Abstract: An engineering tool is described, enabling a static compliance breakdown of a machine (with fixed or varying geometry) from a modal analysis performed at a quasi-static frequency. The most ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the problem of the application of inverse dynamics control methods to robots with flexible joints and electromechanical actuators. Due to drawbacks of the continuous-time ...

Abstract: A method of solution for laminar channel flow is established using the von Mises transformation followed by the “separation” of the main flow velocity into amplitude and profile functions. The ...

Abstract: After a short survey of the different methods and formulas used to determine the pressure distribution in radial (converging or diverging) flow between nominally parallel discs, the method of ...

Abstract: This paper describes the parameterization of robot excitation trajectories for optimal robot identification based on finite Fourier series. The coefficients of the Fourier series are optimized for ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to develop appropriate techniques to detect and classify the joint backlash of a robot by monitoring its vibration response during normal operating conditions. In this ...
