Abstract: It is well known that the positional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control of a servo mechanism with stiction always leads to a limit cycle. Related to this fact, two basic questions ...

Abstract: When a mechanical system with Coulomb friction is under feedback control, the closed-loop system may asymptotically converge to a point in the equilibrium set or generate nonlinear oscillations ...

Abstract: In control of industrial manipulators, the position from the motor encoder has been the only sensor measurement for axis control. In this case, it is not easy to estimate the end-effector ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the effects of mechanical errors of the cylindrical capcitive sensor (CCS) for active magnetic bearing (AMB) spindles, including the roundness error of a rotor and the ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the response of circumferentially cracked cast iron (CI) pipeline with the cast-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining system by evaluating stresses, relative displacements, and rotations generated by repetitive ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the development of a new measurement device for the realistic assessment of braking capability of landing airplanes for winter runways. The conventional and current practice of runway condition ...
