Abstract: This paper proposes a simple reduced-order model for a general flexure-guided piezoelectrically actuated nanopositioner and employs it to derive the upper limit of achievable bandwidth for a specified travel range. It is ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design and modeling of an active fiveaxis compliant micromanipulator whose tip orientation can be independently controlled by large angles about two axes and the tipposition can be controlled in ...

Abstract: Earlier researchers have demonstrated that the compaction effort and water content, type of soil and mineralogy, void ratio, fabric, and stress history influence the soil-water characteristics curve (SWCC) of fine-grained ...

Abstract: Abstract. Trapping of magnetic microparticles enables them to be used as end-effectors in various microrobotic applications. Parametric excitation is an attractive method to trap such particles, and in such a case, the ...
