Abstract: A cabledriven parallel manipulator is an economic way to achieve manipulation over large workspace. However, unavoidable vibration in long cables can dramatically degenerate the positioning performance of manipulators. In ...

Abstract: The study investigated the propagation characteristics of surface-initiated cracks in slewing bearing steel and analyzed the influence of initial crack length and orientation on crack propagation. A cohesive zone model ...

Abstract: Cabledriven parallel manipulator (CDPM) is a good solution to achieving large workspace. However, unavoidable vibrations of long cables can dramatically degrade the positioning performance in large workspace applications. ...

Abstract: Exoskeletons are increasingly being used to treat gait pathologies. Many of these exoskeletons use a foot plate to actuate the foot, altering the effective stiffness of the foot. Stiffness of the biological foot and ankle ...
