Abstract: This article presents the effects of carriage flexibility on the friction force in linear ball guides, which includes hydrodynamic rolling friction, elastic hysteresis friction, slip friction, and drag friction. To this ...

Abstract: This paper presents a quasi-static five degrees-of-freedom model of crossed roller bearings that considers roller roundness deformation. The existing models of rolling element bearing do not account for ball and/or roller ...

Abstract: The high demand of flexible electronics and the miniaturization of electronic components have been increasing very rapidly. Nanotechnology and in particular nanoparticles have become very important for the development of ...

Abstract: Input shaping is widely used in the control of flexible systems due to its effectiveness and ease of implementation. Due to its open-loop nature, it is often overlooked as a control method in systems where parametric ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new artificial neural network (ANN)-based system model that concatenates an optimized artificial neural network (OANN) and a neural network compensator (NNC) in series to capture temporally varying ...

Abstract: Oil-engine lubricated turbochargers (TCs) operate at high temperature and must withstand large temperature gradients that produce severe thermomechanical stresses in the TC mechanical components. Thus, an insight into the ...
