Abstract: When modeling flexible robots and structures for control purposes, most often the assumed modes (AMs) method is used to describe the deformation in combination with a floating reference frame formulation. This typically ...

Abstract: A fundamental part of a digital fluid power (DFP) pump is the actively controlled valves, whereby successful application of these pumps entails a need for control methods. The focus of the current paper is on a flow control ...

Abstract: A conventional simplification of the thermal problem in fluid film lubrication analysis is performed by assuming that the main direction of heat flow is conduction through the film thickness, and thereby neglecting convection. ...

Abstract: Fluid stiction may significantly influence the dynamic behavior when attempting to quickly separate two plates in close contact. The liquid fluid film, filling the gap between the plates, experiences a pressure drop resulting ...
