Abstract: The paper presents an experimental study on the relationship between process parameters and residual stresses in cylindrical grinding. In particular, the influence of the depth of cut (a) and ...

Abstract: The sextic approach was used to investigate the asymptotic field of a bimaterial interface crack in the entire supersonic regime and extended to include the combination of isotropic and homogeneous ...

Abstract: The topology optimization of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) excited by magnetic forces is an important issue to minimize the noise and vibration level. In this paper, the magnetic force is ...

Abstract: An exponentially stable variable structure controller is presented for regulation of the angular displacement of a one-link flexible robot arm, while simultaneously stabilizing vibration transient ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to solve the problem of designing a shaving cutter for plunge shaving a topologically modified involute pinion. Application of topologically modified pinion allows ...

Abstract: A novel intelligent control architecture has been developed to regulate cutting forces during single-point turning operations. A self-adapting Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) accounts for parameter ...

Abstract: A set of procedures was presented for characterizing static and dynamic response of tensegrity modules. The procedures were applied to two tensegrity modules: a six-bar spherical module and a ...

Abstract: The problem of quasi-static crack propagation in a three-point bend specimen containing an initial crack that is parallel to and offset from a bimaterial interface is considered. An approximate ...

Abstract: A sensitivity analysis is presented for a novel tuned vibration absorber. The active tuning of the absorber is achieved using partial state feedback with a controlled time delay. The final ...

Abstract: A parametric model for foam-like materials is proposed and its correlation with experimental results is analyzed. The class of foam-like materials is assumed to be described by an isotropic ...
