Abstract: An electrohydraulic system, which is widely applied in practice, is a highly nonlinear system with uncertainty. In order to improve the control performance, the nonlinearity and uncertainty should be taken into consideration. ...

Abstract: Counterbalance valves (CBVs) are broadly applied in hydraulic manipulators, which is essential to ensure safe operation while moving a heavy load. They inevitably introduce additional energy consumption and poor dynamic ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional finite element model was developed to investigate thermoelastic instability in multilayered friction discs with finite thickness, considering the deformation modes of the steel core. The model was used ...

Abstract: Uneven distribution of machining-induced residual stresses (MIRS) caused by dynamic cutting conditions and material internal properties has a significant impact on fatigue resistance, stress corrosion resistance, and ...

Abstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a method for determining the structural integrity of civil infrastructure elements as a basis for maintenance and repair protocols. This monitoring depends on collecting structural ...

Abstract: This study aims to develop a new fabrication process to create high-precision patterned shape memory alloy (SMA) bimorph micro-actuators by the e-beam evaporation technique. To examine the effect of the annealing process ...
