curve and a cycloida! wheel is generated by a pin wheel (exte...
