Abstract: A novel approach to on-line learning and prediction of time-variant machine tool error maps is proposed. These error maps are measured using a fast calibration device called the laser ball-bar ...

Abstract: The effect of the soft tissue between bone and a preloaded skin surface accelerometer was studied in vivo by comparing its output with the output of an accelerometer connected directly to the ...

Abstract: In order to measure in-vivo bone accelerations, it is necessary to know the mechanical response of the soft tissue covering areas of bony prominence when a load is applied through a rigid ...

Abstract: Vibration analysis techniques used for labyrinth air seals are presented, along with a derivation of the methods used to calculate the dissipation capability of split ring dampers. After defining ...

Abstract: The kinematic behavior of a mechanism may be modeled using a number of different formalisms. In this paper, the description of machine tool errors is examined using screw coordinates. The six ...
