Abstract: In this paper, the parameter identification and control problem are investigated for a mechanical servo system with LuGre friction. First of all, an intelligent glowworm swarm optimization (GSO) algorithm is developed to ...

Abstract: In this paper, a multiscale approach has been developed for investigating the ratedependent viscoplastic behavior of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) with thermal residual stress effect. The finitevolume direct averaging ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel underactuated (UA) finger with first coupled and secondly selfadaptive (COSA) grasping mode. COSA fingers can adaptively grasp objects with different sizes and shapes while its motions during ...

Abstract: With Wanzhou Yangtze River Bridge as an engineering example, FEM is applied to simulate the whole bridge construction process to optimize the truss member assembling sequences and determine the critical member bars that ...

Abstract: Wave energy converters (WECs) are built to extract wave energy. However, this kind of device is still expensive for commercial utilization. To cut down the cost of WECs by sharing the construction cost with breakwaters, ...

Abstract: With a new perspective, this paper integrates the concept of automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) in production and distribution with highthroughput screening (HTS) system and strikes out a new path in designing ...

Abstract: The optimization of the assistive force of a soft exosuit is crucial to the assistive effect. In this paper, an inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based optimization controller was designed to provide effective hip extension ...
