Abstract: In wind turbine blade modeling, the coupling between rotor rotational motion and blade vibration has not been thoroughly investigated. The inclusion of the coupling terms in the wind turbine dynamics equations helps us ...

Abstract: We propose a novel hybrid robot with seven degrees-of-freedom (DOF) and variable topology for operation in space. Design specifications of the space robot are presented for the type synthesis of hybrid mechanisms. Based ...

Abstract: In this paper, three lubricants are tested by a fourball tribotester and in a cold rolling process. Our experimental results show that the data from the fourball tests and the cold rolling tests are generally consistent ...
