Abstract: In this paper, a forced response prediction method for the analysis of constrained and unconstrained structures coupled through frictional contacts is presented. This type of frictional contact ...

Abstract: For the accurate control and implementation of a robot in an integrated manufacturing environment using off-line programming, a knowledge of the absolute positioning accuracy of the robot becomes ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for locating 3-D objects having complex and sculptured surfaces. Among many complex shaped objects, dies, molds, gears, turbine blades, forged parts, and aerospace ...

Abstract: 3-D active vision systems that project artificial structured light for coordinate measurements have been adopted in many industrial applications. With advances of electronic projection display ...

Abstract: In this paper, the principle and effectiveness of the control-surface strategy in machining-error compensation for end milling processes are studied. Using this strategy, two new approaches, namely ...

Abstract: In this paper, a precision tracking control scheme for linear discrete time nonminimum-phase systems is proposed. This control scheme consists of a preview filter, a tracking-performance filter, ...

Abstract: In this paper, an elastic-deformation estimator is proposed for real time end-point tracking control of a flexible two-link manipulator. Due to the noncolocated characteristics of the system, the ...

Abstract: Experimental study on the tracking control of a flexible onelink manipulator is reported in this paper. A tracking control scheme is developed based on the system transfer function. In the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a flexible system model for the prediction of cutting forces and the resulting machining errors in the ball-end milling process. Unlike the previously developed rigid system ...
