RISReduction of the End Effector Sensitivity to the Structural Deflections of a Single Flexible Link: Theoretical and Experimental Results
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The fine positioning problem of the gripper of flexible robotic manipulators is addressed in this study. A two-axis cartesian micro-manipulator is implemented to reduce the sensitivity of the ...
Modeling and Control of Backlash in the Drive Mechanism of a Radially Rotating Compliant Beam
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The exclusion of the dynamic characteristics of indirect drives, from the controller design, has often led to a degraded performance in precision servomechanisms. In this study, the adverse ...
Effect of Manganese Dioxide Nanorods on the Thermoelectric Properties of Cement Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Seebeck coefficient of plain cement paste is usually less than 1 μV/°C. To enhance the thermoelectric performance of cement composites, a kind of MnO2 powder was synthesized and used as a thermoelectric component in ...
