Abstract: No doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic has been and is one of the greatest challenges of the mankind in its recent history. Though not unexpectedly, it has come abruptly. The reaction of the educated community has been abrupt, ...

Abstract: A simplified mechanical model of vehicle towing is constructed. The towing procedure is modeled by means of two blocks connected with a linear spring that represents the elastic drawbar. The driver in the towing car controls ...

Abstract: In this paper, nonlinear dynamics of a railway wheelset is investigated during kinematic oscillations. Based on the nonlinear differential equations, the notion of nonlinearity factor is introduced, which expresses the ...

Abstract: In this study, surface error calculations and stability conditions are presented for milling operations in case of slender parts. The dynamic behavior of the flexible beam-type workpiece is modeled by means of finite element ...

Abstract: Parallel turning is an excellent candidate for keeping up with current trends set by manufacturing industry, namely, to increase accuracy and productivity simultaneously. In the field of manufacturing of cylindrical parts, ...

Abstract: Model-based control methods such as inverse dynamics control and computed torque control encounter difficulties if actuator saturation occurs. However, saturation is a common phenomenon in robotics leading to significant ...

Abstract: A simple mechanical model of the skateboard–skater system is analyzed, in which a linear proportional-derivative (PD) controller with delay is included to mimic the effect of human control. The equations of motion of the ...

Abstract: In this paper, a special type of beam element is developed with three nodes and with only translational degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) at each node. This element can be used effectively to build low degree-of-freedom models of ...

Abstract: This paper investigates a three-degrees-of-freedom (DoF) shimmy model of vehicle front wheels with steering system and dependent suspension. The contact models of rigid ground and elastic tire are analyzed from the viewpoint ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the dynamics of machining and chatter stability research since the first stability laws were introduced by Tlusty and Tobias in the 1950s. The paper aims to introduce the fundamentals of dynamic machining ...
