Abstract: Parallel mechanisms are increasingly being used as modular subsystem units in various robots and man-machine interfaces for their superior stiffness, payload-to-weight ratio, and dynamic properties. This leads to series-parallel ...

Abstract: Robots are complex controlled dynamical systems interacting with their environment. Agile robotic systems have been penetrating almost all industrial sectors as the backbone for industrial automation, ranging from heavy ...

Abstract: In this paper we present a novel method for the numerical simulation of flow in a hydrodynamic thrust bearing with floating disk. Floating disks are commonly employed in turbochargers and are situated between the thrust ...
