Abstract: Lightweight flexible arms will most likely constitute the next generation robots. The design key is the adoption of flexible links, rather than rigid links like in today’s industrial robots. ...

Abstract: An infinite-line probe is commonly used to measure unsteady pressure in high-temperature environments while protecting the pressure transducer. In this study, an existing theoretical model is used ...

Abstract: An active engine control scheme for protection against compressor instabilities such as rotating stall and surge is presented. Compressor stability detection is accomplished via a parameter known ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for estimating compressor stall margin and the results of applying the estimation technique to an axial compressor rig. Stall margin estimation is accomplished through ...

Abstract: A stability measure rooted in the unsteady characteristics of the flow field over the compressor rotor has been previously developed. The present work explores the relationship between the ...
