The carriage of the test linear bearing is driven through a coupling, support bearings, a sliding screw, sliding guides and a pusher from a motor.

To measure the vibration of the test linear bearing, an accelerometer was attached to the carriage. The measurement points, mounting positions of the accelerometer, were A, B, C and D on the carriage as shown in Figure 3.

The displacement in the reference coordinate system is given by Tmt= Am'AI~2~3~4~5\" ~ (11) where A i is the transformation matrix in the reference coordinate system and is described by the Rodrigues equation and To is the transformation at the machine zero position. 2.2.1. Rotation around an arbitrary axis. If the rotational axes are not perpendicular to each other (although they should be), then there exists rotation around an arbitrary axis in the space; the dot product of two orthogonal axes is not zero [for example, cos(90) = 0, but cos(89.99) ~ 0]. Though the variation is small, we cannot neglect it because small variations in angular error gives a large tool tip deviation from the desired position depending on the length of tool and the spindle pivot distance. Let us now think about three-dimensional rotations of a point P around a line with a direction cosine of l, m and n. P* is the new position of P after rotation O. The rotation matrix is given by the Rodrigues equation [7, 8]: R = I F v 0 + c 0 lmvO-nsO lnv0+ms0 0 ImvO+nsO m2v0+c0 mnvO- /sO 0 lnv0-ms0 mnvO +/sO n2v0 + cO 0 0 0 0 1 (12) where v\u00ae is 1 - cosO, sO is sin\u00ae and cO is cos\u00ae. p . = [ R 0 0 0 (I-R)P~].p (13) Where P* and P are the final and initial points, respectively, and I is the identity matrix. P~ is the point where the axis of rotation passes. 2.2.1.1. Revolute joint. If the joint is revolute then we need five parameters to describe the rotation completely: two for the direction cosine, two for rotation center offsets, one for the rotation angle (\u00ae). 2.2.1.2. Prismatic joint. For the prismatic joint, we need three independent parameters to describe it completely. Here the displacement is d and the direction cosine is [1, m, n] from which two are required. The transformation is given by Positioning accuracy improvement in five-axis milling by post processing 229 0 0 1 O d . m 0 1 (14) 0 0 Now the final transformation is given by Ttot = Am'A t'A2\"A3\"Aa'As'To (15) To is the transformation at the zero position and Ai is the transformation based on the Rodrigues equation. 2.2.2. Error model offive-axis machine tools. Joint axes orientations are varied with the degree of misalignment. If we find the value of l and n in the reference coordinate system then m is given by m = l ~ 1 2 - n 2 (16) The location of the actual joint varies with the location of the plane. In the modeling of the zero position, the machine zero position and the coordinate system are defined before defining the unit vector of each axis. The unit vector from Fig. 4. is defined as follows (Table 2): [l,m,n] are the direction cosines of individual axis in the reference coordinate system. The rows 0-4 are for the five axes of the machine. The above model is for the ideal case. According to Table 2, the X-axis should pass through the point Po [Po~, Poy, Poz] with a direction cosine [1,0,0]. If Pot is the real point [Po#:Por] through which the X-axis passes then aPo = Oi + (Pyor-eyo) j + (Pzor-Pzo)k (17) where APoy=(Py:Poy) and APo~--(Po=--Poz) are small deviations in the position of the origin in the base Y- and Z-directions, respectively. The actual direction cosine of joint one is given by Uo = [ ~l =m~-n~,mo, no I (18) Extending the idea to all joints results in Table 3 where the unknown direction and position values can be found by the calibration process. 230 R. Md. Mahbubur et al. Table 3 describes the real machine geometry with either arbitrary rotation or a displacement axis. [P,, p , Pz] r is the transformation at the zero position. [P~, Pyr, Pzr] 7 is the actual location (offsets) of the axis. If we know the direction cosine of the actual axis and the offsets we can find the tool tip and the orientation of the tool axis vector for a given displacement of joints using Equation (13) and Equation (14). We shall try to find the direction cosine of Table 3 by measuring the real machine and find the tool tip in the base coordinate system.

The effect of a force on the object to which it is applied depends on how the force is applied and how the ob ject is supported. For example, when pulled, an open door will swing about the edge along which it is hinged to the door frame (Figure 3.1). What causes the door to swing is the torque gen erated by the applied force about an axis that passes through the hinges of the door. If one stands on the free-end of a div ing board, the board will bend (Figure 3.2). What bends the board is the moment of the body weight about the fixed end of the board. In general, torque is associated with the rotational and twisting actions of applied forces, while moment is related to their bending effect. However, the mathematical definition of moment and torque is the same. Therefore, it is sufficient to use moment to discuss the common properties of moment and torque vectors. 3.2 Magnitude of Moment The magnitude of the moment of a force about a point is equal to the magnitude of the force times the length of the shortest dis tance between the point and the line of action of the force, which is known as the lever or moment arm. Consider a person on an exercise apparatus who is holding a handle that is attached to a cable (Figure 3.3). The cable is wrapped around a pulley and attached to a weight pan. The weight in the weight pan stretches the cable and produces a tensile force F in the cable. This force is transmitted to the person's hand through the handle. Assume that the magnitude of the moment of force F about point 0 at the elbow joint is to be determined. To determine the shortest distance between 0 and the line of action of the force, extend the line of action of F and drop a line from 0 that cuts the line of action of F at right angles. If the point of intersection of the two lines is R, then the distance d between 0 and R is the lever arm, and the magnitude of the moment M of force F about point o is: M=dF (3.1) 3.3 Direction of Moment The moment of a force about a point acts in a direction perpen dicular to the plane upon which the point and the force lie. For example, in Figure 3.4, point 0 and the line of action of force F lie on plane A. The line of action of moment M of force F about point o is perpendicular to plane A. The direction and sense of the mo ment vector along its line of action can be determined using the Moment and Torque 31 32 Fundamentals of Biomechanics right-hand-rule. As illustrated in Figure 3.5, when the fingers of the right hand curl in the direction that the applied force tends to rotate the body about point 0, the right hand thumb points in the direction of the moment vector. More specifically, extend the right hand with the thumb at a right angle to the rest of the fingers, position the finger tips in the direction of the applied force, and position the hand so that the point about which the moment is to be determined faces toward the palm. The tip of the thumb points in the direction of the moment vector. The line of action and direction of the moment vector can also be explained using a wrench and a right-treaded bolt (Figure 3.6). When a force is applied on the handle of the wrench, a torque is generated that rotates the wrench. The line of action of this torque coincides with the centerline of the bolt. Owing to the torque, the bolt will either advance into or retract from the board depending on how the force is applied. As in Figure 3.6, if the force causes a clockwise rotation, then the direction of torque is \"into\" the board and the bolt will advance into the board. If the force causes a counterclockwise rotation, then the direction of torque is \"out of\" the board and the bolt will retract from the board. In Figure 3.7, if point \u00b0 and force F lie on the surface of the page, then the line of action of moment M is perpendicular to the page. If you pin the otherwise unencumbered page at point 0, F will rotate the page in the counterclockwise direction. Us ing the right-hand-rule, that corresponds to the direction away from the page. To refer to the direction of the moments of copla nar force systems, it may be sufficient to say that a particular moment is either clockwise (cw) or counterclockwise (ccw). 3.4 Dimension and Units of Moment By definition, moment is equal to the product of applied force and the length of the moment arm. Therefore, the dimension of moment is equal to the dimension of force (ML/T2) times the dimension of length (L): [MOMENT] = [FORCE] [MOMENT ARM] = ~; L = ~;2 The units of moment in different systems are listed in Table 3.1. 3.5 Some Fine Points About the Moment Vector \u2022 The moment of a force is invariant under the operation of slid ing the force vector along its line of action, which is illustrated in Figure 3.8. For all cases illustrated, the moment of force about point 0 is: M=dF (ccw) where length d is always the shortest distance between point 0 and the line of action of F . Again for all three cases shown in Figure 3.8, the forces generate a counterclockwise moment. \u2022 Let F 1 and F 2 shown in Figure 3.9 be two forces with equal magnitude (Fl = F2 = F) and the same line of action, but acting in opposite directions. The moment Ml of force F 1 and the mo ment M2 of force F 2 about point 0 have an equal magnitude (Ml = M2 = M=dF), but opposite directions (Ml = -M2). \u2022 The magnitude of the moment of an applied force increases with an increase in the length of the moment arm. That is, the greater the distance the point about which the moment is to be calculated from the line of action of the force vector, the higher the magnitude of the corresponding moment vector. \u2022 The moment of a force about a point that lies on the line of action of the force is zero, because the length of the moment arm is zero (Figure 3.10). \u2022 A force applied to a body may tend to rotate or bend the body in one direction with respect to one point and in the opposite direction with respect to another point in the same plane. \u2022 The principles of resolution of forces into their components along appropriate directions can be utilized to simplify the cal culation of moments. For example, in Figure 3.11, the applied force F is resolved into its components Ex and F y along the x and y directions, such that: Fx = F cosO Fy = F sinO Since point 0 lies on the line of action of F x' the moment arm of F x relative to point 0 is zero. Therefore, the moment of F x about point 0 is zero. On the other hand, r is the length of the moment arm for force F relative to point O. Therefore, the moment of force F y about point 0 is: M = r F y = r F sin 0 (cw) Note that this is also the moment dF generated by the resultant force vector F about point 0, because d = r sinO. Moment and Torque 33 34 Fundamentals of Biomechanics 3.6 The Net or Resultant Moment When there is more than one force applied on a body, the net or resultant moment can be calculated by considering the vector sum of the moments of all forces. For example, consider the coplanar three-force system shown in Figure 3.12. Let d1, d2, and d3 be the moment arms of F l' F 2' and L relative to point O. These forces produce moments M1, M2, and M:3 about point 0, which can be calculated as follows: M1 = d1 F1 M2 = d2 F2 M3 = d3 F3 (cw) (cw) (ccw) The net moment Mnet generated on the body due to forces F l' F 2' and L about point 0 is equal to the vector sum of the mo ments of all forces about the same point: (3.2) A practical way of determining the magnitude and direction of the net moment for coplanar force systems will be discussed next. Note that for the case illustrated in Figure 3.12, the individual moments are either clockwise or counterclockwise. Therefore, the resultant moment must be either clockwise or counterclock wise. Choose or guess the direction of the resultant moment. For example, if we assume that the resultant moment vector is clock wise, then the clockwise moments M1 and M2 are positive and the counterclockwise moment M:3 is negative. The magnitude of the net moment can now be determined by simply adding the magnitudes of the positive moments and subtracting the negatives: (3.3) Depending on the numerical values of M}, M2, and M3, this equation will give a positive, negative, or zero value for the net moment. If the computed value is positive, then it is actually the magnitude of the net moment and the chosen direction for the net moment was correct (in this case, clockwise). If the value calculated is negative, then the chosen direction for the net mo ment was wrong, but can readily be corrected. If the chosen direction was clockwise, a negative value will indicate that the correct direction for the net moment is counterclockwise. (Note that magnitudes of vector quantities are scalar quantities that are always positive.) Once the correct direction for the net moment is indicated, the negative sign in front of the value calculated can be eliminated. The third possibility is that the value calculated from Eq. (3.3) may be zero. If the net moment is equal to zero, then the body is said to be in rotational equilibrium. This case will be discussed in detail in the following chapter. Example 3.1 Figure 3.13 illustrates a person preparing to dive into a pool. The horizontal diving board has a uniform thickness, mounted to the ground at 0, has a mass of 120 kg, and is e = 4 m in length. The person has a mass of 90 kg and stands at B which is the free-end of the board. Point A indicates the location of the center of gravity of the board. Point A is equidistant from points o and B. Determine the moments generated about point 0 by the weights of the person and the board. Calculate the net moment about point O. Solution: Let mi and m2 be the masses and WI and W2 be the weights of the person and diving board, respectively. WI and W2 can be calculated because the masses of the person and the board are given: WI = mi g = (90 kg)(9.8 m/s2) = 882 N W2 = m2 g = (120 kg)(9.8 m/s2) = 1176 N The person is standing at B. Therefore, the weight WI of the person is applied on the board at B. The mass of the diving board produces a force system distributed over the entire length of the board. The resultant of this distributed force system is equal to the weight W2 of the board. For practical purposes and since the board has a uniform thickness, we can assume that the weight of the board is a concentrated force acting at A, which is the center of gravity of the board. As shown in Figure 3.14, weights WI and W2 act vertically down ward or in the direction of gravitational acceleration. The diving board is horizontal. Therefore, the distance between 0 and B (t') is the length of the moment arm for WI and the distance be tween 0 and A (\u00a312) is the length of the moment arm for W2 \u2022 Therefore, moments MI and M2 due to WI and W2 about point o are: MI = e WI = (4 m)(882 N) = 3528 N-m (cw) e M2 = 2: W2 = (2 m)(1176 N) = 2352 N-m (cw) Since both moments have a clockwise direction, the net moment must have a clockwise direction as well. The magnitude of the net moment about point 0 is: Mnet = MI + M2 = 5880 N-m (cw) Moment and Torque 35 36 Fundamentals of Biomechanics (a) Example 3.2 As illustrated in Figure 3.1Sa, consider an athlete 1 wearing a weight boot, and from a sitting position, doing lower leg flexion/ extension exercises to strengthen quadricep muscles. The weight of the athlete's lower leg is WI = 50 N and the weight of the boot is W2 = 100 N. As measured from the knee joint at 0, the center of gravity (A) of the lower leg is located at a distance b a (b) f----I 0 A B 1 W2 2 ... 3 4 Figure 3.16 Forces and moment arms when the lower leg makes an angle () with the horizontal.

Determine the net moment generated about the knee joint when the lower leg is extended horizontally (position 1), and when the lower leg makes an angle of 30\u00b0 (position 2),60\u00b0 (position 3), and 90\u00b0 (position 4) with the horizontal (Figure 3.1Sb). Solution: At position 1, the lower leg is extended horizontally and the long axis of the leg is perpendicular to the lines of action of WI and W2\u2022 Therefore, a and b are the lengths of the moment arms for WI and W2, respectively. Both WI and W2 apply clock wise moments about the knee joint. The net moment Mo about the knee joint when the lower leg is at position 1 is: Mo= aWI+ bW2 = (0.20)(50) + (0.50)(100) = 60N-m (cw) Therefore, the net moment about 0 is: Mo = dl WI + d2 W2 = a cos () WI + b cos () W2 = (aWl + bW2) cos () The term in the parentheses has already been calculated as 60 N-m. Therefore, we can write: Mo = 60 cos () For position 1: () = 0\u00b0 Mo =60N-m (cw) For position 2: () = 30\u00b0 Mo=S2N-m (cw) For position 3: () = 60\u00b0 Mo = 30N-m (cw) For position 4: () = 90\u00b0 Mo=O (cw) In Figure 3.17, the moment generated about the knee jOint is plotted as a function of angle (). Moment and Torque 37 Example 3.3 Figure 3.18a illustrates an athlete doing shoulder muscle strengthening exercises by lowering and raising a barbell (a) with straight arms. The position of the arms when they make an angle 0 with the vertical is simplified in Figure 3.18b. 0 represents the shoulder joint, A is the center of gravity of one arm, and B is a point of intersection of the centerline of the barbell and the extension of line OA. The distance between 0 and A is a = 24 cm and the distance between 0 and B is b = 60 cm. Each arm arm weighs WI = 50 N and the total weight of the barbell is W2 = 300N. Determine the net moment due to WI and W2 about the shoul der joint as a function of 0, which is the angle the arm makes with the vertical. Calculate the moments for 0 = 0\u00b0, 15\u00b0, 30\u00b0 , 45\u00b0 , and 60\u00b0. Solution: To calculate the moments generated about the shoul der joint by WI and W 2' we need to determine the moment arms dl and d2 of forces WI and W2 relative to O. From the geometry of the problem (Figure 3.18b), the lengths of the moment arms are: dl = a sinO d2 = b sinO Since the athlete is using both arms, the total weight of the bar bell is assumed to be shared equally by each arm. Also note that relative to the shoulder joint, both the weight of the arm and the weight of the barbell are trying to rotate the arm in the coun terclockwise direction. Moments MI and M2 due to W1 and W2 about point 0 are: Ml = dl WI = a WI sin 0 = (0.24)(50) sin 0 = 12 sin 0 W2 W2. (300) . . M2 = d2T = bT SinO = (0.60) 2 SinO = 90 SinO Since both moments are counterclockwise, the net moment must be counterclockwise as well. Therefore, the net moment Mo generated about the shoulder joint is: Mo = MI + M2 = 12 sinO + 90 sinO = 102 sinO N-m (ccw) To determine the magnitude of the moment about 0, for 0 = 0\u00b0, 15\u00b0, 30\u00b0, 45\u00b0, and 60\u00b0, all we need to do is evaluate the sines and carry out the multiplications. The results are provided in Table 3.2. (b) I\" Figure 3.18 An exercise to strengthen the shoulder muscles, and a simple model of the arm. b 38 Fundamentals of Biomechanics Example 3.4 Consider the total hip joint prosthesis shown in Figure 3.19. The geometric parameters of the prosthesis are such that \u00a31 = 50 mm, \u00a32 = 100 mm, (h = 45\u00b0, and fh = 90\u00b0. Assume that, when standing symmetrically on both feet, a joint reaction force of F = 400 N is acting at the femoral head due to the body weight of the patient. For the sake of illustration, consider three different lines of action for the applied force, which are shown in Figure 3.20. Determine the moments generated about points Band C on the prosthesis for all cases shown. Solution: For each case shown in Figure 3.20, the line of action of the joint reaction force is different, and therefore the lengths of the moment arms are different. From the geometry of the problem in Figure 3.20a, we can see that the moment arm of force F about points Band C are the same: d1 = \u00a31 cos(h = (50)(cos45\u00b0) = 35 mm Therefore, the moments generated about points Band Care: MB = Me = d1 F = (0.035)(400) = 14 N-m (cw) For the case shown in Figure 3.20b, point B lies on the line of action of the joint reaction force. Therefore, the length of the moment arm for point B is zero, and: MB =0 For the same case, the length of the moment arm and the moment about point Care: d2 = \u00a32 costh = (100)(cos45\u00b0) = 71 mm Me = d2 F = (0.071)(400) = 28 N-m (ccw) For the case shown in Figure 3.20c, the moment arms relative to Band Care: d3 = \u00a31 sin(h = (50)(sin45\u00b0) = 35 mm d4 = d3 + \u00a32 = (35) + (100) = 135 mm Therefore, the moments generated about points Band Care: MB = d3 F = (0.035)(400) = 14 N-m Me = d4 F = (0.135)(400) = 54 N-m (ccw) (ccw) 3.7 The Couple and Couple-Moment A special arrangement of forces that is of importance is called couple, which is formed by two parallel forces with equal mag nitude and opposite directions. On a rigid body, the couple has a pure rotational effect. The rotational effect of a couple is quan tified with couple-moment. Consider the forces shown in Figure 3.21, which are applied at A and B. Note that the net moment about point A is M = d F (cw), which is due to the force applied at B. The net moment about point B is also M=dF (cw), which is due to the force applied at A. Consider point C. The distance between C and B is b, arts! therefore, the distance between C and A is d - b. The net moment about C is equal to the sum of the clockwise moments of forces applied at A and B with moment arms d - band b. Therefore: M=(d-b)F+bF =dF (cw) It can be concluded without further proof that the couple has the same moment about every point in space. If F is the magni tude of the forces forming the couple and d is the perpendicular distance between the lines of actions of the forces, then the mag nitude of the couple-moment is: (3.4) The direction of the couple-moment can be determined by the right-hand-rule. 3.8 Translation of Forces The overall effect of a pair of forces applied on a rigid body is zero if the forces have an equal magnitude and the same line of action, but are acting in opposite directions. Keeping this in mind, consider the force with magnitude F applied at point PI in Figure 3.22a. As illustrated in Figure 3.22b, this force may be translated to point P2 by placing a pair of forces at P2 with equal magnitude (F), having the same line of action, but acting in op posite directions. Note that the original force at PI and the force at P2 that is acting in a direction opposite to that of the original force form a couple. This couple produces a counterclockwise moment with magnitude M = d F , where d is the shortest dis tance between the lines of action of forces at PI and P2. Therefore, as illustrated in Figure 3.22c, the couple can be replaced by the couple-moment. Provided that the original force was applied to a rigid body, the one-force system in Figure 3.22a, the three-force system in Figure 3.22b, and the one-force and one couple-moment system in Figure 3.22c are mechanically equivalent. 40 Fundamentals of Biomechanics y Ty 1. o ~~-------+------x Figure 3.24 The moment about 0 isM=r.. xF . 3.9 Moment as a Vector Product We have been applying the scalar method of determining the moment of a force about a point. The scalar method is satis factory to analyze relatively simple coplanar force systems and systems in which the perpendicular distance between the point and the line of action of the applied force are easy to calculate. The analysis of more complex problems can be simplified by utilizing additional mathematical tools. The concept of the vector (cross) product of two vectors was in troduced in Appendix B and will be reviewed here. Consider vectors A and Ji, shown in Figure 3.23. The cross product of A and B is equal to a third vector, c: C=AxB - - - (3.5) The product vector C has the following properties: \u2022 The magnitude of C is equal to the product of the magnitude of A, the magnitude of Ji, and sin (), where () is the smaller angle between A and ll. C = A B sin() (3.6) \u2022 The line of action of C is perpendicular to the plane formed by vectors A and B. \u2022 The direction and sense of C obeys the right-hand-rule. The principle of vector or cross product can be applied to de termine the moments of forces. The moment of a force about a point is defined as the vector product of the position and force vectors. The position vector of a point P with respect to another point 0 is defined by an arrow drawn from point 0 to point P. To help understand the definition of moment as a vector prod uct, consider Figure 3.24. Force F acts in the xy-plane and has a point of application at P. Force F can be expressed in terms of its components Fx and Fy along the x and y directions: F = Fx f + Fy j (3.7) The position vector of point P with respect to point 0 is repre sented by vector r.., which can be written in terms of its compo nents: (3.8) The components r x and r y of the position vector are simply the x and y coordinates of point P as measured from point O. The moment of force F about point 0 is equal to the vector product of the position vector r.. and force vector F: M=r x F - - - (3.9) Using Eqs. (3.7) and (3.8), Eq. (3.9) can alternatively be written as: M = (rx i + ry j) x (Fx i + Fy j) - - = rxFx (f x D + rxFy (f x j) (3.10) +ryFx (1 x D + ryFy (1 x D Recall that f x f = j x j = 0 since the angle that a unit vector makes with itself is zero, and sin 00 = O. f x j =!s. because the angle between the positive x axis and the poSitive y axis is 900 (sin 900 = 1). On the other hand, j xf = -!s.. For the la,st two cases, the product is either in the posItive z (counterclockwise or out of the page) or negative z (clockwise or into the page) direction. z and unit vector !s. designate the direction perpendicular to the xy-plane (Figure 3.25). Now, Eq. (3.10) can be simplified as: (3.11) To show that the definition of moment as the vector product of the position and force vectors is consistent with the scalar method of finding the moment, consider the simple case illus trated in Figure 3.26. The force vector F is acting in the positive y direction and its line of action is d distance away from point O. Applying the scalar method, the moment about a is: (ccw) (3.12) The force vector is acting in the positive y direction. Therefore: (3.13) If b is the y coordinate of the point of application of the force, then the position vector of point Pis: r=df+ b1 Therefore, the moment of F about point a is: M= r xF - - - = (d f + b D x (F D =dF(f x D+bF(1 x D = d F k (3.14) (3.15) Equations (3.12) and (3.15) carry exactly the same information, in two different ways. Furthermore, the y coordinate (b) of point P does not appear in the solution. This is consistent with the defi nition of the moment, which is the vector product of the position vector of any point on the line of action of the force and the force itself. In Figure 3.26, if C is the point of intersection of the line of action of force F and the x axis, then the position vector r' of point C with respect to a is: r' = d i - - (3.16) 42 Fundamentals of Biomechanics Therefore, fue moment of F about point 0 can alternatively be determined as: M=r.'F = (d D x (F D =dFk (3.17) For any two-dimensional problem composed of a system of coplanar forces in the xy-plane, the resultant moment vector has only one component. The resultant moment vector has a di rection perpendicular to the xy-plane, acting in the positive or negative z direction. The method we have outlined to study coplanar force systems using the concept of the vector (cross) product can easily be ex panded to analyze three-dimensional situations. In general, the force vector F and the position vector r. of a point on the line of action of F about a point 0 would have up to three components. With respect to the Cartesian coordinate frame: F = Fxi..+Fy1.+Fz1\u00a3 r. = rx i.. + ry 1. + rz 1\u00a3 The moment of F about point 0 can be determined as: M= r x F - - - = (rx i.. + ry j + rz!f) x (Fx i.. + Fy j + Fz 1\u00a3) - - = (ryFz - rzFy) i.. + (rzFx - rxFz) j + (rxFy - ryFx) 1\u00a3 (3.18) (3.19) (3.20) The moment vector can be expressed in terms of its components along the x, y, and z directions: (3.21) By comparing Eqs. (3.20) and (3.21), we can conclude that:" ] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0003126_j.mechmachtheory.2006.10.004-Figure1-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0003126_j.mechmachtheory.2006.10.004-Figure1-1.png", "caption": "Fig. 1.

A discussion on the manipulator\u2019s inverse displacement solution and Jacobian formulation will then follow. This mechanism, shown schematically in Fig. 1, consists of three identical kinematic chains. Each chain begins with an actuated prismatic joint attached to the base platform which may be inclined by angle c from the base platform. Note in Fig. 1, c = 90 . This is then followed by a passive revolute joint perpendicular to the direction of the prismatic joint. Finally, a passive spherical joint connects each chain to the moving platform. Conventionally, all of the mechanisms discussed in this paper have one translational and two rotational degrees of freedom. That is, a translation along the base frame\u2019s z-axis and rotations around the x- and y-axes depicted in Fig. 1. The kinematics for this manipulator have been previously presented in a variety of publications (i.e., [8,11,17]) and therefore only a brief review is provided here. Constraint equations were developed in [10] relating Giz to Gix and Giy (for i = 1,2,3). As the derivation of these constraint equations is very involved, they will not be presented here. Knowing the plane on which the end effector lies, the radius of the moving platform, and the constraint equations, the position of the spherical joints represented by points Ai may be determined. As presented in [11], the displacement of the actuated prismatic joint i is solved by examination of the vector loop representing branch i, depicted in Fig. 1 for branch i = 3. Two solutions for this displacement are obtained by solving for the squared length of the fixed-length link li jlij2 \u00bc jri bij2 \u00f08\u00de The smaller of the two solutions corresponds to a joint displacement where the spherical joint of that limb, denoted by Ai, has a higher z elevation than the revolute joint denoted by Bi. This solution is preferred in order to reduce the possibility of mechanical interference between the fixed length link and the actuated prismatic joint. Having solved for the manipulator\u2019s pose, velocity analysis is now possible. As discussed earlier, the first step in obtaining the desired Jacobian matrix, JP, is to formulate the 3 \u00b7 9 Jacobian in Eq. (4) according to the method introduced by Kim and Ryu [15]. According to Fig. 1, let ci + ri represent the location of point gi also located at spherical joint i. Equating the vector addition ci + bi + li to the weighted summation of vectors gi ci \u00fe bi \u00fe li \u00bc ki;1g1 \u00fe ki;2g2 \u00fe ki;3g3 \u00f09\u00de Finally, taking the first time derivative and simplifying sT bi sli _bi \u00bc ki;1sT li _g1 \u00fe ki;2sT li _g2 \u00fe ki;3sT li _g3 \u00f010\u00de where sbi and sli are unit vectors in the directions of bi and li, respectively.

This paper presents a new spherical parallel manipulator, named 3-RRS wrist, belonging to the class of the not overconstrained and three-equal-legged SMs. The presented SM has a very reduced structural complexity and has no translation singularity. The 3-RRS wrist is obtained by imposing some manufacturing and mounting conditions on a parallel mechanism with three degrees of freedom (dof) that has three legs of type RRS (Fig. 1). Hereafter this mechanism will be called 3-RRS mechanism. In the next section a property of the rigid body motions will be demonstrated. Then, by exploiting this property, the mounting and manufacturing conditions that a 3-RRS mechanism has to encounter for being a spherical parallel manipulator will be enunciated. Finally the kinematic analysis of the 3-RRS wrist will be addressed and solved. For introducing the 3-RRS wrist the demonstration of the following statement is necessary: nloaded From: http://proceedings", "org/ on 02/02/2016 T zero and the linear homogeneous system (5) admits just the following solution q = 0 (8) Taking into consideration definition (4), Eq.

(10) states that any point of the rigid body moves on concentric spheres whose center is C, i.e., the rigid body accomplishes a spherical motion with center C. QED THE 3-RRS WRIST The number of degrees of freedom (dof number) of the 3-RRS mechanism (Fig. 1) can be computed with the Gr\u00fcbler equation: F = 6 (n \u2212 1) \u2212 j (6 \u2212 fj) (11) where F is the dof number of the mechanism, n is the number of links and fj is the dof number of the j-th kinematic pair. 3 Copyright \u00a9 2002 by ASME erms of Use: http://www.asme.org/about-asme/terms-of-use Dow The 3-RRS mechanism (Fig. 1) is composed of eight links (n=8), three spherical pairs (fj=3) and six revolute pairs (fj=1). Substituting these data into Eq. (11) gives F=3. Therefore the 3- RRS mechanism has three dof, i.e., is not overconstrained. Figure 4 shows a 3-RRS mechanism encountering the following mounting and manufacturing conditions: (i) the revolute pair axes converge towards a single point; (mounting and manufacturing condition) (ii) the centers of the spherical pairs are not aligned; (manufacturing condition) (iii) the point the revolute pair axes converge towards does not lie on the plane located by the three spherical pair centers; (manufacturing condition) Henceforth a 3-RRS mechanism encountering these geometric conditions will be called 3-RRS wrist" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0003431_ichr.2007.4813885-Figure4-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0003431_ichr.2007.4813885-Figure4-1.png", "caption": "Fig. 4.

However, it is difficult to perform falling detection effectively. Figure. 4 shows a state in the sensor space where the humanoid robots is walking stably, a state where the robot has received a disturbance and a state where the the robot is falling. As shown in the figure, if the robot enters the disturbed state it can sometimes return to the stable state by applying appropriate feedback control, whereas in other cases it moves to the fall state.

For a given Cauchy data (~p, \"t) defining an initial submanifold 1\" with nonempty intersection with N, a distributed sliding regime locally exists for system (2.1)-(2.2) on an open set .Ap (-'= N ~ S) of S, if and only if the phase flows corresponding to the controlled characteristic direction field of (2.1), which arise from the initial submanifold q~, exhibit such a local sliding regime on JV\" under the influence of the switching law (2.2). Proof. Suppose a distributed sliding mode locally exists for (2.1)-(2.2) on an open set JV\" of S. Then, the total time derivatives of y, at any point z in N, belonging to the graph of the solution of the controlled equation, can be computed in terms of the directional derivatives along the controlled characteristic direction field ~. These derivatives are given by: f o r y > O: d y = [ S h / b v ] d v / d t + [ Sh /Sx ] d x / d t + [ Sh/Ot ] dt = [Sh /Sv ]b (v , x, t, u +) + [ S h / 3 x ] X ( v , x, t, u +) + [Sh/St] = L ~ ( , . , + ( , ) ) h < O; f o r y < O: d y = [ S h / S v ] d v / d t + [ a h / O x ] d x / d t + [ ah /a t l dt = [Sh /Sv]b (v , x, t, u - ) + [ S h / S x ] X ( v , x, t, u - ) + [Sh/St] = L~(..u-(.))h > O. In other words, the controlled dynamical system described by the following set of ordinary differential equations: dz d-7 = ~ ( ' ' u), (2.4a) y = h ( z ) , (2.4b) (also known as the controlled characteristic equation (2.1)), with initial conditions taking values in F, exhibits a local sliding regime on the open set .,4 r of the sliding manifold S, determined by y = 0, when u is governed by the switching law (2.2). Sufficiency follows easily by assuming that a sliding mode exists for the controlled characteristic system and hypothesizing, at the same time, that a distributed sliding mode does not exist. By reversing the arguments presented above, a contradiction is easily established. [] Local sliding regimes, on subsets of S, of the distributed controlled system (2.1), (2.2) are, hence, completely characterized in terms of the local sliding motions - on the same manifold S - of the finite dimensional time-varying system (2.4) controlled by a switching law of the form (2.2). Theorem 2. A distributed sliding regime exists on an open set ~ of S for system (2.1), (2.2) if and only if there is an open neighborhood N of S in R n+ 2 where ~uL~h * O. (2.5) Proof. If L,h does not depend locally on u then, changing the control u from u+(z) to u - ( z ) at points z of LAP does not have any effect on the sign of L,h. Therefore, there exists an open set N in R n+2, containing ~,r, where the existence conditions (2.3) are violated and a sliding regime can not locally exist on sV'. To proof sufficiency, suppose L~h(z) explicitly depends on u, locally around sV in N. Let e - ( z ) be a smooth, locally strictly positive function of z. Then, by virtue of the implicit function theorem, the equation L , h ( z , u ) = e - ( z ) locally has a unique smooth solution u = u-*(z ) such that = t - ( z ) > O. Similarly, by the same arguments, given a smooth locally strictly negative function e+(z), a smooth control law u = u ~ ( z ) locally exists such that = < 0 . Hence, conditions (2.3) are locally valid around N and a sliding regime exists on the open set dV\" of S for the found distributed variable structure feedback control law: u + ( z l = u + ' ( z ) for h ( z ) > 0, u = u - ( z ) u -~(z ) for h ( z ) < O. [] Definition 3. For all initial states z located on the open set X of S, the unique distributed control function, uEQ(z), locally constraining the distributed trajectories to the sliding manifold S, in the region of existence ~V of the sliding motion, is known as the distributed equivalent control. (i.e., the equivalent control turns the open set ~4 r of S into a ocal integral manifold of the characteristic controlled direction field defined on ~ for some given initial Cauchy data defined on JV'). The resulting characteristic dynamics, ideally con- 180 H. Sira-Ramirez / Distributed sliding mode control strained to S, will be addressed as the characteristic ideal sliding dynamics. (See the original concept in Utkin [10] for ODE's . ) A coordinate-free description of such dynamics in S is: dz d-7 = ~ ( z ' uEQ(z)) , h(z ) = 0 . (2.6) The direction field ~(z, uEQ(z)) will be referred to as the equivalent direction field. Given an arbitrary smooth, noncharacteristic initial n-dimensional submanifold F of the zero output manifold v = ~(x , t), every integral manifold of the equivalent direction field, ~(z, uEQ(z)), is evidently a local solution, specified by v = q~(x, t), of the PDE representing the distributed ideal sliding dynamics: i~v ~ ~v ~ + ~-- -X, (v , x , t, uEQ(v, x, t)) i= 1 iSx~ A necessary and sufficient condit ion for an open set ~V\" of S to qualify as a local ( n + l ) - dimensional integral manifold of the controlled trajectories (2.6) is that the gradient of h be locally poin twise o r thogona l to the s m o o t h equivalent direction field ~(z, uEQ(z)), i.e., L,<:,uEo~z>)h(z ) = 0 for z ~ ,A r. (2.8) For an exposition of the results available for the assessment of the existence of sliding regimes in systems of the general form (2.4), the reader is refered to Sira-Ramirez [7] and to [8,9] for other classes of systems. 3.

Referring to Fig. 1, the length and the mean radius of the air-gap inverse functions are as follows: (1) In order to describe the geometrical model of the motor, versus the rotor circumferential angle and the rotation angle in mechanical degree must be calculated. The length of at an angle is obtained by intersection of the rotor circle equation and line, while the rotor has angle with respect to the mechanical reference (stator axes). In order to determine the rotor circle equation in stator frame, the following equation can be written by referring to Fig", " In the remaining part, it is shown that if the air-gap mean radius is ignored and instead one term of expansion of series (8) is included, a precise geometrical model is obtained without change of computation time.

There are many unanswered questions regarding the role of the spoke\u2013cp axis in managing the t-force. In the context of the Geometric Clutch mechanism this is a crucial issue; the points of major interest are illustrated in FIGURE 6. The flexibility of the cp projections could play a role in governing the distribution of t-force between the dyneins and the spokes. The more the t-force that is carried by the spoke\u2013cp axis, the less t-force the dynein motors will experience; thus, a greater curvature will develop before dynein disengagement occurs. This puts the spokes and cp apparatus in an ideal regulatory position. Release of the spoke head attachments to the cp projections would cause dramatic redistribution of t-force from the spokes to the dyneins", " Therefore, the most fundamental issue to be addressed is: 4. Do the spokes form physical attachments to the cp projections, and if they do, how much force can that attachment hold? This is a most fundamental interaction and is a crucial determinant of how the axoneme distributes t-force. We know from the work of Warner and Satir that the spokes readily tilt and the spoke heads translocate to new positions on the cp apparatus as the axoneme bends.42 Remarkably, we know almost nothing else about the spoke head\u2013cp interaction.

Further, it is pressed against the appendage by some of the component muscles of u2. This is a very simple case by which the locking mechanism is explained. The actual locking mechanisms of the body are, of course, much more complex and interesting. For example, the knee joint lock is a screw structure [17]-[20]. The present model also demonstrates one important feature of the lock: it is possible to maintain the constraint by the action of a subset of muscles involved while other muscles that are instrumental in bringing the limb to the locked position may rest [13], [19]. When the lock is in effect, in addition to F1, the forces F2 are also active F2= (F6G6)T.

A similar analysis can be done for the passive joints of the mobile plate. The following simplification rules can be established (Merlet 1993b):\nRule 8: Let ni be the external normal to the face i of the pyramid describing the constraints on the base joint. Let U1, U2 be the vectors of the second-order approximation of CB. If, at the extreme points of T, the vector AB lies inside the pyramid with respect to face and if U2.n;T > 0, then the constraint on the joint is satisfied on the whole T. Rule 9: If, at the extreme points of T, the vector AB lies inside the pyramid with respect to face i, this constraint will not be satisfied at some points of T if and only if:\n3.3. Link Interference\n3.3.1. Distance Between the Lines\nLet ll~ denote the distance between lines 1 and 2. By using equation (1) and a first-order approximation (22), the inequality ll~ < d can be written as a fourth-order polynomial in A P(A) > 0.\nIf the common perpendicular points Ql, Q2 of lines 1\nand 2 belong to the links, we get link interference. We define a], a2 such that A1Q1 = 0: 1 Al HI, A2Q2 = a2A2B2 and we get:\nwhere r, s, t are constants. We compute the intervals of [0,1] where P(A) > 0 (i.e., lt2 < c~, P(az) > 0 {i.e., ai > 0), P(c~z) - Pd :::; 0 (i.e., aj < 1). All these intervals can be easily derived from the analysis of the various polynomials. The intersection ID of all these intervals defines the components of T for which link interference occurs. If Id is empty, the distance between the lines (which is a lower bound of the distance between the links) is always greater than d. Consequently, the distance between the links is also always greater than d. If Id is not empty and ID is empty, we cannot conclude that the distance between the lines is less than d, but the distance between the links is greater than the distance between the lines.\n3.3.2.

Finally, the passive spherical joint connects each limb to the end effector. This architecture is depicted in Fig. 2.

Using this procedure, we can evaluate the capability of the mainpulator to perform tasks such as drilling, insertion, and so on at critical points of the workspace or workstation. The 6-R robot in Fig. 3B is used for a simple illustration. The symmetry of the workspace in Fig. 3B allows us to use any arbitrary cross section of the workspace through the origin. A line is extended from any given point Q at some angle A from the radial line extended through Q from the origin. The maximum approach length L from the hand point P to Q can be given by where Ro,i is either Ra or Ri, depending on which sphere is intersected. R is the radial distance from the origin to Q, and h is the hand length. Only positive values of L are true in (Eq. 6), and these lengths must also lie entirely in the region bounded by the R, and Ro spheres.

Some particularly weak sections of human bones are the upper and lower thirds of the humerus, femur, and fibula; the upper third of the radius; and the lower fourth of the ulna and tibia. Example 8.5 Consider the solid circular cylinder shown in Figure 8.43a. The cylinder is subjected to pure torsion by an externally applied torque, M. As illustrated in Figure 8.43b, the state of stress on a material element with sides parallel to the longitudinal and transverse planes of the cylinder is pure shear. For given M and the parameters defining the geometry of the cylinder, the magnitude Txy of the torsional shear stress can be calculated using the torsion formula provided in Eq. (8.26). Using Mohr's circle, investigate the state of stress in the cylinder. Solution: Mohr's circle in Figure 8.44a is drawn by using the stress element of Figure 8.43b. On surfaces A and B of the stress element shown in Figure 8.43b, there is only a negative shear Multiaxial Deformations and Stress Analyses 179 stress with magnitude i xy . Therefore, both A and B on the i-a diagram lie along the i axis where a = O. Furthermore, the ori gin of the i-a diagram constitutes the midpoint between A and B, and hence, the center, C, of the Mohr's circle. The distance be tween C and A is equal to i xy , which is the radius of the Mohr's circle. Mohr's circle cuts the horizontal axis at two locations, both at a distance ixy from the origin. Therefore, the principal stresses are such that al = ixy (tensile) and a2 = ixy (compres sive). Furthermore, i xy is also the maximum shear stress. The point where a = al on the i-a diagram in Figure 8.44a is labeled as D. The angle between lines CA and CD is 90\u00b0, and it is equal to half of the angle of orientation of the plane with normal in one of the principal directions. Therefore, the planes of maximum and minimum normal stresses can be obtained by rotating the element in Figure 8.43b 45\u00b0 (clockwise). This is illustrated in Figure 8.44b. The lines that follow the directions of principal stresses are called the stress trajectories. As illustrated in Figure 8.45 for a circular cylinder subjected to pure torsion, the stress trajectories are in the form of helices making an angle 45\u00b0 (clockwise and counter clockwise) with the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. As dis cussed previously, the significance of these stress trajectories is such that if the material is weakest in tension, the failure occurs along a helix such as bb in Figure 8.45, where the tensile stresses are at a maximum. 8.12 Bending Consider the simply supported, originally straight beam shown in Figure 8.46. A force with magnitude F applied downward bends the beam, subjecting parts of the beam to shear, tension, and compression. There are several ways to subject structures to bending. The free-body diagram of the beam in Figure 8.46 is shown in Figure 8.47a. The number of parallel forces acting on the beam are three. F is the applied load, and Rl and R2 are the reaction forces. The type of bending to which this beam is subjected is called a three-point bending. The beam in Figure 8.47b, on the other hand, is subjected to a four-point bending. The stress analyses of structures subjected to bending start with static analyses that can be employed to determine both external reactions and internal resistances. For two-dimensional prob lems in the xy-plane, the number of equations available from statics is three. Two of these equations are translational equilib rium conditions ('L F x = 0 and 'L F y = 0) and the third equation guarantees rotational equilibrium ('L Mz = 0). The internal re sistance of structures to externally applied loads can be deter mined by applying the method of sections, which is based on the 180 Fundamentals of Biomechanics fact that the individual parts of a structure that is itself in static equilibrium must also be in equilibrium. This concept makes it possible to utilize the equations of equilibrium for calculating internal forces and moments, which can then be used to deter mine stresses. Stresses in a structure subjected to bending may vary from one section to another and from one point to another over a given section. For design and failure analyses, maximum normal and shear stresses must be considered. These critical stresses can be determined by the repeated application of the method of sections throughout the structure. Consider the simply supported beam shown in Figure 8.48a. Assume that the weight of the beam is negligible. The length of the beam is i, and the two ends of the beam are labeled as A and B. The beam is subjected to a concentrated load with magnitude F, which is applied vertically downward at point C. The distance between A and Cis i1. The free-body diagram of the beam is shown in Figure 8.48b. By applying the equations of equilibrium, the reaction forces at A and B can be determined as RA = (1 - i1/i)F and RB = (i1li)F. To determine the internal reactions, the method of sections can be applied. As shown in Figure 8.48c, this method is applied at sections aa and bb because the nature of the internal reactions Multiaxial Deformations and Stress Analyses 181 on the left-hand and right-hand sides of the concentrated load are different. Once a hypothetical cut is made, either the left hand or the right-hand segment of the beam can be analyzed for the internal reactions. In Figure 8.48c, the free-body diagrams of the left-hand segments of the beam are shown. For the vertical equilibrium of each of these segments, there must be an internal shear force at the cut. The magnitude of this force at section aa can be determined as V = RA by applying the equilibrium condition L Fy = O. This force acts vertically downward and is constant between A and C. The magnitude of the shear force at section bb is V = F - RA = RB, and since F is greater than RA, it acts vertically upward. The sign convention adopted in this text for the shear force is illustrated in Figures 8.49 and 8.50. An upward internal force on the left-hand segment (or the downward internal force on the right-hand segment) of a cut is positive. Otherwise the shear force is negative. Therefore, as illustrated in Figure 8.48d, the shear force is negative between A and C, and positive between C and B. In addition to the vertical equilibrium, the segments must also be checked for rotational equilibrium. As illustrated in Figure 8.48c, this condition is satisfied if there are internal resisting moments at sections aa and bb. By utilizing the equilibrium condition L M = 0, the magnitudes of these counterclockwise moments can be determined for sections a a and b b as M = x RA and M = XRA - (x - .el)F, respectively. Note that M is a function of the axial distance x measured from A. The function relating M and x between A and C is different than that between C and B. These functions are plotted on an M versus x graph in Fig ure 8.48e. The moment is maximum at C where the load is ap plied. As illustrated in Figures 8.49 and 8.50, the sign convention adopted for the moment is such that a counterclockwise moment on the left-hand segment (or the clockwise moment on the right hand segment) of a cut is positive. It can also be demonstrated that shear force and bending mo ment are related through the following equation: V=_dM dx (8.30) If the variation of M along the length of the structure is known, then the shear force at a given section of the structure can also be determined using Eq. (8.30). The procedure outlined above is also applied to analyze a sim ply supported beam subjected to a distributed load of w (force per unit length of the beam), which is illustrated in Figure 8.48f through j. The procedure for determining the internal shear forces and resisting moments in cantilever beams subjected to Figure 8.49 Positive shear forces and bending moments.

When a structure is subjected to bending, both normal and shear stresses are generated in the structure. For example, consider the beam shown in Figure 8.52. The beam is bent by a downward force. If the beam is assumed to consist of layers of material, then the upper layers of the beam are compressed while the layers on the lower portion of the beam are subjected to tension. The extent of compression or the amount of contraction is maximum at the uppermost layer, and the amount of elongation is max imum on the bottom layer. There is a layer somewhere in the middle of the beam where a transition from tension to compres sion occurs. For such a layer, there is no tension or compression, and therefore, no deformation in the longitudinal direction. This stress-free layer that separates the zones of tension and compres sion is called the neutral plane of the beam. The line of intersec tion of the neutral plane with a plane (transverse) cutting the longitudinal axis of the beam at right angles is called the neutral axis. The neutral axis passes through the centroid. Centroids of symmetrical cross-sections are located at their geometric centers (Figure 8.53). The above discussion indicates that when a beam is bent, it is subjected to stresses occurring in the longitudinal direction or in Multiaxial Deformations and Stress Analyses 183 a direction normal to the cross-section of the beam. Furthermore, for the loading configuration shown in Figure 8.52, the distribu tion of these normal stresses over the cross-section of the beam is such that it is zero on the neutral axis, negative (compressive) above the neutral axis, and positive (tensile) below the neutral axis. For a beam subjected to pure bending, the following equa tion can be derived from the equilibrium considerations of a beam segment: My ax = --- I (8.31) This equation is known as the flexure formula, and the stress ax is called the flexural stress. In Eq. (8.31), M is the bending moment, y is the vertical distance between the neutral axis and the point at which the stress is sought, and I is the area moment of inertia of the cross-section of the beam about the neutral axis. The area moments of inertia for a number of simple geometries are listed in Table 8.1. Table 8.1 Area (A), area moment of inertia (I) about the neutral axis (NA),first moment of the area (Q) about the neutral axis, and maximum normal(O\"max) and shear ('max) stresses for beams subjected to bending and with cross-section as shown. bh2 fBNA A=bh Q=S Mh bh3 O\"max= 21 1=12 3V >--b~ Tmax=2A Q_2rq3 -0-NA A=11'rq2 - 3 Mrq 4 O\"max= 1 1 _'!I!:..tL - 4 4V Tmax=3A Q=rq(rq2 + r;2) @ A=7r(rq2 - r;2) Ti Mrq NA 7r{rq 4- r ;41 O\"max= 1 1= 4 2V Tmax=T The stress distribution at a section of a beam subjected to pure bending is shown in Figure 8.54. At a given section of the beam, both the bending moment and the area moment of inertia of the cross-section are constant. According to the flexure formula, the flexural stress a x is a linear function of the vertical distance y measured from the neutral axis, which can take both positive and negative values. At the neutral axis, y = 0 and a x is zero. For points above the neutral axis, y is positive and ax is negative, 184 Fundamentals of Biomechanics indicating compression. For points below the neutral axis, y is negative and ax is positive and tensile. At a given section, the stress reaches its absolute maximum value either at the top or the bottom of the beam where y is maximum. It is a common practice to indicate the maximum value of y with e, eliminate the negative sign indicating direction (which can be found by inspection), and write the flexure formula as: Me amax = -1- (8.32) For example, for a beam with a rectangular cross-section, width b, height h, and bending moment M, e = hj2 and the magnitude of the maximum flexural stress is: Mh amax = 12 with b h3 1=- 12 Note that while deriving the flexure formula, a number of as sumptions and idealizations are made. For example, it is as sumed that the beam is subjected to pure bending. That is, it is assumed that shear, torsional, or axial forces are not present. The beam is initially straight with a uniform, symmetric cross section. The beam material is isotropic and homogeneous, and linearly elastic. Therefore, Hooke's law (ax = EEx) can be used to determine the strains due to flexural stresses. Furthermore, Poisson's ratio of the beam material can be used to calculate lateral contractions and/ or elongations. When the internal shear force in a beam subjected to bending is not zero, a shear stress is also developed in the beam. The distribution of this shear stress on the cross-section of the beam is such that it is maximum on the neutral axis and zero on the top and bottom surfaces of the beam. The following formula is established to calculate shear stresses in bending: VQ Txy =-- 1 b (8.33) In Eq. (8.33), V is the shear force at a section where the shear stress Txy is sought, 1 is the moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area about the neutral axis, and b is the width of the cross-section. As shown in Figure 8.SS,let Yl be the vertical distance between the neutral axis and the point at which Txy is to be determined. Then Q is the first moment of the area a bed about the neutral axis. The first moment of area abed can be calculated as Q = Ay, where A is the area enclosed by a bed and y is the distance between the neutral axis and the centroid of area abed. Note that both A and yare maximum at the neutral axis, and A is zero at the top and bottom surfaces. Therefore, Q is maximum at the neutral axis, and zero at the top and bottom surfaces. Maximum Q's for different cross-sections are listed in Table 8.l. The shear stress distribution over the cross-section of a beam is shown in Figure 8.56. The shear stress is constant along lines Multiaxial Deformations and Stress Analyses 185 parallel to the neutral axis. The shear stress is maximum at the neutral axis, where Yl = 0 and Q is maximum. Maximum shear stresses for different cross-sections can be obtained by substi tuting the values of I and Q into Eq. (8.19), which are listed in Table 8.1. For example, for a rectangular cross-section: 3V Tmax = 2 b h Consider a cubical material element in a beam subjected to shear force and bending moment as illustrated in Figure 8.57. On this material element, the effect of bending moment M is represented by a normal (flexural) stress ax, and the effect of shear force V is represented by the shear stress Txy acting on the surfaces with normals in the positive and negative x (longitudinal) directions. As shown in Figure 8.57b, for the rotational equilibrium of this material element, there have to be additional shear stresses (Tyx) on the upper and lower surfaces of the cube (with normals in the positive and negative Y directions) such that numerically Tyx = Txy. The occurrence of Tyx can be understood by assuming that the beam is made of layers of material, and that these layers tend to slide over one another when the beam is subjected to bending (Figure 8.58). There are various experiments that may be conducted to analyze the behavior of specimens subjected to bending forces. Some of these experiments will be introduced within the context of the following examples. Example 8.6 Figure 8.59 illustrates an apparatus that may be used to conduct three-point bending experiments. This appara tus consists of a stationary head (A) to which the specimen (B) is attached, two rings (C and D), and a mass (E) with weight W applied to the specimen through the rings. For a weight W = 1000 N applied to the middle of the specimen and for a support length of e = 16 cm (the distance between the left and the right supports), determine the maximum flexural and shear stresses generated at section bb of a specimen. The specimen has a square (a = 1 cm) cross-section, and the distance between the left support and section bb is d = 4 cm (Figure 8.60a). Solution: The free-body diagram of the specimen is shown in Figure 8.60a. The force (W) is applied to the middle of the speci men. The rotational and translational equilibrium of the speci men requires that the magnitude R of the reaction forces gener ated at the supports must be equal to half of W. That is, R = 500 N. The specimen has a square cross-section, and its neutral axis is located at a vertical distance a /2 measured from both the top and bottom surfaces of the specimen. The normal (flexu ral) stresses generated at section bb of the specimen depend on 186 Fundamentals of Biomechanics Figure B.60a. the magnitude of the bending moment M at section bb and the area moment of inertia I of the specimen at section bb about the neutral axis. At section bb, the magnitude of the flexural stress is maximum (CTmax ) at the top (compressive) and the bottom (ten sile) surfaces of the specimen: Ma CTmax = T 2' The internal resistances at section bb of the specimen are shown in Figure 8.60b. For the rotational equilibrium of the specimen: M = d R = (0.04)(500) = 20 N-m The area moment of inertia of a square with sides a is: I = a4 = (0.01)4 = 8.33 X 10-10 m4 12 12 Substituting M and I into the flexure formula will yield: ( 20 ) 0.01 6 CTmax = 8.33 X 10-10 2 = 120 x 10 Pa = 120 MPa The shear stress generated at section bb of the specimen is a function of the shear force Vat section bb, and the first moment Q and the area moment of inertia I of the cross-section of the specimen at section bb.

In separate papers we shall consider applied (uniaxial) stress and electric fields, both of which lead to novel counter intuitive effects. We shall determine 6 as a function of the magnitude of deformation and the orientation of the frame of the imposed deformation A,j with respect to n\u00b0. To do this we shall proceed essentially as above, minimizing F~i with\nrespect to any free components of and with respect to Q and 6, which characterize Q.\nWe consider several types of deformations in increasing order of complexity taking two principal axes of distortion to define the (z, z) plane. For these distortions we show below that the director rotates about the axis and remains in the (z, z) plane, therefore one can effectively operate with (2 x 2) anisotropic matrices. Each type of deformation produces characteristic\ninstabilities. Some produce \"soft elasticity\" phenomenon hitherto unknown in rubber theories", "initial and current directors respectively; unit vectors u (u, v for simple shear) define the principal\naxes of deformation.\nand which we discuss in a separate paper. We list here each type of deformation and analyze them later in separate sections.\n(A) Uniaxial extension at an angle a with respect to I (coincident with the initial director\nn\u00b0), figure la. In terms of the unit vector u of the direction of extension, the deformation\ntensor at a constant volume is A~ = (1/@)6,j + (A lilt)1t,ltj. This is simple conceptually but difficult to apply in practice since biaxial stresses are needed to create uniaxial deformation in a misaligned but naturally uniaxial system. The simplicity of I however allows one to see the hallmark of instabilities occurring in more complex geometrfis. We find a jump in the\ndirector at a critical strain applied at a = x/2.

This critical I likewise depends only on initial anisotropy.\n3, Results.\nHenceforth we use a coordinate system (z,z,y) based on u e rotated by a about \u00a7 from the original (principal) frame of1\u00b0.

Mather and Cooper [3] stated that depending on the geometry of the shaft, a lead deflection of 5 cm can result in a 5 increase in the loft of the club. They refer to this added loft as dynamic loft (Fig. 2a).

In the period between the two linear phases the continuous change in the slope is due to a change in the composition of enzymatic species in solution. Since there is accumulation of Compound III, the Soret band moves from 412 to 424 nm. The catalytic behavior is in accord with the enzymatic cycle represented in Figure 2. It differs from those of classical peroxidases such as HRP for the greater importance assumed by the formation of Compound III and for the possibility to have two intermediates with an oxidative equivalent above the native enzyme in the LPO-H2O2 system. In order to confirm the cycle in Figure 2 the same experiment as that reported in Figure 1A was performed, but the order of introduction of the reagents was changed. In particular, the substrate p-cresol was introduced as the last reactant. In this way, the enzyme in the presence of hydrogen peroxide forms Compound III and then, introducing the substrate, the conditions become similar to those of the second phase of the experiment represented in Figure 1A. In fact, in this experiment a straight line with a slope similar to, but slightly smaller than, that in the second phase of the previous experiment was obtained", " The LPO-F- complex obtained in the decomposition of Compound III is in the high-spin state and has an optical spectrum similar to that of the native enzyme (\u03bbmax 412 nm). Thus, it is possible to prevent the accumulation of Compound III during the kinetic experiments using fluoride as decomposition agent. Figure 3 shows the effect of fluoride in the time course of the oxidation of p-cresol with H2O2 catalyzed by LPO, together with the indication of the enzyme Soret band during the different phases of the reaction. The halogen ion affects the reaction in a concentration dependent manner. The presence of fluoride modifies the kinetic mechanism as shown in Figure 2. One effect of fluoride is to reduce the slope of the first phase of the reaction because, on binding to LPO, it reduces the concentration of free enzyme. The effect of fluoride on the second phase is to increase the slope because it reduces the lifetime of the low reactive Compound III species. Moreover, above 25 mM fluoride there is no appreciable accumulation of Compound III. Also, using fluoride it is not possible to simplify the cycle, because when the concentration of fluoride is raised to prevent the accumulation of Compound III the halogen binds to LPO inhibiting the formation of CompI(IV,P\u2022+)", " In addition, the velocity of the inactivation process depends strongly on the substrate (with phenols having high redox potential the inactivation is fast). (c) The oxidation of phenols by LPO depends strongly on the substrate redox potential. In fact, when the phenolic E\u00b0 is high, the kinetic parameters (kcat and kcat/KM) are small and there is a fast inactivation of the enzyme to Compound III. Moreover, at pH 5, the enzyme seems to be a very poor catalyst in the oxidation of p-substituted phenols bearing an amino group. The explanation of these differences starts from the catalytic cycle. It is represented in Figure 2 and differs from those of the other peroxidases for the presence of two intermediates bearing a radical delocalized on an amino acid residue. The cycle resembles that of CCP, which delocalizes a radical on a tryptophan residue (Trp191) to form Compound ES (Bosshard et al., 1991; Anni & Yonetani, 1992; Ortiz de Montellano, 1992) but, during turnover, the radical reacts faster than the ferryl group, so that CCP uses only one intermediate having an oxidizing state above the resting enzyme.

According to Clifford [9] a basic geometric interpretation of a motor can be seen as the necessary operation to convert the rotation axis of a rotor into another one. Each rotor can be geometrically represented as a rotation plane with the rotation axis normal to this plane. Thus, one rotor can be spanned using a scalar and the bivector basis \u03b32\u03b33, \u03b33\u03b31, \u03b31\u03b32 and the dual one by a pseudoscalar and \u03b34\u03b31, \u03b34\u03b32, \u03b34\u03b33. Figure 4(a) depicts a motor action in detail where the rotor axes are now considered as rotation lines. In the Figure let us first turn the orientation of the axis of one rotor Ra parallel to the other one Rb by applying the rotor Rs . Then slide it the distance d along the connecting axis into the position of the axis of the second rotor. These operations can be seen together as forming a twist about a screw with the line axis l and the relation called pitch which equals to |ts | = d \u03b8 for \u03b8 6= 0. The Fig. 4(b) shows an action of a motor on a real object. In this case the motor relates the rotation axis line of the initial position of the object to the rotation axis line of its final position. Note that in both figures the angle and sliding distance indicate how the rigid displacement takes place around and along a screw line axis l respectively. We said in Subsection 3.1 that a rotor relates two vectors. Now, in the case of a motor it relates the rotation axes of two rotors. A motor is specified only by its direction and position of the screw axis line, twist angular magnitude and pitch", " If we want to express the motor using only rotors in dual spinor representation we proceed as follows M = TsRs = ( 1+ I ts 2 ) Rs = Rs + I ts 2 Rs . (37) Let us consider carefully the dual part of the motor. This is the geometric product of the bivector ts and the rotor Rs . Since both are expressed in terms of the same bivector basis their geometric product will be also expressed in this basis and this can be seen as a new rotor R\u2032s . Thus, we can further write M = Rs + I ts 2 Rs = Rs + I R\u2032s (38) In this equation the line axes of the rotors are differently oriented in space, see Fig. 4(a). That means that they represent the general case of non-coplanar rotors. If the sliding distance ts is zero then the motor will degenerate to a rotor M = TsRs = ( 1+ I ts 2 ) Rs = ( 1+ I 0 2 ) Rs = Rs . (39) In this case the two generating axis lines of the motor are coplanar, thus the motor is called a degenerated one. Finally, the bivector ts can be expressed in terms of the rotors using previous results R\u2032s R\u0303s = ( ts 2 Rs ) R\u0303s, (40) therefore, ts = 2R\u2032sR\u0303s . (41) Figure 4 shows that t is a distance bivector relating the two rotation axes of the rotors Ra and Rb, and ts is a bivector representing a displacement along the motor axis line. According to Fig. 4(b) the distance t considered here as a bivector can be computed in terms of the bivectors tc and ts as follows t = t\u22a5 + t\u2016 t = (tc \u2212 Rs tc R\u0303s)+ (t \u00b7 n)n = (tc \u2212 Rs tc R\u0303s)+ dn = tc \u2212 Rs tc R\u0303s + ts = tc \u2212 Rs tc R\u0303s + 2R\u2032s R\u0303s .

From this we can draw graphs (Figure 11) showing change in F and T during the stroke from the estimations F = v2 cot 6 and T = v2, v2 being a direct measure of T' in equations (1 to 5 ) , above. From this exercise, some interesting points emerge. First, it will be seen that in Squalus acanthias (and indeed prob ably in all sharks), at the end of each beat the dorsal and ventral lobes of the tail reach angles of inclination exceeding 90\u00b0. This has two results: (a) it places each lobe in the correct orientation to start the next stroke with a low angle of inclination, and (b) potentially produces a reversed thrust F, moving the fish backwards (Figure 11). The latter, of course, is an artifact of the assumption that the water is perfectly still with respect to the fish. In fact, basic hydrodynamic considerations show that when the tail is decelerating at the end of the stroke, the displaced water behind the tail has a greater transverse momentum than that in front of the tail and thus a forward thrust is maintained. In the absence of direct mea- surement of the forward and transverse acellerations of the tail throughout the stroke, we may estimate the magnitudes of the forward and transverse thrust during these latter phases of the stroke, as in Figure 11. With this, we may estimate that, on average across the whole stroke, the forward and transverse thrust in the dorsal lobe of the tail are in the proportion F/T = 1.85. In the ventral hypochordal lobe F/T is estimated as 1.50 averaged over the whole stroke. It will be obvious that the relative magni tudes of F and T will be changed if the angle of inclination changes in a different pattern during the beat of the tail. We can simulate this in a simple way by moving the curves shown in Figure 11 to the right (increasing average F / T ) or the left. Changes may also be effected by modification of the change in transverse speed of the tail during the beat, although Gray (1933) and most other authors believe that it is always symmetrical. Referring back to our simple model, we can calculate a series of \"balanced\" values of the (dorsal) thrust angle and angle of rotation for different hypothetical ratios of F/T (Table 1). Because it seems reasonable that the upper limit on the angle of rotation would be 45\u00b0, we can also place upper limits on the angles of thrust and therefore, given the relationship between the angle of thrust and the heterocercal angle (Figure 4 ) , upon the latter also", " Therefore, if this curve is generally applicable, from Table 1 we can see that for all values of the thrust angles that are less than 26\u00b0 (heterocercal angle of 33\u00b0) a available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0094837300003286 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

At thrust angles greater than 26\u00b0 the thrust will be out of balance at the portion of the stroke at which F/T approaches its peak (Table 2, Figure 11), and the deviation will be such as to give a line of thrust directed behind the center of gravity of the fish. Any such devia tion must be compensated for either by exter nal factors (see ventral hypochordal lobe, below) or by corresponding adjustment dur ing the rest of the stroke (leading, in that case, to a symmetrical \"wobble\" in swimming). Ventral hypochordal lobe.\u2014The develop ment of the ventral hypochordal lobe in sharks varies widely and without discontinuity from the condition exemplified by the nurse shark Ginglyostoma, where it is absent, to the large epipelagic sharks such as Lamna, Isurus and Rhincodon, where it makes up more than 30% of the total caudal fin surface", " The tip of the ventral hypochordal lobe moves transversely through a complete arc, exactly like the dorsal lobe of the tail but out of phase. As it flexes along its long axis, it produces its own changing angles of inclination and, being at a different point along the length of the fish from the center of effort of the dorsal lobe, the center of effort of the ventral hypochordal lobe has its own (smaller) transverse velocity. The average ratio F/T, as developed from the Squalus acanthias data, is lower in the ventral hypochordal lobe than in the dorsal lobe (1.50 as compared with 1.85). However, as Figure 11 and Table 2 show, the maximum value of F/T is larger (2.68). The absolute magnitude of the thrust is less because of the smaller arc of transverse movement and cor responding lower velocities and also the lesser surface area of the ventral hypochordal lobe.

Taking into account the change of the stiffness of this system, the gripping force can be calculated. This method has the drawback of low accuracy. Several different microgrippers for the assembly of microparts were developed by [33] (Figure 6.11a). The grippers were manufactured using plasma-enhanced dry etching of silicon and deep UV lithography of SU-8. The joints of the grippers were designed as flexure hinges; they are actuated by shape memory alloys. A double cantilever beam structure for stress concentration was integrated into the Force Feedback for Nanohandling 187 gripper jaws, and piezoresistors were implanted in the areas with the highest mechanical stress (Figure 6.11b). The tensile and compression stresses during gripping cause a change of the resistance of the piezoresistors. A noticeable nonlinearity of the sensor\u2019s output presumably results from the wires to the piezoresistors. As the wires are made of a sputtered gold layer, they deflect together with the flexures and thus change their resistivity analogously to the piezoresistors due to mechanical stress.

In Section 5, we describe the approach in the study of the dynamics of the Stewart platform and give the initial result. The detailed dynamic equations and the complete result will be given in our future papers. 2. Summary of Kinematics and Inverse Kinematics In this paper, interest focuses on the Stewart platform configuration which consists of a semi-regular hexagonal lower platform, an equilateral triangular upper platform, and six identical linear actuators, as shown in Figure 1. Fix an inertia frame (X, Y, Z) at the center of the lower platform with the Z-axis pointing vertically upward. Fix another moving coordinate system ( x , y , z ) at the center of gravity of the upper platform with the z-axis normal to the platform, pointing outward. In the sequel, these two coordinate systems are called the BASE frame and the TOP frame, respectively. The physical dimensions of the lower and upper platform and the coordinates of their vertices in terms of the BASE frame or the TOP frame are shown in Figure 2", " Since there is no explicit expression available for the forward kinematics, deriving the dynamic equations directly in link space would be very difficult. On the other hand, deriving the equations of motion for the Stewart platform in Cartesian space will be easier. This is exactly the reverse of the serial-link situation. To obtain the kinetic and potential energies, we will divide the Stewart platform into two different parts: the upper platform (with mass mu) and the six legs (each with mass ml). Note that a perfect study will also require a decomposition in two of each leg - the lower part, and the upper moving part, see Figure 1. This would give the exact expression of the different energies. However, these expressions are very complicated and very difficult to use. So, as a compromise solution, we will consider that each leg can be modeled by its center of mass (Gi) and that the mass is concentrated on there. Note that G i is time-varying due to the extension of link i. The assumption that G i is fixed at the center of each leg is not accurate enough for our purposes. To determine the moving point Gi, note that: (i) The center of m a s s Gli of the lower part is not in the middle of this body (see Figure 1) due to the great mass of the DC motor. Let us denote by ll, the length, ml, the mass, of this part and ~5, the distance BiGli. (ii) On the contrary, the upper part of each linear actuator is uniform. Thus, its center of mass G2i is in its 'middle point'. Let us denote by l 2 the length and m2 the mass of this second part. (iii) Finally, denote by -ffi the unitary vector (BiTj/11 BiTj II) wherej -- (i + 1)/2 if i is odd, and j = i /2 if i is even. One then easily obtains B ~ .

Output of these computer solutions shows that the bearing stiff ness is a function of boundary condition, loads, and rotational speed, as shown in Fig. 4. As rotational speed increases, the bearing stiffness decreases significantly for this constant preload example. This decrease in stiffness could play a crucial role in spindle response at larger cutting speeds. To demonstrate this, the bearing program has been coupled to the spindle model described below.

Through this feedback, it is also expected that the kinetic energy of the swing leg increases and that the reaction torque (\u2212T ) will make the support leg rotate in the forward direction in a region where \u03b83 > 0. The self-excitation of the swing leg based on the asymmetrical matrix is explained in detail below. Figure 2 depicts the two-DOF swing leg model whose first joint is stationary. To make Figure 2 compatible with Figure 5b, the upper and lower links are termed the second and third links, respectively. To generate a swing motion like a swing leg, only the second joint is driven by the torque T2, which is given by the negative position feedback of the form T2 = \u2212k\u03b83. (1) From the fundamental study of the asymmetrical stiffness matrix-type self-excitation (Ono and Okada 1994a), it is known that damping plays an important role in inducing the at RUTGERS UNIV on August 11, 2015ijr.sagepub.comDownloaded from self-excited motion", " Since the exciting force acts only during half the period and the input energy is consumed at the plastic knee collision, the divergence rate becomes small compared with Figure 3. The next question is whether the biped mechanism, which combines the two-DOF swing leg discussed in Section 2 and the single-DOF support leg, can generate a biped locomotion that satisfies the conditions (1), (4), and (5). Since it is difficult to derive this solution analytically, we numerically show that the nonlinear biped system excited by the asymmetrical feedback exhibits a stable biped locomotion that satisfies the three conditions as a limit cycle of the system. Figure 5a shows the representative postures of a biped mechanism during half of the period of biped locomotion. From an aspect of the difference of the basic equation, one step process can be divided into two phases: (1) from the start of the swing leg motion to the collision at the knee (the first phase) and (2) from the knee collision to the touchdown of the straight swing leg (the second phase). We assume that the change of the support leg to the swing leg occurs instantly and that the end of the second phase is the beginning of the first phase. The self-excitation feedback of (1) is applied only during the first phase. We assume that the support leg is kept straight because of internal reaction torque at the knee for simplifying the forward dynamic simulation. The validity of this assumption will be examined later. Under the assumption of a straight support leg, the analytical model during the first phase is represented as a three-DOF link system, as shown in Figure 5b. Viscous damping is applied to the knee joint of the swing leg. The equation of motion in this system during the first phase is written as M11 M12 M13 M22 M23 sym M33 \u03b8\u03081 \u03b8\u03082 \u03b8\u03083 (6) + 0 C12 C13 \u2212C12 \u03b33 C23 \u2212 \u03b33 \u2212C13 \u2212C23 \u2212 \u03b33 \u03b33 \u03b8\u03071 \u03b8\u03072 \u03b8\u03073 + K1 K2 K3 = \u2212T2 T2 0 , where the elementsMij , Cij , andKi of the matrices are shown in Appendix A.

The relationship between clearance of the swing leg tip and shank mass ratio is shown in Figure 16. We note that the shank mass ratio value of about 0.3 is optimum in terms of the stable and robust walking gait. From the parameter study described above, it seems that the simulation results are consistent with walking characteristics of a human being. To validate the simulation results stated above, we manufactured the biped robot similar to the analytical model shown in Figure 5b. The structure of the robot is schematically illustrated in Figure 17. The robot has three legs whose outer legs are connected by a shaft at the hip to prevent a rolling motion. The shaft and the inner leg are connected serially by a 100 W AC servomotor through one-tenth reduction gears. The thigh and shank of each leg are connected by a passive joint with a knee stopper. An optical encoder of 1000 pulses is mounted at each knee joint.

If the eyes have to focus on a new fixation point, the required eye movement can be calculated (or at least estimated fairly accurately) based on the actual measured disparities. For example, if a point is fixed, which lies further away (but in the same cyclopean line of sight), then the vergence signals, which control the movement of the eyes, are determined by the measured disparities of the new fixation point relative to the actual fixation point. Figure 5.3 shows an example of this. In Figure 5.3a, the eyes are focused on the level F1. Points on this level have disparity 0. The points on the more distant level F2 have a negative disparity d(F2). The greater the extent of this disparity, the further do the eyes have to turn outwards in order to focus on the level F2 (Figure 5.3b). Through the changes in the fixation level, the disparities in the new level become 0. The disparity region is shifted; it is always relative to the fixation point. In Figure 5.3a, F2 always has a negative disparity to F1. In Figure 5.3b, F1 always has a positive disparity to F2. 134 Marco J\u00e4hnisch As referred to above, the disparity search area for the algorithmical processing of stereoscopic images has a limited extent. Disparities outside of this search area cannot be detected.

The analysis presented here has shown that hover control of a two-propeller VTOL aircraft is possible using two tilting rotors. The pitch stability is increased by combining the opposed lateral tilting with the longitudinal tilting of the two rotors. The resulting oblique tilting appears to be effective and practical. Indeed, the experimental results obtained on prototypes constructed by our team (see Figure 1(b)) are very promising. In this paper, we have also developed a 6-DOF model of the birotor aircraft and synthesized a nonlinear controller which leads to a satisfactory control.

When attempting to automate the motion planning process for a biped walking robot, one of the main issues is assurance of dynamic stability of motion. This can be categorized into three general groups [l]: body stiG bility, body path stability, and gait stability. A Zero Moment Point (ZMP), a point where the total forces and moments acting on the robot are zero, is usually used as a basic component for dynamically stable motion.\nStable walking using a compensative inverted pendulum was achieved e.g. by the robot [2] with eight control variables (called degrees of freedom, DOF) and an upper body acting like an inverted pendulum. Other approaches for stable locomotion, with or without ZMP use, have been considered as well (see, e.g. [5],[6],[7]). In a more recent achievement, Honda\u2019s hu-\nmanoid robot P2 [8] showed the ability to walk forward, backward, right, left, up and down a staircase, and on the uneven terrain.\nNow suppose the biped robot has a sensor (say, vision) that allows it to detect an object in front of it, and suppose it walks in a scene with obstacles. In principle, this should allow the robot to operate in the scene the way humans do, avoiding the obstacles while maintaining stable motion. When encountering an obstacle on its way, depending on the obstacle\u2019s size and shape, a way of recuperating from the disturbance is to step over the obstacle, or step on it, or try to pass around it. Foot placement during this operation should be planned so as to preserve dynamical stability. If feasible, such a behavior would produce dynamically stable real time motion in an unstructured environment with unknown obstacles.\nAttempting such an approach is the topic of this work. The work builds and further extends the methodology presented in [3], which allows a biped robot to maintain dynamically stable motion under force disturbances. Some details are skipped due to the lack of space; for those, refer to [4].\n2 The Model of Biped Locomotion\nThe robot consists of seven body parts [5]: one hip, two thighs, two calves, and two feet. Body parts have certain masses, which all affect the dynamics and the walking pattern. There is a total of twelve DOF - six at the hip, two at knee, and four at ankle, Figures 1,2 . Similar to the human knee, robot knee joints are able to turn only about 04 axis; each joint between the hip and thigh has three DOF. The ankle joint turns about 05 axis and 0s axis.\nThe robot is assumed to be equipped with sensors (say, a vision) capable of sensing obstacles on its way and assessing their dimensions and distances to them. Only obstacles directly in front of the robot are considered. Each obstacle is a parallelepiped: it can be\n0-7803-51 80-0-5/99 $10.00 0 1999 IEEE 375", "small enough to step over it by raising a leg, or small and wide enough to step on/off it, or tall enough so that side steps are necessary to pass around it.\nTwo major phases in walking dynamics are hypothesized [5]: single support phase and double support phase. During the single support phase, one leg is on the ground, and the other leg is in the swinging motion. As soon as the swinging leg reaches the ground, the system is in the double support phase, Figure 3. Denote T2 the time period of deploy phase, T3 - of swing phase, T4 - of heel contact phase, and 2Tl - of support phase. The time period of a single walking cycle within which all body parts return to their original configuration is 4Tl.\n, support b ' angk ~ o u ~ s ~ u p p o t t ~ a s e I Single xme\nI h p h I Swtng ' w a n t a u I ' ~bploy ' Swing : ~ e e i c ~ n t a c t ' I 1 i\n3 Zero Moment Point and Locomotion LaLsrr T2 T3\nI ZMP is defined as a point on the walking surface\nin which the total forces and moments acting on the robot are zero [l]. If at a given moment of motion all the forces acting on the robot (gravity, reaction forces, and inertia forces) are balanced so that ZMP lies within the current robot footprint, the robot's POsition at this moment is dynamically stable. If this is true throughout the motion, and the trajectory of the robot's center of mass (COM) is smooth and lies be-\nlRigMLeg suppoct\nFigure 3: Phases of a single walking cycle.", "Variation in step length. With the robot dimensions under the model used, a normal motion step (single walking cycle) is of length 28 inches. When sensing an obstacle that is to be negotiated, the robot may decide to step on or over it, and this may require the robot first positioning itself at a specific position relative to the obstacle. This can be done by modifying the step length appropriately. Due to the effects of dynamics and related computational difficulties, it is not easy to compute the trajectory for an arbitrary step \u201con the fly\u201d; instead, a small number of \u201c typ ical\u201d step lengths that together cover a large set of situations are developed and \u201ccanned\u201d. Relative to the normal step length, this includes a half step (14 inches), quarter step (7 inches), and zero step (0 inch) lengths options. By aplying an appropriate scheme for the dynamics of swing leg and hip position trajectories, a stable walk for those walking patterns is obtained.\nVariation in the swine lee: height. With normal walk pattern, the robot can negotiate obstacles up to 1 inch high. To step over higher obstacles, the leg needs to be raised higher than normal. This changes the whole swing leg trajectory (according to the model, the COM of a swinging leg trajectory has parabolic shape [5]). Similar to the above, five trajectories that take care of the motion dynamic stability are precomputed and stored - for the obstacle heights (height ranges) 1, 2,3 ,4 , and 5 inches. (Bigger heights seem to be feasible; no attempt was made to maximize the step height for stepping on/over obstacles). After obtaining from the sensors the height and width of the obstacle that is to be negotiated, and after deciding to negotiate it by stepping on or over it, the robot chooses and executes the appropriate leg height trajectory.\nForward-side step and side step. When the obstacle is too high to step over or on it, the robot will attempt to pass around it. The (local) direction of passing around an obstacle (left or right) is decided upon beforehand; in our experiments (see below) it has been \u201cleft\u201d. If at the moment of such a decision the robot still has room for forward motion, it can be combined with side motion, producing a forward-side step. Otherwise, a side step, which has no forward component and is perpendicular to the prior direction of motion, is executed; in our scale, the side step is 6 inches long.\nTo keep the motion smooth, depending on the swinging leg at the moment of a (left) forward-side step, it may be either left or right leg that starts the maneuver. If it is the left leg, the forward-side step is simply build of the two components as above; after its execution the robot torso ends up 6 inches to the left. Because of the possible entanglement between two legs, the same cannot be done with the right leg starting the maneuver. In this case, after the step execution the right foot end up right in front of the left foot; the next step by the left leg will complete the forward-side step maneuver. Again, tied to this operation is the adjustment of the swing leg COM and hip position trajectories so as to satisfy dynamics stability.\nStepping on/off obstacles. If the obstacle is wide and flat enough to step on, sometimes it is more efficient to negotiate it by stepping on it rather than going around it. Similar to the stepping over o p tion above, five dynamically stable trajectories, for the foot heights from 1 to 5 inches, are precomputed and stored. Once the height of such an obstacle is known, the swing leg COM and hip position trajectories are chosen from the set. The walking pattern of stepping off the obstacle is similar. Depending on the length of the obstacle, stepping on the obstacle may be followed by few normal steps, then perhaps a reduced length step, and finally stepping off step.\nThe flowchart of the overall decision making algorithm capable of negotiating a sequence of obstacles of the types described above is shown in Figure 5. Darkened boxes indicate the final action in the current cycle, after which a new step is initiated and the control goes to the top of the flowchart. The algorithm for selecting the walking pattern utilizes nested if-else commands.\n5 Simulated Examples\nDescribed here are the results of computer simulated experiments with two-legged locomotion in the" ] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0003126_j.mechmachtheory.2006.10.004-Figure3-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0003126_j.mechmachtheory.2006.10.004-Figure3-1.png", "caption": "Fig. 3. Basic structure and vector model of the Tricept manipulator.", "texts": [ " The last manipulator analysed in this study is the Tricept mechanism which has been studied in a variety of works (see for instance [13,18]), most likely as a result of its large commercial success. The most unique feature of this mechanism with four limbs is that the fourth leg, having 3-DOF, is entirely composed of passive joints. Each of the actuated limbs has 7-DOF and therefore the 3-DOF passive leg is used to constrain the system to those 3-DOF contained within it. This assembly is schematically depicted in Fig. 3. The order of joints composing the passive leg may be interchanged in order to minimise undesired motions of the end effector, or \u2018parasitic\u2019 motions as defined in [11]. For instance, if the Tricept mechanism is to be implemented as a translational manipulator, as most research papers do, large motions in the x- and y-directions are possible if the passive prismatic joint follows the passive universal joint attached near the base platform. However, by reversing the joints, as depicted in Fig. 3, these motions become limited by the distance between the universal joint and the end effector platform, i.e., the magnitude of vector d depicted in Fig. 3. Furthermore, in this work, these translational displacements along the x- and y-axes are considered to be parasitic motions whereas rotations around x and y are desired (see Fig. 3). Note that these parasitic motions may be eliminated by letting the intersection of the two revolute axes composing the universal joint, lie on the plane defined by the centres of the spherical joints attached to the moving platform, i.e., making jdj = 0. Therefore, to allow a fair comparison to the 3-PRS and 3-RPS manipulators, the order of joints composing the central, passive limb is chosen as prismatic-universal (PU), as opposed to the UP limb commonly used in most works where this mechanism is treated as a translational device" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0003881_j.aca.2010.11.053-Figure1-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0003881_j.aca.2010.11.053-Figure1-1.png", "caption": "Fig. 1.

Addition of more liquid would then result in a situation for which no equilibrium is possible, and so liquid would certainly separate from the drop.

The simple parabolic approximate form of T (Eq. 4.26) will give a good approx imation, since it differs from the true solution only in the small end zones. We may generalize Eq.

In this case solutions - or experimental findings - from one problem may be trans ferred to the other - analogous - problem. The most known analogy to the torsion problem of prismatic bars is that of a membrane (soap film) fixed on a closed boundary, having the same shape as the cross section of the torsion bar, where pressure is applied to one side of the membrane. We therefore refer e.g. to the textbook of Boresi, Schmidt & Sidebottom, Advanced Mechanics of Materials, 5th.

In the following sections, we now will examine this problem with thin-walled cross sections. We maintain the assumptions of St. Venant's theory about the displacement com ponents (Eqs. 4.1, 4.2), and furthermore - for the moment - assume unrestrained warping 'IjJ(y, z) in the x direction. In Section 3.2, we discussed beams of thin walled cross sections subject to shear forces. From this section, we take the modi fied description of thin-walled cross sections, with cross-sectional centerline (mid dle line), and additional rectangular coordinates (, along the centerline and 'f/, per pendicular to (. Thus, the thin-walled cross section is described by the coordinates y((), z(() of the centerline, and thickness J(() ofthe profile. for the shear stresses, and u=u(x,() (4.29) (4.30) for the displacements, constant in the 'f/ direction. We note that assumptions (4.29) coincide with the assumptions (3.37) for the shear stresses due to shear forces (Sec tion 3.2). Defining now the shear flow t( () as J 8/2 t(() = O\"xC, d'f/, (4.31) -8/2 we obtain with (4.29h t(() = T(()J((). (4.32) From the equilibrium (in axial direction) of a small element cut from the thin-walled tube (Fig. 4.6), we see that t = T( ()8( () = const. , (4.33) provided there are no axial stresses (J xx' Thus, the largest shear stress occurs where the thickness is smallest, and vice versa. Of course, if the thickness is uniform, then the shear stress T is constant around the tube. In order to relate the shear flow to the torque M T acting on the tube, consider an element of length d( in the cross section: The total shear force acting on the element is t de, and the moment of this force about any point 0 is dMT = a(()td(, (4.34) in which a( () is the distance from 0 to the tangent to the centerline. The total torque then is MT = t f a(()d( = 2Amt, (4.35) where the integral represents double the area Am enclosed by the centerline of the tube. From this equation, we find MT t = T(()8(() = 2Am ' (4.36) and finally, 4.3 Thin-Walled Open Sections 79 Tmax = (4.37) Bredt's first formula. To determine a relation between torque M T and twist {}, we start from assump tion (4.30), and (4.38) With these displacements, we find ) 1 { dux } ex((( =\"2 d( + {}a(() , (4.39) and thus from Hooke's law (4.40) Integrating this expression over the entire length of the centerline yields f T(() d( = c{ f dux + {} f a(() d(}.

Therefore, the principal stresses are such that al = ixy (tensile) and a2 = ixy (compres sive). Furthermore, i xy is also the maximum shear stress. The point where a = al on the i-a diagram in Figure 8.44a is labeled as D. The angle between lines CA and CD is 90\u00b0, and it is equal to half of the angle of orientation of the plane with normal in one of the principal directions. Therefore, the planes of maximum and minimum normal stresses can be obtained by rotating the element in Figure 8.43b 45\u00b0 (clockwise). This is illustrated in Figure 8.44b. The lines that follow the directions of principal stresses are called the stress trajectories. As illustrated in Figure 8.45 for a circular cylinder subjected to pure torsion, the stress trajectories are in the form of helices making an angle 45\u00b0 (clockwise and counter clockwise) with the longitudinal axis of the cylinder.

Because of the high resistivity of the magnet material, the motor does not have any significant intemal time delay [35]. The response can be made essentially as rapid as the supply inverter can apply the appropriate phase currents. This rapid response can be achieved with a control system which is considerably simpler than the vector control discussed for induction motors. VII. SYNCHRONOUS-RELUCTANCE MOTORS Figure 14 shows a cross section of a simple two-pole synchronous reluctance motor [MI. The stator is identical with that of an induction or synchronous machine. A sinusoidally distributed rotating field is produced by a threephase set of sinusoidal stator currents in the windings. The rotor is shaped with a small air gap in the direct (d) axis and a large gap in the quadrature (4) axis. In addition, the rotor of this motor is made of iron laminations separated by nonmagnetic material to increase the reluctance to flux in the quadrature axis", " Power Factor The importance of the saliency ratio is emphasized by noting that the maximum power factor obtainable from the reluctance motor is equal to (A - l ) / (A + 1) requiring a ratio of A =I1 to reach a power factor of 0.85 [l]. To the extent that such high values of saliency are achieved, the performance of the reluctance motor can be made remarkably similar to that of an induction motor. The motor would be designed for continuous operation near the condition of maximum power factor. The rated torque would be in the range 0.54.6 of the maximum torque and the load angle 6 would be less than 45\". B . Configurations The type of rotor shown in Fig. 14 can achieve an unsaturated saliency ratio in the range 6 1 2 [45]-[47]. The effective saliency ratio will be decreased as the iron is magnetically saturated. This rotor can be made in a four- or six-pole configuration using appropriately bent laminations.

The neurons in a neuronal network are connected to each other in a complicated way. If they receive sufficient stimulation, they are able to fire off so-called action potentials (APs) which are transmitted to the next neuron, where they may cause another fire-off. A neuron normally receives APs from several other (precursor) neurons and then transmits its APs to several other (successor) neurons. A neuron is schematically represented in Figure 5.11. The number of precursor neurons from which the neuron receives APs, and which therefore influence its response, is known as the \u201creceptive field\u201d. The APs arriving from the neurons of the receptive field have varying impacts on the behavior of the neuron; they are weighted. This weighting can also be negative; that is, having an inhibiting effect on the neuron. Whether a neuron fires off an AP to its successors or not depends on the weighted sum of the incoming potential.

It confirms the linear relation (15) and yields e\u00a2 = 240 G Nm -z and go = 2 G Nm -2. It has been shown that the tensile curves of the second and higher extensions of an aramid fiber are well described by Eq. (17) [143]. A relation between the strain and the dynamic modulus has been derived, which agrees welt with the experimental results [151, 152]", " Presumably this is caused by the combination of the rigid nature of the chains, the high crystallinity of the structure and the hydrogen bonding between the chains. By investigating the structural changes during creep and stress relaxation Northolt et al. [191, 192] arrived at a model for viscoelastic extension of well-oriented fibers. In these fibers the dynamic compliance, S, was found to be linearly related to the orientation parameter (sin 2 q0) according to Eq. (15). Thus by measuring S during creep and stress relaxation the change of the orientation distribution can be monitored. The modified series model shown in Fig. 21 has been extended to include the viscoelastic behaviour. To this end the simple assumption is made that the time-dependent part of the creep strain arises solely from the rotation of the chains towards the direction of the fibre axis as a result of the shear deformation of the crystallites.

The circuit configuration of the SMSEIG involves a threephase induction machine with asymmetrically connected stator windings and externally connected impedances.

The key to understanding the situation actually is contained in Grove and NewelFs, Affleck's, and Aleev's papers but has not gained full attention. It is crucial to notice that the orientation of the whole tail at the heterocercal angle neces sarily directs the principal forward thrust produced by the tail action downwards by this angle. We may demonstrate the situation by considering a simple model (Fig. 3A-D). Take a rectangular plane as a model of the tail. If the plane is moved transversely through the water at an angle of inclination 0, there will be produced an oblique resultant force moving the tail with respect to the water (see Gray 1933 and Lighthill 1969) for detailed discussion). This force can be resolved as a forward (F ) and a transverse (T) thrust (Figure 3A). The relative magnitudes of F and T will depend on the value of 6 (F/T = cot 6). If the model is oriented with its long axis horizontal, the forward thrust will be directed horizontally. If it is raised at an angle (the heterocercal angle) from the horizontal, then the forward thrust F will be directed downwards; T remains transverse (Figure 3B). If the model is oriented horizontally but rotated along its long axis by angle rot (the angle of rotation), then the orientation of the forward thrust F will remain unchanged (i.e. direct along the long axis of the model); however, the transverse thrust T will produce a resultant that can be resolved into directly transverse (T\") and vertical (B) components (Figure 3C). The magnitudes T' and B are given by: T = T cos rot (1) B-T tan rot or B = T sine rot. (2) It will be noted that B is oriented perpen dicular to the long axis of the model. There fore, if the model is horizontal, B is vertical. If the model is again inclined at the hetero cercal angle het (Figure 3D) then B is inclined upward and forward at angle het from the vertical and can be resolved again to give a new vertical component B' = B cos het and an additional forward thrust C = B sine het. Therefore: B' = (T sine rot) (cos het) (3) and C = (T sine rot) (sinehet).

The subterminal lobe acts separately, with its own angle of rotation and the ventral hypochordal lobe (here present) acts separately with its own angles of ventral elevation, thrust and rotation. We will therefore continue the analysis, below, in terms of these three units. Analysis We may now proceed to a discussion of the major factors modifying the simple model of tail action given above. The ratio F/T.\u2014As shown in Figure 3A, the relationship between F and T is given by the angle of inclination of the tail. However, the angle of inclination changes during each stroke of the tail.

We begin with a discussion of the thermodynamic behavior induced by the effect of as as a prelude to constructing A& and thence the rate constants. The origin of the lattice strain is the same as in the case of the flat surface model, i.e., it is caused by repulsions of chain folds that cause a general expansion of the lattice", " ~ + ~ ~ ~ 1 ~ z ~ ~ ~ u . l ~ / ~ ~ (23c) When compared with eq 22b, the ratios Ao/B1 and A / B show that detailed balance holds. From eq 23a one finds properties of the model, we treat the limiting case where there is no term in u whatsoever. Thermodynamics of Bulk and Surface States. It is necessary to emphasize at the outset that because of the different geometry of the chains on the serrated surface, AG,, Tm\u2019, AT,, and T, differ from those for the flat surface model. (Note the definitions of a. and bo in Figure 2.) For simplicity, we take the stem to be square and note that then a. = 2bo. Observe that bo plays the role of a layer thickness. The lattice strain energy is calculated as 2- (21/2)bousl divided by 2b021 = 21/2u,/b0, which is also equal to 2(21/2)u,/ao. This is essentially the \u201cburied\u201d interfacial surface free energy divided by the volume of a stem and as before has the units of free energy per unit volume. As each stem is added to the surface during substrate completion, it incurs an interfacial energy of 21/2bo~sl for each of the sides in contact with the substrate because of the strain in the substrate; by this accounting a \u201cburied\u201d stem experiences a us effect totalling 2(21/2)bo~,2 or 21/2aOu,l", " By introducing a minimal degree of flat surface character into the model by inserting a term 2y0ul for the first stem in eq 22b, where y o is a small vertical distance (\u201cblunted corner\u201d) associated with a utype surface, the infinities in i and 6 are avoided even when u, - 0. For example, 6 in eq 28 then becomes k T l ( 2 - (21/2)boa, + 2y0u). The unique properties of the serrated model as given by eq 30 are still retained with this modification for a wide range of us values provided that you is rather smaller than boa,. Equation 30 holds irrespective of whether 6 = 0 or E = 1 (Table 111). In the serrated surface model with chains possessing a square cross section such that a. = 2bo as depicted in Figure 2, the nearest point of \u201cadjacent\u201d reentry during substrate completion is actually a rather distant secondnearest neighbor. In this version of the model, the interaction between two adjacent stems on the substrate would be quite weak. In the version of the model where the shape of the molecular cross section is adjusted so that a. = bo (which corresponds more closely, for instance, to the 200 front in polyethylene) the interactions between adjacent stems on the substrate are somewhat more like those occurring between normal nearest neighbors" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0002528_978-3-662-04117-8-Figure8.1-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0002528_978-3-662-04117-8-Figure8.1-1.png", "caption": "Figure 8.1: Backlash model", "texts": [ " Its appearance is quite common in control systems with mechanical connections (e.g. gears). In contrast to other nonlinearities in electro-mechanical control systems, e.g. friction or eccentricities, backlash acts as a structure switching nonlinearity. This means that during time periods when the two com ponents of the backlash containing mechanical parts do not engage, the whole system is split into two decoupled subsystems. This causes special problems in the control of such systems. A model of backlash is shown in figure 8.1. In this chapter we address the problem of identification of backlash. There are nu merous contributions in literature that deal with the problem of controlling sys tems containing backlash. Tao and Kokotovic [7, 8] propose an inverse backlash model to compensate the backlash nonlinearity. However, this concept assumes that backlash is located at either the input or the output of the system, and that the available control signal is able to provide both very high and stepwise amplitudes. In the control concepts in [1, 2, 4, 5] it must be known in advance, if a system contains backlash and if so, its magnitude", " The parameter TN is the normalizing time constant, mw is an additional disturbance torque. The signal fiow graph is valid if we assume that the motor is so inert that variations in the position CPl occur slower than the twisting speed of the shaft. This means that the shaft does not transfer torque before the backlash comes into engagement. Without restrictions in the following derivat ions we can set the ge ar transmission ratio i = 1. Using this common two-mass system description, it must be noted that the complicated mathematical characteristic of backlash, described in figure 8.1, now simplifies to a deadzone characteristic. This is because the two components of the part containing backlash only get into the state of disengagement, if the shaft is not twisted, i.e. if ICPl - CP21 < aB\u00b7 This feature is very important with respect to the identification with a neural network. We only use the neural network as part of our observer structure to learn an unknown static nonlinear function. Considering the characteristic in figure 8.1 we detect that this characteristic is contradictory to the mathematical definition of a function. Thus, such a backlash nonlinearity cannot be approximated by a neural network directly. However, in an elastie two~mass system of figure 8.3, baeklash only appears as a deadzone which in fact is a mathematical function and thus ean be learned by a neural network. To apply the method of the systematic observer design introduced in chapter 5, we have to use the plant's state space representation.

Narrow rectangular cross section Consider a bar subjected to torsion. Let the cross section of the bar be a solid rect angle with width b and depth h, where b \u00ab h.

The simple parabolic approximate form of T (Eq. 4.26) will give a good approx imation, since it differs from the true solution only in the small end zones. We may generalize Eq.

In this case solutions - or experimental findings - from one problem may be trans ferred to the other - analogous - problem. The most known analogy to the torsion problem of prismatic bars is that of a membrane (soap film) fixed on a closed boundary, having the same shape as the cross section of the torsion bar, where pressure is applied to one side of the membrane. We therefore refer e.g. to the textbook of Boresi, Schmidt & Sidebottom, Advanced Mechanics of Materials, 5th. Edition, John Wiley & Sons, N.Y. etc., 1993. 4.2 Thin-Walled Closed Cross Sections 77 4.2 Thin-Walled Closed Cross Sections In the preceding section, we have discussed torsion of prismatic bars with solid cross sections. In the following sections, we now will examine this problem with thin-walled cross sections. We maintain the assumptions of St. Venant's theory about the displacement com ponents (Eqs. 4.1, 4.2), and furthermore - for the moment - assume unrestrained warping 'IjJ(y, z) in the x direction. In Section 3.2, we discussed beams of thin walled cross sections subject to shear forces. From this section, we take the modi fied description of thin-walled cross sections, with cross-sectional centerline (mid dle line), and additional rectangular coordinates (, along the centerline and 'f/, per pendicular to (. Thus, the thin-walled cross section is described by the coordinates y((), z(() of the centerline, and thickness J(() ofthe profile. for the shear stresses, and u=u(x,() (4.29) (4.30) for the displacements, constant in the 'f/ direction. We note that assumptions (4.29) coincide with the assumptions (3.37) for the shear stresses due to shear forces (Sec tion 3.2). Defining now the shear flow t( () as J 8/2 t(() = O\"xC, d'f/, (4.31) -8/2 we obtain with (4.29h t(() = T(()J((). (4.32) From the equilibrium (in axial direction) of a small element cut from the thin-walled tube (Fig. 4.6), we see that t = T( ()8( () = const. , (4.33) provided there are no axial stresses (J xx' Thus, the largest shear stress occurs where the thickness is smallest, and vice versa. Of course, if the thickness is uniform, then the shear stress T is constant around the tube. In order to relate the shear flow to the torque M T acting on the tube, consider an element of length d( in the cross section: The total shear force acting on the element is t de, and the moment of this force about any point 0 is dMT = a(()td(, (4.34) in which a( () is the distance from 0 to the tangent to the centerline. The total torque then is MT = t f a(()d( = 2Amt, (4.35) where the integral represents double the area Am enclosed by the centerline of the tube. From this equation, we find MT t = T(()8(() = 2Am ' (4.36) and finally, 4.3 Thin-Walled Open Sections 79 Tmax = (4.37) Bredt's first formula. To determine a relation between torque M T and twist {}, we start from assump tion (4.30), and (4.38) With these displacements, we find ) 1 { dux } ex((( =\"2 d( + {}a(() , (4.39) and thus from Hooke's law (4.40) Integrating this expression over the entire length of the centerline yields f T(() d( = c{ f dux + {} f a(() d(}. (4.41) The first integral of the right hand side vanishes (continuity of u x), and thus with Eq. (4.36), we finally arrive at 2 {f d( }-l Jr = 4Am 8(() , (4.42) Bredt's second formula. If in Eq.

Kashiyama developed twin-screw compressor with square-threaded rotor for the vacuum system and distinguished from the conventional one by the extra large wrap angle except the tooth profile.

One of the greatest concern of manufacturing of helical gear drives (with parallel axes) is the edge contact of tooth surfaces that is caused by misalignment. At present, a t tempts to avoid edge contact are based on providing chamfers of the tooth surfaces of the gears that may be obtained by modification of the profile of the cutting hobs. The zones of tooth surfaces with chamfers and zones with conventional screw involute surfaces are not connected smoothly, in many cases the magnitude of required chamfers is not determined analytically, and the edge contact is not avoided. The finishing process of helical gears with chamfers is a complicated one. The existing design has to be complemented with TCA (tooth contact analysis). These are the reasons why a new topology of modified helical gear tooth surfaces with involute and crowned zones is proposed. An involute zone is provided in the central area of gear tooth surfaces that will allow line contact if misalignment does not occur. Zones at the top, bottom, front, and back sides of tooth surfaces are crowned and allows localization of the bearing contact when misalignments occur. Crowned zones with smooth connections to the involute zone are obtained as the result of profile and longitudinal crowning. The function of transmission errors is provided at each cycle of meshing as the sum of three branches. Two branches of a parabolic function at the extremes of the cycle of meshing are in tangency with the middle branch of zero transmission errors.

I N T R O D U C T I O N\nCrowning of gear tooth surfaces is important for design of misaligned gears for improvement of the bearing contact and reduction of noise [1].\nAmong of different cutting methods of gear teeth like hobbing, milling, or shaping, hobbing is the most broadly applied due to its high productivity and low cost [2]. Figure la shows a hob for standard cutting and Figure lb illustrates the three motions required for the generating process: two rotational motions of the pinion blank and the hob, and the feed motion of the hob. Heat t reatment of gear tooth surfaces (performed after rough cutting) is required in many applications of gear drives. Then, a finishing process becomes necessary for elimination of distortions of tooth surfaces. Among the existing finishing processes, grinding is the preferable one due to its high accuracy [2]. Grinding by a worm-shape tool (see below) is an extension of the finishing of process of gears.\nThere is a tendency at present in application of hobs with a modified shape, for instance, of hobs that may produce a chamfer, cutting out the tip of the gear tooth (Figure 2). For this reason, the hob tooth is designed with a ramp. It is expected that the tool designer is familiar with the tooth element proportions and the applied design parameters such as the module, helix angle, shape of the chamfer, etc.\nChamfers on the top, front, and back sides of gear teeth are provided to avoid edge contact that may occur on the respective tooth part due to gear misalignment. Existence of chamfers complicates the finishing process, but this inconvenience has to be accepted.\nProviding of chamfers should not be considered as the indulgence of ignoring of possible existence of singularities in the zone between the chamfers and involute part of tooth surfaces.\nThe authors propose application for the finishing process of a worm-shape tool (Figure 3) that enables to obtain a modified regular tooth surface, avoid areas of severe contact stresses, and", "Topology of Modified Surfaces\n1065\nabsorb t r ansmiss ion errors, if they occur.

Let us now think about three-dimensional rotations of a point P around a line with a direction cosine of l, m and n. P* is the new position of P after rotation O.

In the modeling of the zero position, the machine zero position and the coordinate system are defined before defining the unit vector of each axis. The unit vector from Fig. 4. is defined as follows (Table 2): [l,m,n] are the direction cosines of individual axis in the reference coordinate system. The rows 0-4 are for the five axes of the machine. The above model is for the ideal case. According to Table 2, the X-axis should pass through the point Po [Po~, Poy, Poz] with a direction cosine [1,0,0]. If Pot is the real point [Po#:Por] through which the X-axis passes then aPo = Oi + (Pyor-eyo) j + (Pzor-Pzo)k (17) where APoy=(Py:Poy) and APo~--(Po=--Poz) are small deviations in the position of the origin in the base Y- and Z-directions, respectively.

Due to the same claw-shape design in example 1 and the patents, we will represent example 1 as the patent design.

Our results then verify the accuracy of the rotor design. The performance and sealing properties will be discussed in the following sections. When area efficiency increases, the pump exhaust also increases. Therefore, one common method for estimating pump performance is to calculate the area efficiency by integration. That is to say, if the rotor tooth profile consists of multiple segment curves, each segment must be integrated and then summed to give the area of the rotor", " The calculated results of these three examples are shown in Table 2, and the area efficiency in example 1 is lower than that in examples 2 and 3. The result shows the length of line of action in example 1 is the shortest because the sealing line between the mating rotors is not continuous as shown in Fig. 11d. Figs. 11\u201313 illustrate the inappropriateness of the design in example 1. In Fig. 11b, if we move the screw rotor to a certain angle, an obvious clearance may appear, indicating that the design of this example is inferior. However, in Fig. 12d and Fig. 13d, the lines of action are continuous; there is no clearance between the mating rotors in Fig. 12b and Fig. 13b. Thus, the designs in examples 2 and 3 are better than that in example 1. In contrast to the design in example 2, using a curve with shortened epicycloid for the tooth profile in example 3 can improve pump performance. By comparison of these two examples, it shows that their area efficiencies are approximate but the line of action in example 3 is shorter than that in example 2.

The benefit of such a golf ball, which has high spin rates for the high-lofted irons and relatively low spin rates for the driver, is that it would allow the good golfer control around the greens without loss in the drive distance. After the golf ball leaves the clubhead its motion is governed by the force of gravity and the aerodynamic forces that are exerted on it by the air. This section will look at the various aerodynamic measurements that have been carried out on golf balls. Figure 7(a) shows the basic features of the air flow pattern around a golf ball. The separation point is the position where the boundary layer, which is the thin air layer dragged by the surface of the ball, separates from the surface. In the figure shown, the boundary layer separates just downstream of the sphere\u2019s mid-section. The wake that is created is a region of relatively low pressure and the resulting pressure difference between the forward and rearward regions results in a pressure drag on the body", " The corresponding decrease in the size of the wake is very evident in the photographs they present. The effect of dimples on a golf ball is further highlighted by Fox and McDonald (1992) who obtained samples of golf balls without dimples. The average drive distance of these balls in tests was only 125 yards compared to 215 yards for dimpled golf balls. A spinning golf ball travelling through the air will have, in addition to drag, a force perpendicular to the ball\u2019s velocity, commonly referred to as lift. Figure 7(b) shows the airflow pattern around a spinning golf ball, in this case equivalent to a golf ball travelling to the left with backspin. As is shown in the figure, the boundary layer is dragged around by the spinning ball and the separation point is delayed on the upper surface while occurring earlier on the lower surface. The photographs of Aoki et al (1999) clearly show the separation point shifting downstream at the top of the spinning ball and shifting upstream at the bottom. The resulting differences in the air flow speeds over the top and bottom surfaces will result in a net upward force, or lift, being exerted on the golf ball" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0003304_j.mcm.2004.10.028-Figure6-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0003304_j.mcm.2004.10.028-Figure6-1.png", "caption": "Figure 6.

Electrocatalytic reduction of H2O2 at the multilayer film electrode containing HRP and PVP\u2013Os The catalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide at the multilayer films containing HRP can be seen clearly in Fig. 4. In the absence of H2O2, the peroxidase contributes no response and only a typical oxidation and reduction peak of mediator (PVP\u2013Os) is observed (Fig. 4 (a)). After adding hydrogen peroxide to the above solution, a dramatic change was produced in the cyclic voltammograms, with an increase in cathodic currents and a concomitant decrease in anodic currents. At slow scan speeds (5 mV/s) the anodic peak disappears almost completely and the cathodic peak increase largely (Fig. 4 (b)). Comparison of the voltammograms with and without the adding of H2O2 illustrates that the PVP\u2013Os can effectively mediate electron transfer between peroxidase in the multilayer films and the gold electrode surface.

Each was asked to produce three sets of relatively high initial angle, normal and relatively low initial-angle throws, respectively, all at maximum effort, and each used the standard rotary throwing technique. A 200 Hz video (ExpertVision, Santa Rosa, California) motion analysis system was used to determine initial release angle, speed, height and horizontal distance for each throw as described below. A straight desired throwing line (the x-axis of a second coordinate system; see Fig. 2) was laid out on the ground bisecting the throwing circle with origin also at the center of the inner board edge. The single camera was levelled and placed at a distance c0 (approximately 2.5 m) from, and with its axis perpendicular to, this line so that its field of view encompassed release and the beginning of flight (Fig. 2). Initial 2-D calibration of the camera relied on a calibration object in the xy plane. Throwers were instructed to throw so that both the release position and initial velocity vector lay in this plane. Even with assistance and feedback, however, the throwers found it very difficult to (and never did) release the shot exactly in the desired plane or in the correct direction. The implications of this on scaling are discussed further below. Camera data were first processed, using the (naive) 2-D assumption that the throw occurred in the xy plane", " Thus, an alternate scaling method using this data was developed to produce more accurate estimates for release conditions. The basic idea is to include parameters in the model which account for the major error sources due to scaling, and to use video and range data to estimate release conditions and error sources simultaneously, thus removing their effects from the calculated release conditions. This technique is an example of using accurate non-image-related information to correct out-of-plane errors (Sih et al., 2001). Consider Fig. 2. Initial calibration determines a nominal scale factor s0 (meters per pixel), which applies only to motion in the calibration plane. However, the general throw was neither released in the desired xy plane, nor was its x0y0 flight plane parallel to it.

With reference to Fig. 4, the points Ai, i=1,2,3, are the spherical pair centers and the point C is the point the revolute pair axes converge towards. The point C is fixed in the base. Moreover, Sb is a reference system fixed in the base and Sp is a reference system fixed in the platform. nloaded From: http://proceedings.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/ on 02/02/2016 Te Figure 5 shows the i-th leg, i=1,2,3, of the 3-RRS wrist. According to Fig. 5, w1i and \u03b81i are respectively the axis unit vector and the joint coordinate of the revolute pair adjacent to the base and w2i and \u03b82i are respectively the axis unit vector and the joint coordinate of the revolute pair not adjacent to the base. The point Bi is the foot of the perpendicular through Ai to the axis of the revolute pair not adjacent to the base. The point Di is the foot of the perpendicular through Bi to the axis of the revolute pair adjacent to the base. The geometric parameters ai, bi, di and hi are the lengths of the segments AiC, BiC, BiDi and AiBi respectively. Moreover, the link adjacent to the base is named 1i and the link adjacent to the platform is named 2i. Since the points Ai, Bi and C are fixed in the link 2i (see Fig. 5) the lengths ai, bi and hi are constant. Therefore when the revolute pairs adjacent to the base are actuated and the platform moves the three points Ai, i=1,2,3, fixed in the platform, are constrained to move on concentric spheres whose center is C and whose radii are respectively ai, i=1,2,3. This condition and the manufacturing conditions (ii) and (iii) lead to the conclusion that the 3-RRS wrist's platform always satisfies the hypotheses of statement (1). Hence, the 3-RRS wrist's platform can exclusively accomplish spherical motions with center C, i.e., the 3-RRS wrist is a spherical parallel manipulator. The position analysis consists in the solution of two 4 rm Copyright \u00a9 2002 by ASME s of Use: http://www.asme.org/about-asme/terms-of-use Dow problems: the direct position analysis (DPA) and the inverse position analysis (IPA). The direct position analysis of the 3-RRS wrist is the determination of the platform orientations compatible with given values of the actuated joint coordinates \u03b81i, i=1,2,3, (Fig. 5). The inverse position analysis of the 3-RRS wrist is the determination of the actuated joint coordinate values compatible with a given platform orientation. In the implementation of these two problems the base point C can be also considered fixed in the platform since the platform accomplishes spherical motions with center C. Since the actuated joint coordinates have to assume given values, the revolute pairs adjacent to the base can be considered locked. If the actuated revolute pairs are locked, the 3-RRS wrist becomes the 3-RS structure shown in Fig", " Therefore the DPA reduces to find the possible assembly configurations of the 3-RS structure. The closure equations of the 3-RS structure can be written as follows [Rbp p(Ai \u2212 C) + b(C \u2212 Bi)] 2 = hi 2, i=1,2,3 (12) where Rbp is the rotation matrix that transforms the vector components measured in Sp into the vector components measured in Sb and the left-hand superscript p or b added to a vector indicates the reference system, Sp or Sb respectively, the vector is measured in. Expanding Eqs. (12) yields the following relationships (see Fig. 5) ai 2 + bi 2 + 2 b(C \u2212 Bi) \u22c5 [Rbp p(Ai \u2212 C)] = hi 2 i=1,2,3 (13) Equations (13) are linear in the entries of the Rbp matrix. Therefore, if the Rbp rotation matrix entries are expressed by using the three Rodrigues parameters [11], Eqs. (13) will become a three quadratic equation system in three unknowns: the values of the three Rodrigues parameters. In the literature, two procedures [12-13] have been presented for solving a three quadratic equation system in three unknowns. Both these procedures show that the Sylvester eliminant of such a system is an univariate eight degree polynomial with real coefficients", " The N matrix definition (23.1) leads to the following expression for det(N) det(N) = n1\u22c5(n2\u00d7n3) (24) where ni = (Ai \u2212 C) \u00d7 w2i, i=1,2,3 (25) Therefore, the rotation singularities occur whenever the 3-RRS wrist configuration satisfies the following singularity condition n1\u22c5(n2\u00d7n3) = 0 (26) Condition (26) is verified when the three vectors ni, i=1,2,3, are all parallel to a single plane. Since the three vector ni, i=1,2,3, are respectively perpendicular to the three planes of the triangles AiBiC, i=1,2,3, (see Fig. 5), condition (26) is verified when the intersection of these three planes is a straight line through C (Fig. 7). In fact, when this happens, the ni 6 Copyright \u00a9 2002 by ASME erms of Use: http://www.asme.org/about-asme/terms-of-use Dow vectors are all parallel to every single plane perpendicular to that intersection line. The H matrix is singular when its determinant vanishes. Since the H matrix is diagonal, its determinant is the product of its three diagonal entries and vanishes when at least one of them vanishes. Definition (23.2) inspection reveals that the i-th diagonal entry vanishes when the i-th leg is fully extended or folded, i.e., when the points Ai, Bi and Di (Fig. 5) lie on the same plane. Hence, the leg singularities occur when the 3-RRS wrist configuration has at least one leg fully extended or folded. In this paper a new three-equal-legged spherical parallel manipulator, named 3-RRS wrist, has been presented. The 3- RRS wrist is not overconstrained and exhibits a very simple architecture employing just three passive revolute pairs, three passive spherical pairs and three actuated revolute pairs adjacent to the frame.

Our results then verify the accuracy of the rotor design. The performance and sealing properties will be discussed in the following sections. When area efficiency increases, the pump exhaust also increases. Therefore, one common method for estimating pump performance is to calculate the area efficiency by integration. That is to say, if the rotor tooth profile consists of multiple segment curves, each segment must be integrated and then summed to give the area of the rotor", " 18, which provides a lateral view of these three examples, indicates no blowhole phenomenon between the chamber and the tooth profile tip in example 1 but does show a blowhole phenomenon for examples 2 and 3, whose identical design in the claw-shape of the rotor may affect pump efficiency. The calculated results of these three examples are shown in Table 2, and the area efficiency in example 1 is lower than that in examples 2 and 3. The result shows the length of line of action in example 1 is the shortest because the sealing line between the mating rotors is not continuous as shown in Fig. 11d.

Applications of Statics to Biomechanics 105 How would the muscle and hip joint reaction forces vary if the per son is carrying a load of Wo in each hand during single-leg stance (Figure 5.29)? The free-body diagram of the upper body while the person is carrying a load of Wo in each hand is shown in Figure 5.30. The system to be analyzed consists of the upper body of the per son (including the left leg) and the loads carried in each hand. To counterbalance both the rotational and translational (down ward) effects of the extra loads, the hip abductor muscles will ex ert additional forces, and there will be larger compressive forces generated at the hip joint. In this case, the number of forces is five. The gravitational pull on the upper body (W2) and on the masses carried in the hands (Wo) form a parallel force system. If these parallel forces can be replaced by a single resultant force, then the number of forces can be reduced to three, and the problem can be solved by ap plying the same technique explained above (Solution 2). For this purpose, consider the force system shown in Figure 5.31. M and N correspond to the right and left hands of the person where external forces of equal magnitude (Wo) are applied. G is the center of gravity of the upper body including the left leg. The vertical dashed line shows the symmetry axis (midline) of the person in the frontal plane, and G is located to the left of this axis. Note that the distance \u00a3} between M and G is greater than the distance \u00a32 between Nand G. If \u00a3}, \u00a32, W2, and Wo are given, then a new center of gravity (G') can be determined by applying the technique of finding the center of gravity of a sys tem composed of a number of parts whose centers of gravity are known (see Section 5.14). By intuition, G' is located somewhere between the symmetry axis and G. In other words, G' is closer to the right hip joint, and, therefore, the length of the moment arm of the total weight as measured from the right hip joint is shorter as compared to the case when there is no load carried in the hands. On the other hand, the magnitude of the resultant gravitational force is W3 = W2 + 2Wo, which overcompensates for the advantage gained by the reduction of the moment arm. Once the new center of gravity of the upper body is determined, including the left leg and the loads carried in each hand, Eqs. (xi) and (xi i) can be utilized to calculate the resultant force exerted by the hip abductor muscles and the reaction force generated at the hip joint: F _ cos' (W2+2WO) M - cos () sin ' - sin () cos ' I : I: M I' N + :1 ~ Wo I Wo 11 I W2 12 106 Fundamentals of Biomechanics and by replacing the angle 1> that the line of action of the joint reaction force makes with the horizontal with the new angle 1>' (Figure 5.32). 1>' is slightly larger than 1> because of the shift of the center of gravity from G to G' toward the right of the person. Also, it is assumed that the angle () between the line of action of the muscle force and the horizontal remains unchanged. What happens if the person is carrying a load of Wo in the left hand during a right-leg stance (Figure 5.33)? Assuming that the system we are analyzing consists of the upper body, left leg, and the load in hand, the extra load Wo carried in the left hand will shift the center of gravity of the system from G to G\" toward the left of the person. Consequently, the length of the lever arm of the total gravitational force W4 = W2 + Wo as measured from the right hip joint (Figure 5.34) will increase. This will require larger hip abductor muscle forces to counter balance the clockwise rotational effect of W4 and also increase the compressive forces at the right hip joint. It can be observed from the geometry of the system analyzed that a shift in the center of gravity from G to G\" toward the left of the person will decrease the angle between the line of action of the joint reaction force and the horizontal from 1> to 1>\". For the new configuration of the free-body shown in Fig ure 5.34, Eqs.

COMMUTATOR MOTORS Commutator motors (also known as direct-current motors) have been widely used for variable-speed drives. Because of their long history, it is convenient to begin with an examination of these to establish a basis of comparison for the variable-frequency machine types to be di:scussed later. Figure 2 shows a cross section of a typical machine. Around the outer structure, a number of iron poles project inward from a cylindrical iron yoke. Current in a field coil encircling each of the poles produces a magnetic flux in 1124 the air gap between the pole and the central armature, the flux returning through adjacent oppositely directed poles. The armature is made of iron laminations and has axially directed slots in its outer surface to accommodate currentcarrying conductors. The coils of the armature winding are connected to a commutator or segmented mechanical switch mounted on the shaft", " For example, for a motor with a continuous rating of 50 kW at 2000 r/min (209 rad/s) with a cooling coefficient of 50 W/m2 . \"C, a temperature rise of 6OoC and an equivalent depth of armature conductor of 10 mm, the linear current density could be about 40 A/mm and the rotor dimensions might be chosen at about T = 95 mm and C = 190 mm. In addition to the loss in the armature winding, the commutator motor has losses in the iron laminations of the rotor core, conductor losses in the field coils, and in other compensating and commutating pole windings on the stator (not shown in Fig. 2), losses in the voltage drop of approximately 2 V in the commutator, loss due to friction at the bearings and commutator, and loss due to windage. Typical values for the efficiency of fully loaded 5 to 150 kW motors might be in the range 83 to 93% [2], [4]. Armature winding loss varies from 60% of the total loss for small motors to about 35% for large ones. C.

In the following sections, we now will examine this problem with thin-walled cross sections. We maintain the assumptions of St. Venant's theory about the displacement com ponents (Eqs. 4.1, 4.2), and furthermore - for the moment - assume unrestrained warping 'IjJ(y, z) in the x direction. In Section 3.2, we discussed beams of thin walled cross sections subject to shear forces. From this section, we take the modi fied description of thin-walled cross sections, with cross-sectional centerline (mid dle line), and additional rectangular coordinates (, along the centerline and 'f/, per pendicular to (. Thus, the thin-walled cross section is described by the coordinates y((), z(() of the centerline, and thickness J(() ofthe profile. for the shear stresses, and u=u(x,() (4.29) (4.30) for the displacements, constant in the 'f/ direction. We note that assumptions (4.29) coincide with the assumptions (3.37) for the shear stresses due to shear forces (Sec tion 3.2). Defining now the shear flow t( () as J 8/2 t(() = O\"xC, d'f/, (4.31) -8/2 we obtain with (4.29h t(() = T(()J(().

Of course, if the thickness is uniform, then the shear stress T is constant around the tube. In order to relate the shear flow to the torque M T acting on the tube, consider an element of length d( in the cross section: The total shear force acting on the element is t de, and the moment of this force about any point 0 is dMT = a(()td(, (4.34) in which a( () is the distance from 0 to the tangent to the centerline. The total torque then is MT = t f a(()d( = 2Amt, (4.35) where the integral represents double the area Am enclosed by the centerline of the tube.

Gripping forces are transmitted in a similar way to the gripping-force-sensitive elements (Figure 6.12b). Both elements transform the forces into deflections, causing the free end of the optical fiber to move relative to the fixed one.

However, when crossing co-regular surfaces in C (or critical value manifolds in W), the homotopy class of the self-motion can change, and consequently, the physical motion of the links can change as well. This phenomenon can be demonstrated by considering a 7 R arm which is formed by adding a 3R wrist (with finite hand length) to the 4R manipulator of Figure 5 (additional kinematic parameters Q4 = 1r/2, Q5 = -1r/2, Q6 = 1r/2, as = as = a7 = 0, d5 = d6 = 0, d7 finite).

Initially the design of the invented gear drives was based on application of worms provided by axial profiles as straight lines. The worms have been designed as helicoids of a constant lead angle. Investigation of the invented gear drives has been performed by Saari and his followers [13,14], Goldfarb and coworkers [3,4], Dudas [1] and other researchers [12]. Spiroid worm gear drives have been discussed as well in the Gear Handbook [16]. New modification of the face-gear drives have been proposed by Litvin and coworkers [8\u201311].

PII: S0045-7825 (02 )00235-9 The generation of face worm gear drives of all types of existing design is based on application of a hob for generation of the face-gear. The hob is similar to the worm of the drive. The disadvantage of such method of generation is the low precision of a hob used as a generating tool especially in the case of small dimensions of hob. The new geometry proposed in this article is based on application of head-cutters or head grinding tools that have higher precision and larger dimensions in comparison with a hob and enable to provide a higher productivity of the process of generation. The gear drives of new geometry may be generated similar to the generation of spiral bevel gears and hypoid gears [7,15]. The proposed new face worm gear drives (with conical and cylindrical worms) are provided with a localized bearing contact and predesigned parabolic function of transmission errors of low level. Such a function is able to absorb discontinuous linear functions of transmission errors caused by errors of alignment [8,9]. Therefore vibrations and noise of gear drives might be reduced. The localization of bearing contact is achieved by the mismatch of surfaces of generating head tools applied for generation of the face worm gear and the worm. Figs. 1 and 2 show in 3D space face worm gear drives with conical and cylindrical worms that have been investigated in this paper. The proposed new design of a face-gear drive is based on adaptation of the design parameters of a similar gear drive of existing design (based on generation of face-gear by a hob). This allows to build a bridge between both designs but affects as shown in Section 2 the dimensions of applied head cutters. The contents of the paper cover: (i) generation and analytical determination of tooth surfaces of the face-gear and the worm; (ii) simulation of meshing and contact; (iii) stress analysis. The developed theory is illustrated with numerical examples. The determination of conjugation of tooth surfaces of proposed gear drive required the application of theory of enveloping that is the subject of differential geometry and theory of gearing represented in the works by Zalgaller [17], Zalgaller and Litvin [18], Favard [2], Korn and Korn [6], Litvin [8,9], and other works." ] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0002969_a:1026100913269-Figure1-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0002969_a:1026100913269-Figure1-1.png", "caption": "Fig. 1.

Different materials demonstrate different stress-strain relation ships, and the stress-strain diagrams of two or more materi als can be compared to determine which material is relatively stiffer, harder, tougher, more ductile, and/ or more brittle. Before explaining these concepts related to the strength of materials, it is appropriate to first analyze a typical stress-strain diagram in detail. Consider the stress-strain diagram shown in Figure 7.12. There are six distinct points on the curve that are labeled as 0, P, E, Y, V, and R. Point 0 is the origin of the a\u00b7\u00b7E diagram, which cor responds to the initial no load, no deformation stage. Point P represents the proportionality limit.

The offset method is applied by drawing a line parallel to the linear section of the stress-strain diagram and passing through a strain level of about 0.2 percent (0.002). The intersection of this line with the O'-E curve is taken to be the yield point, and the stress corresponding to this point is called the apparent yield strength of the material.

As for the geometry of the cutting tool, we focus on the geometric definition of a generalized cutting tool (also known as APTlike cutter) in this article. Then, the most commonly used tools, such as the ball-end and fillet-end cutter, will be derived based on the defined cutter geometry. Fig. 2 shows the geometric definition of a generalized cutter. Considering the envelope theory [5,6], to make the instantaneous tool velocity and surface normal valid, there are two limitations: (a) the boundary surfaces of the tool are C1-continuous (regular surfaces, non-degenerate case), (b) the cutter motion trajectory (NC-path) is C1-continuous or piecewise C1-continuous. In the following derivations the control point C(t) is considered to be located at an offset distance of h from the NC control point to the center of the toroidal surface along the axis A(t) (see Fig. 2). Allowing such an offset is necessary especially for the different NC programming definitions. For instance, the control point is sometimes located at the cutter tip, sometimes defined at the pivot point.

From the comparison between the simulation result and experimental data, it shows that the model can simulate the working process of a twin square-threaded screw pump successfully.

Due to the same claw-shape design in example 1 and the patents, we will represent example 1 as the patent design. Figs. 8\u201310 represent the design results and locus of examples 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Figs. 11\u201313 illustrate the screw rotors in examples 1, 2 and 3, respectively. As shown in Fig. 11c, Fig. 12c and Fig. 13c, we can verify our drawings by calculating the equation of the line of action and then draw it out onto the screw rotor surface where it adheres. Our results then verify the accuracy of the rotor design. The performance and sealing properties will be discussed in the following sections. When area efficiency increases, the pump exhaust also increases. Therefore, one common method for estimating pump performance is to calculate the area efficiency by integration. That is to say, if the rotor tooth profile consists of multiple segment curves, each segment must be integrated and then summed to give the area of the rotor", " The calculated results of these three examples are shown in Table 2, and the area efficiency in example 1 is lower than that in examples 2 and 3. The result shows the length of line of action in example 1 is the shortest because the sealing line between the mating rotors is not continuous as shown in Fig. 11d. Figs. 11\u201313 illustrate the inappropriateness of the design in example 1. In Fig. 11b, if we move the screw rotor to a certain angle, an obvious clearance may appear, indicating that the design of this example is inferior. However, in Fig. 12d and Fig. 13d, the lines of action are continuous; there is no clearance between the mating rotors in Fig. 12b and Fig. 13b. Thus, the designs in examples 2 and 3 are better than that in example 1. In contrast to the design in example 2, using a curve with shortened epicycloid for the tooth profile in example 3 can improve pump performance. By comparison of these two examples, it shows that their area efficiencies are approximate but the line of action in example 3 is shorter than that in example 2.

The lighter regions correspond to constructive interference at a particular wavelength and the darker regions to destructive interference. (This is quite similar to the fringes of equal chromatic order produced in the mica\u2013mica contact described earlier.) This image can then be processed in two ways. One is simply to determine the wavelength of maximum constructive interference in the central region of the contact, by determining an intensity versus wavelength curve across a central strip of the contact, as shown in Fig. 7, and hence finding the wavelength of maximum constructive interference. From this the mean thickness of the central oil film plus spacer layer film can then be determined using equation (2a).

Development of hybrid sensor The hybrid sensor consists of two pO2 optodes (fiber-optic xygen microsensors), which are based on the luminescence uenching of fluorescence molecules by oxygen [19]. The gluose sensitive optode (Fig. 2A) is obtained by the coating of ommercially available pO2 optode with the layer containing mmobilized enzyme GOX and an outer membrane. The oxyen indicator serves in that case as transducer for the rate at hich oxygen is consumed during the enzymatic oxidation. An uter layer acts as diffusion barrier for the glucose molecules. It akes sure that the sensor response is mass transfer rather than nzyme kinetically limited. The reference oxygen optode, shown in Fig. 2B, is the same ommercially available pO2 optode which is used as transducer or the glucose sensor. However, it is coated with an additional embrane which has a protective function but serves also as an ptical isolation due to carbon black particles inside the memrane. In the hybrid sensor the both optodes are in the close proximty which enables the crosstalk between them. Optical isolation f at least one optode (in our case the oxygen reference optode) is herefore required to circumvent this interference" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0002719_978-1-4757-3067-8-Figure14.9-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0002719_978-1-4757-3067-8-Figure14.9-1.png", "caption": "Figure 14.9 Force F applied on the wrench produces a clockwise torque about the centerline of the bolt.", "texts": [ "0) = 1246 N Therefore, at the very end of the ski jump track, air resistance is applying a horizontal force of Rl = 105 N to retard the motion of the skier and the track is applying a vertical force of R2 = 1246 N on the skis.

The mathematical definition of torque is the same as that of moment, studied in detail in Chapter 3. Consider the bolt and wrench arrangement illustrated in Figure 14.9. Force F applied on the wrench rotates the wrench, which advances the bolt into the wall by rotating it in the clockwise direction. The magnitude of torque M due to force F about 0 is: M = r Ft = r F sin 0. (54) ASSIGNMENT mn is obtained uniquely above.

In real plants the non-circularity of the winders can lead to undesired oscillations of the tension force, which lead to problems in controlling the output thickness of the material behind the roll bite. Such eccentricities can be caused for example by clamping the steel. This fact leads to an elevation at the clamping point which can also be seen, when furt her material is wound up (figure 9.3). The aim in this context is to identify the radius with respect to the angle position online. Based on this knowledge, a compensation algorithm can be implemented to damp the oscillations. Figure 9.3 shows a possible form of the eccentricity for one rotation in case of the rewinder where an additional increase of the mean value of the radius can be seen. This means, that there is a time-variant disturbance which has to be identified. It must be noted that this is only a possible form of eccentricity which is used for simulation in this case.

An example of such a system is the double pendulum shown in Figure 13.27. A double pendulum consists of two bars hinged together and to the ground. Linkage systems are also known as multilink systems. If the angular velocity and acceleration of individual parts are known, then the principles of relative motion can be applied to analyze the motion characteristics of each part constituting the multilink system. The following example will illustrate the procedure of analyzing the motion of a double pendulum. How ever, the procedure to be introduced can be generalized to ana lyze any multilink system", " An important concept associated with linkage systems is the number of independent coordinates necessary to describe the motion characteristics of the parts constituting the system. The number of independent parameters required defines the degrees of freedom of the system. For example, the two-dimensional motion characteristics of the simple pendulum shown in Figure 13.28 can be fully described by 0 that defines the loca tion of the pendulum uniquely. Therefore, a simple pendulum has one degree of freedom. On the other hand, parameters 01 and O2 are necessary to analyze the coplanar motion of bar BC of the double pendulum shown in Figure 13.27, and therefore, a double pendulum has two degrees of freedom. Example 13.4 Double pendulum. Assume that arms AB and BC of the double pendulum shown in Figure 13.29 are undergoing coplanar motion.

Chemical species formed in substrate conversion by microbes.", "texts": [ "1 Microbiological basis Although microbial sensors have been intensively studied, little knowledge is available about the biochemical mechanisms. The physiology of microorganisms used in the microbial sensor is characterized by conditions of extreme nutrient limitation. The metabolism is in a \u2018stand-by\u2019 state so as to guarantee the survival of the cell. These physiological limitation conditions determine both the stability and sensitivity of biosensors. In general, the microbial cell has been simply considered as a black box (Fig. 1) . The substrate of interest is degraded by the microbial cell, metabolic products are formed and oxygen is consumed under aerobic conditions. The microbial cell envelope forms a diffusion barrier. Solutes can pass only via specific translocation systems, either with an active transport system or by facilitated diffusion; passive transport by diffusion is of minor importance. Active Process control of microbiul sensors 87 transport, which allows accumulation of substrates against a concentration gradient, requires highly specific carrier proteins and consumes metabolic energy", " The expression of most transport systems is regulated at the level of transcription of the genes encoding the systems. Induction or derepression is observed when the presence or absence of given substances demands a new transport activity. In contrast, facilitated diffusion does not need metabolic energy. After the uptake the substrate is degraded specifically by the metabolic sequences of the enzyme networks of the microbial cell. In general, the microbial species chosen for biosensor development must fulfil at least one of the two criteria (see Fig. 1): (i) aerobic uptake of oxygen in the respiratory process for assimilation of the substrates (in this case the microbial sensor is constructed by coupling the microorganisms with an amperometric oxygen electrode); or (ii) electrode-active products liberated derived from reactions of the microbial metabolism, e.g. protons, ammonium ions, H2S, CO, and H,Oz, which can be detected by potentiometric or amperometric electrodes. Almost all microorganisms used for the construction of microbial sensors, e.g. bacteria, fungi (including yeasts and actinomycetes) and algae (see Table 1) have been assessed according to these criteria. 2.2 Physical basis of the transducer The optimal choice of transducer will depend on the products and substrates involved in the biocatalytic process (Fig. 1). It should be highly specific for the indicated species and respond rapidly within the chosen concentration range. 2.2.1 Poteritiometric electrodes These operate under equilibrium conditions. Ions in solutions are quantified as a result of changes in electrode potential brought about by association with a sensing membrane.

Consider the solid circular shaft shown in Figure 8.30. The shaft has a length f and a radius r o. AB represents a straight line on the outer surface of the shaft that is parallel to its centerline. Note that a plane passing through the centerline and cutting the shaft into two semicylinders is called a longitudinal plane, and a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal planes is called a transverse plane (plane abcd in Figure 8.32). In this case, line AB lies along one of the longitudinal planes. The shaft is mounted to the wall at one end, and a twisting torque with magnitude M is applied at the other end (shown in Figure 8.30 with a double-headed ar row). Owing to the externally applied torque, the shaft deforms in such a way that the straight line AB is twisted into a helix AB'. The deformation at A is zero because the shaft is fixed at that end. The extent of deformation increases in the direction from the fixed end toward the free end", " This variation is such that the deformation is zero at the center, increases toward the rim, and reaches a maximum on the outer surface.

This condition re quires the presence of internal shearing forces distributed over the cross-sectional area of the shaft (Figure 8.33). The intensity of these internal forces (force per unit area) is the shear stress r. The magnitude of the shear stress is related to the magnitude M of the applied torque, the cross-sectional area of the shaft, and the ra dial distance r between the centerline and the point at which the shear stress is to be determined" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0002587_s0924-0136(04)00220-1-Figure5-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0002587_s0924-0136(04)00220-1-Figure5-1.png", "caption": "Fig. 5.

It occurs when the molten material does not wet the underlying substrate due to the surface tension, which tends to spheroidise the liquid. This results in a rough and bead-shaped surface, obstructing a smooth layer deposition and decreasing the density of the produced part. Consider a flat, undeformable, perfectly smooth and chemically homogeneous solid surface (S) in contact with a non-reactive liquid (L) in the presence of a vapor (V) phase. This metastable equilibrium is depicted in Fig. 5a. If the liquid does not completely cover the solid, the liquid surface will intersect the solid surface at a contact angle \u03b8 that corresponds to a minimum of the total free energy of the system. The value of \u03b8 obeys the classical equation of Young (1804) (see Fig. 5a) [20]. Since the interaction time during laser melting is very short, order of magnitude of milliseconds, the equation of Young holds. In reality the molten pool created by the moving laser spot can be approximated by a half cylinder. Therefore an additional reduction of the surface free energy appears: when the total surface of the molten pool becomes larger than that of a sphere with the same volume, the balling effect takes places (see Fig. 5b). Thus, the laser parameters should be selected in such a way that the length to diameter ratio of the molten pool is as small as possible [21]. A process window for continuous wave as well as for pulsed laser operation mode is experimentally determined. Similar process windows are also presented by [21]. In Fig. 6a, laser power P and scan speed v are varied for a single powder layer scanned on top of a base plate. The layer thickness is 0.25 mm and the applied scan spacing is 0.1 mm.

Laser material deposition and repair are complicated interactions which involve laser and base metal interaction, laser and powder interaction, and powder and melt pool interaction. Figure 1 illustrates the schematic process view of the laser repair process. The nozzle initially is positioned at a certain location, which aligns with the edge of the hole. When the repair process starts, the laser beam goes through the powder cloud and irradiates on the surface of the base part to form the melt pool. The powders are injected from the coaxial nozzle along the same path of the laser beam and are heated during the flight. After the powders are injected into the melt pool, they are captured by the melt pool and solidified to create the clad layer after the laser or substrate moves forward", " Before their temperatures cool down to room temperature, the second heating process starts; as expected, peak temperatures of these four points are much lower in the second thermal cycle due to the lift of the melt pool location in the z direction. In such a case, the solid/liquid interface reaches an average cooling rate of more than 3000 \u00b0C/s. Moreover, the deposition pattern has essential influences on the thermal experiences of the part. Figure 9 illustrates the temperature histories at points A, B, and C marked in Fig. 1. For the zigzag deposition pattern shown in Fig. 1, the thermal cycle of points A, B, and C are about 1260, 630, and 1260 ms, respectively. It can be noted that the peak temperatures of points B and C are higher than A, which explains the differences of the remelt layer thickness between the left and right corners. Unlike points A and C located on the edge of the hole, point B is exposed a longer time to the laser beam when the laser beam passed through; correspondingly, higher peak temperature is reached at point B.

Comparing the profiles of Fig. 18 shows that, under dynamic conditions where the film thickness is 0.14 pm, the local deformation around the dent is significantly greater than its undeforn~ed condition.\nsuch as the debris dent considered here. Under pure rolling conditions, the local EHD film thickness in and around the dent are developed during its passage through the inlet region. The dominating influence that the inlet region has on film thickness is well established (17), (20). The additional feature illustrated here is that EHD effects are very local in nature. The local film thickness that is associated with a given element in the Hertzian region is the result of the integrated hydrodynamic pressure that element has encountered while passing through the inlet region. If a surface defect substantially modifies the shape of the inlet region, as shown in Fig. I l(a), it will also modify the local hydrodynamic pressure generation and local film thickness within that region. Because the surface modification at the leading edge of the dent is less favorable for pressure generation than the trailing edge, the local film thickness is observed to be slightly lower at the leading edge than it is at the trailing edge.\nBecause of the importance of the inlet region, it is instructive to compare the characteristic inlet dimensions with the dimensions of the debris dent. The inlet region can be defined as the region upstream of the Hertzian region where significant hydrodynamic film forming pressure is generated. The inlet region has a finite size which varies with the thickness of the central film thickness (h,). In the work on starvation (1 7), two inlet dimensions (Sf and hb), as shown in Fig. 21, were used to describe the boundaries of the inlet region. The dimension of hb can be thought of as the thickness of the inlet region gap where significant hydrodynamic pressure commences, and the dimension of Sr can be thought of as the distance over which the inlet pressure is generated. As shown in (1 7), these inlet dimensions are related to ho in the following way\nValues of hb and Sf for the three central film thicknesses used in the experiments are shown in Table 3. For the film thickness range considered here, Sf is between one and two orders of magnitude larger than h,, indicating that the convergent inlet region is a great deal longer than it is thick. This feature is characteristic of many debris dents.

As illustrated in Figure 8.18 b, ax is the only component of the stress tensor on a material element with sides parallel to the x and y directions. Based on the plane stress element of Figure 8.18b, Mohr's circle is drawn in Figure 8.19a. Note that there is only a tensile stress of magnitude ax on surface A, and there is no stress on surface B. Therefore, on the i-a diagram, point A is located along the a-axis at a distance ax from the origin, and point B is essentially the origin of the i-a diagram. The center C of the Mohr's circle lies along the a-axis between B and A, at a distance ax /2 from both A and B. Therefore, the radius of the Mohr's circle is ax /2. Point F on the Mohr's circle represents the orientation of the material element for which the shear stress is maximum. The magnitude of the maximum shear stress is equal to the radius of the Mohr's circle: ax F i max = - =- 2 2A On the Mohr's circle, point F is located 900 counterclockwise from A.

Carryover phenomenon between two mating rotor.", "texts": [ " In this paper, we propose a new claw-shape whose concept design is shown in Fig. 3. This new design of claw-shape is similar to Kashiyama patent [16] as shown in Fig. 4. Kashiyama developed twin-screw compressor with square-threaded rotor for the vacuum system and distinguished from the conventional one by the extra large wrap angle except the tooth profile. The transverse sections of Kashiyama\u2019s profiles are formed by cycloid and involute curves and may not be conjugate at all. However, our design on claw-shape is completely conjugate. (2) As shown in Fig. 2, there is a gas carryover phenomenon between two mating rotors. This carryover phenomenon will affect the size of clearance as they mesh closely. If the clearance could not maintain a tiny size during operation, it may lead to larger leakage and reduce the pump performance. Besides, Fig. 2 indicates the patent design is unable to conjugate at all. Thus, we use the theory of gearing to design the rotor profile for reducing the design problem (shown in Fig. 2). Here, we analyze and improve the aspect of the patent design [11\u201313]. After improving the rotor profile, we compare pump performance in terms of carryover, area efficiency and length of line of action. The coordinate systems of the plane conjugate tooth are created as shown in Fig. 5, where point g is an important location (related to parameters R and a) for the claw-shape, R is the distance from point g to Of, and a is the angle measured from the xf axial to point g.

(14). If not, the value of q2 must be modified. The trigonometry method can also be used to obtain a1, a2, a3 and subsequently yields all the center coordinates of the circular arc. Eq. (15) can verify whether the center of the circular arc is inside the pitch circle or not. If it is, there is no carryover. However, the center of the circular arc is outside the pitch circle then the carryover occurs. This phenomenon can be illustrated as shown in Fig. 2. For joining multiple curves, the parameter values can be determined by the method above to produce a complete profile.

In this paper, we use the conjugate theory to design a claw-type rotor from which we derive the mathematical model of the tooth profile and its design constraints. The following are our conclusions: (1) We use example 1 to illustrate the lack of the patents [11\u201313]. In these patents, the shapes of rotors (not claw-shape segment) cannot conjugate at all because of the gas carryover phenomenon (shown in Fig. 2). However, we have overcome this problem by new shape design using the conjugate theory. (2) Besides, example 1 verifies the drawbacks of gas sealing on the claw-shape design that is as same as these patents. Because of the obvious interstices between the two mating screw rotors, the result performance of a vacuum pump may be inferior. (3) We propose a new claw-shape which is connected by a cycloid curve and its envelope curve. From example 2, we improve the patent design of the space between the two mating screw rotors, not only to eliminate clearance but also to reduce gas carryover and improve sealing" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0002719_978-1-4757-3067-8-Figure3.20-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0002719_978-1-4757-3067-8-Figure3.20-1.png", "caption": "Figure 3.20 Example 3.4.", "texts": [ "18 An exercise to strengthen the shoulder muscles, and a simple model of the arm. b 38 Fundamentals of Biomechanics Example 3.4 Consider the total hip joint prosthesis shown in Figure 3.19.

Figure 6(b) shows the lateral displacement x1(s) of the rope in the plane containing the injection point and the contact point, for four numerical solutions with \u03a01 = 106, \u03a02 = 0.316, and different values of H (g/\u03bd2)1/3. These four solutions are denoted by the points S1\u2013S4 on the corresponding curve of frequency vs. height (figure 6a). Figure 6(c) shows, for the same solutions, the moment M1(s) associated with bending about a local basis vector d1 that is normal to the axis of the rope (figure 7b). Solution S1 corresponds to pure gravitational coiling with negligible inertia. Here the rope is nearly vertical except in a thin boundary layer near the contact point s = where viscous forces associated with bending are significant. As H increases (solutions S2 and S3), however, the displacement of the rope becomes significant along its whole length, even though bending is still confined to a thin boundary layer near s = (figure 6c). A further important indication is obtained by comparing the structures of the numerical solutions at the first two turning points S3 and S4 (figure 6a)", " The balance of gravity and the centrifugal force normal to the tail requires \u03c1gA sin \u03b8 \u223c \u03c1A\u21262y, (3.1) where A is the area of the cross-section of the tail, \u03b8 is its inclination from the vertical, and y is the lateral displacement of its axis.

Further insight can be obtained by examining in more detail the dynamics of a whirling liquid string, a simple model of which is sketched in figure 7(a).

The three terms in (3.3) represent the axis-normal components of the viscous, gravitational and centrifugal forces, respectively, per unit length of the string.

While the whirling string model explains well the frequencies of the multiple solution branches, it cannot explain why these branches fold back on themselves at turning points. We now demonstrate that this behaviour is due to the influence of inertia in the bending boundary layer near the contact point. The geometry of this region is sketched in figure 7(b). Despite our previous usage, it is not quite accurate in this case to call the bending boundary layer a \u2018coil\u2019, because its arcwise extent \u03b4 is independent of the radius R of the contact point. This is clear from figure 6, which shows that the numerical solutions at the first two turning points S3 and S4 have different values of R \u2261 x1(H ), but identical distributions of the bending moment M1(s).

When the phase belt of a three-phase induction machine with an even number of slots per pole per phase is split into two equal halves, an SPIM results with two sets of stator coils with their axes separated by 30 electrical degrees (Fig. 1) [1]\u2013[3]. Configuring the SPIM in this fashion, sixth harmonic torque pulsations are avoided. The supply to the A2B2C2 winding group is 30 phase advanced from that of the A1B1C1 winding group.

Estimations of machine torque and stator fluxes are to be calculated from the available state variables and parameters of the machine. is measured from the resultant three-phase axis (Fig. 1). and are measured from their own individual axes (Fig. 1).

For a given Cauchy data (~p, \"t) defining an initial submanifold 1\" with nonempty intersection with N, a distributed sliding regime locally exists for system (2.1)-(2.2) on an open set .Ap (-'= N ~ S) of S, if and only if the phase flows corresponding to the controlled characteristic direction field of (2.1), which arise from the initial submanifold q~, exhibit such a local sliding regime on JV\" under the influence of the switching law (2.2). Proof. Suppose a distributed sliding mode locally exists for (2.1)-(2.2) on an open set JV\" of S. Then, the total time derivatives of y, at any point z in N, belonging to the graph of the solution of the controlled equation, can be computed in terms of the directional derivatives along the controlled characteristic direction field ~. These derivatives are given by: f o r y > O: d y = [ S h / b v ] d v / d t + [ Sh /Sx ] d x / d t + [ Sh/Ot ] dt = [Sh /Sv ]b (v , x, t, u +) + [ S h / 3 x ] X ( v , x, t, u +) + [Sh/St] = L ~ ( , . , + ( , ) ) h < O; f o r y < O: d y = [ S h / S v ] d v / d t + [ a h / O x ] d x / d t + [ ah /a t l dt = [Sh /Sv]b (v , x, t, u - ) + [ S h / S x ] X ( v , x, t, u - ) + [Sh/St] = L~(..u-(.))h > O. In other words, the controlled dynamical system described by the following set of ordinary differential equations: dz d-7 = ~ ( ' ' u), (2.4a) y = h ( z ) , (2.4b) (also known as the controlled characteristic equation (2.1)), with initial conditions taking values in F, exhibits a local sliding regime on the open set .,4 r of the sliding manifold S, determined by y = 0, when u is governed by the switching law (2.2). Sufficiency follows easily by assuming that a sliding mode exists for the controlled characteristic system and hypothesizing, at the same time, that a distributed sliding mode does not exist. By reversing the arguments presented above, a contradiction is easily established. [] Local sliding regimes, on subsets of S, of the distributed controlled system (2.1), (2.2) are, hence, completely characterized in terms of the local sliding motions - on the same manifold S - of the finite dimensional time-varying system (2.4) controlled by a switching law of the form (2.2). Theorem 2. A distributed sliding regime exists on an open set ~ of S for system (2.1), (2.2) if and only if there is an open neighborhood N of S in R n+ 2 where ~uL~h * O. (2.5) Proof. If L,h does not depend locally on u then, changing the control u from u+(z) to u - ( z ) at points z of LAP does not have any effect on the sign of L,h. Therefore, there exists an open set N in R n+2, containing ~,r, where the existence conditions (2.3) are violated and a sliding regime can not locally exist on sV'. To proof sufficiency, suppose L~h(z) explicitly depends on u, locally around sV in N. Let e - ( z ) be a smooth, locally strictly positive function of z. Then, by virtue of the implicit function theorem, the equation L , h ( z , u ) = e - ( z ) locally has a unique smooth solution u = u-*(z ) such that = t - ( z ) > O. Similarly, by the same arguments, given a smooth locally strictly negative function e+(z), a smooth control law u = u ~ ( z ) locally exists such that = < 0 . Hence, conditions (2.3) are locally valid around N and a sliding regime exists on the open set dV\" of S for the found distributed variable structure feedback control law: u + ( z l = u + ' ( z ) for h ( z ) > 0, u = u - ( z ) u -~(z ) for h ( z ) < O. [] Definition 3. For all initial states z located on the open set X of S, the unique distributed control function, uEQ(z), locally constraining the distributed trajectories to the sliding manifold S, in the region of existence ~V of the sliding motion, is known as the distributed equivalent control. (i.e., the equivalent control turns the open set ~4 r of S into a ocal integral manifold of the characteristic controlled direction field defined on ~ for some given initial Cauchy data defined on JV'). The resulting characteristic dynamics, ideally con- 180 H. Sira-Ramirez / Distributed sliding mode control strained to S, will be addressed as the characteristic ideal sliding dynamics. (See the original concept in Utkin [10] for ODE's . ) A coordinate-free description of such dynamics in S is: dz d-7 = ~ ( z ' uEQ(z)) , h(z ) = 0 . (2.6) The direction field ~(z, uEQ(z)) will be referred to as the equivalent direction field. Given an arbitrary smooth, noncharacteristic initial n-dimensional submanifold F of the zero output manifold v = ~(x , t), every integral manifold of the equivalent direction field, ~(z, uEQ(z)), is evidently a local solution, specified by v = q~(x, t), of the PDE representing the distributed ideal sliding dynamics: i~v ~ ~v ~ + ~-- -X, (v , x , t, uEQ(v, x, t)) i= 1 iSx~ A necessary and sufficient condit ion for an open set ~V\" of S to qualify as a local ( n + l ) - dimensional integral manifold of the controlled trajectories (2.6) is that the gradient of h be locally poin twise o r thogona l to the s m o o t h equivalent direction field ~(z, uEQ(z)), i.e., L,<:,uEo~z>)h(z ) = 0 for z ~ ,A r.

The double pendulum model of the golf swing; (a) at the beginning of the downswing; (b) at the release point; (c) after releasing the club and (d) at impact.", "texts": [ " The first part of this section on the physics of the golf swing will focus on the double pendulum swing model, and its variations, along with its use in determining ways to increase the clubhead speed. The use of three-link swing models in the analysis of golf swings will then be discussed. Following this, some of the kinematic, kinetic and force measurements that have been taken on golfers, both skilled and unskilled, and their relationship to the swing models, will be presented. 2.1.1. Double pendulum model. Figure 1 shows the motion of the arms and golf club during a typical downswing. The primary model that golf researchers have used to analyse this motion is based on a double pendulum or double link system. The two links that are used in this model are included in figure 1. The upper link represents the golfer\u2019s shoulders and arms, which rotate about a central hub corresponding roughly to a point between the golfer\u2019s shoulders. The lower link represents the golf club, which rotates about a point or hinge located at the centre of the hands and wrists of the golfer. The basis for the double pendulum model stems from the modern practice of keeping the left arm (for a right-handed golfer) straight during the downswing. In the model the backswing is normally ignored and the two links begin in the stationary position that is shown in figure 1(a). The angular position of the lower link, \u03b8 , at the top of the backswing is referred to as the backswing angle while the angular position of the upper link, with respect to the lower link, is referred to as the wrist-cock angle, \u03b1. During the downswing the two links are taken to rotate in a single plane that is inclined to the vertical. In the basic version of the model the hub is taken to be fixed in position and all the golfer\u2019s efforts in rotating his or her hips, trunk and arms are equated to a single couple, \u03c40, applied at this central pivot", " The downswing in the double pendulum model has, therefore, typically been divided into two distinct stages. During the first stage of the downswing the wrist-cock angle is fixed and the double pendulum system rotates as one. The value of the wrist-cock angle during this first stage is primarily determined by the ability, or inability, of a golfer to cock his or her wrists. The couple exerted by the hands and wrists, \u03c4h, on the club or lower link, which is required to maintain this wrist-cock angle, will initially be positive for the orientation shown in figure 1(a). During this time the hands and wrists are basically behaving as a stop in preventing the club from falling back towards the golfer. As the downswing proceeds the centrifugal force acting on the lower link will increase and the couple required by the hands and wrists to maintain the wrist-cock angle will subsequently decrease. When the required couple drops to zero the lower link will, unless prevented, begin to swing outwards. This is referred to as a natural release. Jorgensen (1970) showed that for the basic double pendulum swing model the required hand couple drops to zero when the upper link has swung through an angle, given by \u03b2 in figure 1(b), of IL/2LUSL, where SL and IL are the first and second moments of the club about the centre of the golfers hands and LU is the length of the upper link. For a typical golf swing and driver this corresponds to an angle of approximately 47\u02da. The angular position of the upper link at the point where the club swings out, \u03b8 in figure 1(b), is referred to as the release angle. An expert golfer normally swings the club in such a manner that the wrist-cock angle stays fixed beyond the natural release point. If the hands and wrists continue to hold the club at a constant wrist-cock angle after the natural release point, the couple they exert must become increasingly negative. A typical downswing lasts on the order of 200 ms and the first stage is normally modelled as lasting from 100 to 150 ms. The second stage of the downswing begins when the club swings outwards, either naturally or with a delayed release, and ends when contact with the ball is made. The hands and wrists are normally modelled as exerting no couple during this stage. In the case of a delayed release, the club will swing out much more rapidly than is the case for a natural release due to the larger centrifugal force that is acting on it. As is shown in figure 1(d), the golf ball is typically positioned ahead of the hub so that at impact the final wrist-cock angle, \u03b1, is not equal to zero. Daish (1972), Lampsa (1975) and Jorgensen (1970, 1994) derive the equations of motion for the basic double pendulum model using the Langrangian approach. Expressions for the kinetic energies of the two links are determined and the potential energy of the system is equated to the work done by the couples, which are exerted at the hub and at the hands. In the simplest case, where the effects of gravity are neglected, Daish (1972) derives the following equations of motion: A\u03b8\u0308 + B\u03c6\u0308 cos(\u03c6 \u2212 \u03b8) \u2212 B\u03c6\u03072 sin(\u03c6 \u2212 \u03b8) = \u2212\u03c40 + \u03c4h (1a) and B\u03b8\u0308 cos(\u03c6 \u2212 \u03b8) + B\u03b8\u03072 sin(\u03c6 \u2212 \u03b8) + C\u03c6\u0308 = \u2212\u03c4h, (1b) where the generalized coordinates, \u03c6 and \u03b8 , are the angular positions of the two links with respect to the vertical. The angular position of the upper link, \u03b8 , is as shown in figure 1(a), while \u03c6, the angular position of the lower link, is given by \u03b8 + \u03b1. The constants A, B and C, are functions of the mass, the length and the first and second moments of the two links. During the first stage of the downswing the wrist-cock angle, \u03c6 \u2212 \u03b8 , is held fixed and the general equations reduce to \u03b8\u0308 = \u03c6\u0308 = \u2212\u03c40 I , (2) where I is the moment of inertia of the whole system about the hub. The orientation of the club at impact, in the two-stage double pendulum model, will depend on the magnitude of the couple applied at the hub, as well as the backswing, initial wrist-cock, and release angles. In figure 1(d) the club is in the vertical position at impact, which, in general, is what would be wanted. Figure 2 shows an example where the values for the hub couple, release angle and wrist-cock angle, are the same as were used for figure 1, but the backswing angle is greatly reduced. In this case the hands will be ahead of the clubhead at impact and the ball would be missed or at best miss-hit. In the case of an increased backswing angle, with the other parameters fixed, the model shows that the clubhead will lead the hands at impact. Timing is, therefore, crucial in the model, as it is with a real golf swing, and changing one parameter in the model will normally require another parameter to be changed if the clubhead is to make solid contact with the golf ball", " Delaying the release of the club results in greater clubhead speed at impact by keeping the club closer to the hub during the downswing so that the first and second moments of the double pendulum system about the hub will be reduced. Delaying the release will, however, also have an effect on the orientation of the club at impact, with the hands, in general, leading the clubhead at impact. Pickering and Vickers (1999) also investigated the effect of positioning the golf ball forward of the hub point. This is normally the practice of golfers and is included in figure 1(a). One benefit of doing this is that for a properly timed swing the clubhead speed will be increasing throughout the downswing. Positioning the ball forward and thereby delaying the impact will, therefore, result in a greater clubhead speed at impact. Pickering and Vickers specifically determined the ball position that would result in the maximum horizontal component of clubhead velocity at impact in their swing model. They found that in the case of a drive and with a natural release, the optimal ball position was 0" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0003273_978-1-84628-978-1-Figure6.14-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0003273_978-1-84628-978-1-Figure6.14-1.png", "caption": "Figure 6.14.

Additionally, the cantilever was etched down to a thin membrane to amplify the mechanical stress. The strain gages have an opposite gage factor to increase the resolution of the sensor.

Assume that a material is subjected to a simple (uniaxial) tension test until yielding. The stress level at yielding is recorded as O'yp. The maximum shear stress to which this ma terial is subjected can be determined by constructing a Mohr's circle (see Example 8.17) which is illustrated in Figure 8.22. It is clear that the maximum shear stress in simple tension is equal to half of the normal stress. In this case, the normal stress is also the yield strength of the material in tension, and therefore: 0' x O'yp Tmax = - =- 2 2 (8.18) The maximum stress theory states that if the same material is subjected to any combination of normal and shear stresses and the maximum shear stress is calculated, the yielding will start when the maximum shear stress is equal to Tmax.

The primary function of the normal component F Mn of the muscle force is to rotate the tibia about the knee joint, while its tangential component F Mt tends to translate the lower leg in a direction collinear with the long axis of the tibia and applies a compressive force on the articulating surfaces of the tibiofemoral joint. Since the normal component of F M is a sine function of 110 Fundamentals of Biomechanics angle (), a larger angle between the patellar tendon and the long axis of the tibia indicates a larger rotational effect of the muscle exertion. This implies that for large () ,less muscle force is wasted to compress the knee joint, and a larger portion of the muscle tension is utilized to rotate the lower leg about the knee joint. \u2022 One of the most important biomechanical functions of the patella is to provide anterior displacement of the quadriceps and patellar tendons, thus lengthening the lever arm of the knee extensor muscle forces with respect to the center of rotation of the knee by increasing angle () (Figure 5.41a). Surgical removal of the patella brings the patellar tendon closer to the center of rotation of the knee joint (Figure 5.41b), which causes the length of the lever arm of the muscle force to decrease (d2 < d1). Losing the advantage of having a relatively long lever arm, the quadri ceps muscle has to exert more force than normal to rotate the lower leg about the knee joint. \u2022 The human knee has a two-joint structure composed of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joints. Note that the quadriceps muscle goes over the patella, and the patella and the muscle form a pulley-rope arrangement. The higher the tension in the mus cle, the larger the compressive force (pressure) the patella exerts on the patellofemoral joint. We have analyzed the forces involved around the tibiofemoral joint by considering the free-body diagram of the lower leg. Having determined the tension in the patellar tendon, and as suming that the tension is uniform throughout the quadriceps, we can calculate the compressive force applied on the patello femoral joint by considering the free-body diagram of the patella (Figure 5.42a). Let F M be the uniform magnitude of the tensile force in the patellar and quadriceps tendons, Fp be the magni tude of the force exerted on the patellofemoral joint, a be the angle between the patellar tendon and the horizontal, y be the angle between the quadriceps tendon and the horizontal, and \u00a2 be the unknown angle between the line of action of the com pressive reaction force at the joint (Figure 5.42b). We have a three-force system and for the equilibrium of the patella it has to be concurrent. We can first determine the common point of intersection Q by extending the lines of action of patellar and quadriceps tendon forces. A line connecting point Q and the point of application of F p will correspond to the line of action of F p. The forces can then be translated to Q (Figure 5.42c), and the equilibrium equations can be applied. For the equilibrium of the patella in the x and y directions: LFx=O: LFy=O: F p cos \u00a2 = F M (cos Y - cos a) Fp sin\u00a2 = FM (sin a - sin y) These equations can be solved simultaneously for angle \u00a2 and the magnitude F p of the compressive force applied by the femur Applications of Statics to Biomechanics 111 on the patella at the patellofemoral joint: Fp = (COS y - cosa) FM cos\u00a2 -1 ( sin a - sin y ) \u00a2 = tan cosy - cosa 5.10 Mechanics of the Ankle The ankle is the union of three bones: the tibia, the fibula, and the talus of the foot (Figure 5.43). Like other major joints in the lower extremity, the ankle is responsible for load-bearing and kinematic functions. The anatomical configuration of the ankle joints is similar to that of the hip. The ankle joint is inherently more stable than the knee joint, which requires ligamentous and muscular restraints for its stability. The ankle joint complex consists of the tibiotalar, fibulotalar, and distal tibiofibular articulations. The ankle (tibiotalar) joint is a hinge or ginglymus-type articulation between the spool-like convex surface of the trochlea of the talus and the concave distal end of the tibia. Being a hinge joint, the ankle permits only flexion-extension (dorsiflexion-plantar flexion) movement of the foot in the sagittal plane. Other foot movements include in version and eversion, inward and outward rotation, and prona tion and supination. These movements occur about the foot joints such as the subtalar and transverse tarsal joints between the talus and calcaneus. The ankle mortise is maintained by the shape of the three artic ulations, and the ligaments and muscles crossing the joint. The integrity of the ankle joint is improved by the medial (deltoid) and lateral collateral ligament systems, and the interosseous lig aments. There are numerous muscle groups crossing the ankle. The most important ankle plantar flexors are the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (Figure 5.44). Both the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles have attachments to the posterior surface of the calcaneus via the Achilles tendon. The gastrocnemius muscle is more effective as a knee flexor if the foot is elevated, and more effective as a plantar flexor of the foot if the knee is held in exten sion. The plantar extensors are posterior muscles. There are also anterior (tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, extensor halluc is longus, peroneus tertius) and lateral (peroneus longus, peroneus brevis) muscles whose primary function is to provide pronation and supination, and inward and outward rotation of the foot. The ankle joint responds poorly to small changes in its anatom ical configuration.

The most common ankle injury, inversion sprain, occurs when the body weight is forcefully transmitted to the ankle while the foot is inverted (the sole of the foot facing inward). Example 5.7 Consider a person standing on tiptoe on one foot (a strenuous position illustrated). The forces acting on the foot during this instant are shown in Figure 5.45. W is the person's weight applied on the foot as the ground reaction force, F M is the magnitude of the tensile force exerted by the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles on the calcaneus through the Achilles tendon, and F J is the magnitude of the ankle joint reaction force applied by the tibia on the dome of the talus. The weight of the foot is small compared to the weight of the body and is therefore ignored. The Achilles tendon is attached to the calcaneus at A, the ankle joint center is located at B, and the ground reaction force is applied on the foot at C. For this position of the foot, it is estimated that the line of action of the tensile force in the Achilles tendon makes an angle () with the horizontal, and the line of action of the ankle joint reaction force makes an angle f3 with the horizontal. Assuming that the relative positions of A, B, and C are known, determine expressions for the tension in the Achilles tendon and the magnitude of the reaction force at the ankle joint. Solution: We have a three-force system composed of musc:e force F M' joint reaction force F J ' and the ground reaction force W. From the geometry of the problem, it is obvious that for the position of the foot shown, the forces acting on the foot do not form a parallel force system. Therefore, the force system must be a concurrent one. The common point of intersection (0 in Figure 5.45) of these forces can be determined by extending the lines of action of Wand F M' A straight line passing through both points a and B represents the line of action of the joint re action force. Assuming that the relative positions of points A, B, and C are known (as stated in the problem), the angle (say f3) of the line of action of the joint reaction force can be measured. Once the line of action of the joint reaction force is determined by graphical means, the magnitudes of the joint reaction and muscle forces can be calculated by translating all three forces involved to the common point of intersection at a (Figure 5.46). The two unknowns F M and F J can now be determined by apply ing the translational equilibrium conditions in the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) directions. For this purpose, the joint reaction and muscle forces must be decomposed into their rectangular components first: FMx = FM cos() FMy = FM sin() F I x = F I cos f3 Fly = FI sinf3 Applications of Statics to Biomechanics 113 For the translational equilibrium of the foot in the horizontal and vertical directions: LFx=O: LFy=O: Flx=FMx FlY= FMy + W Simultaneous solutions of these equations will yield: F _ W> cosf3 M - cos () sin f3 - sin () cos f3 F = W> cos() I cos () sin f3 - sin () cos f3 For example, assume that () = 45\u00b0 and f3 = 60\u00b0. Then: FI =2.73 W 5.11 Discussion Analyses of posture and movement are based on an understand ing of the leverage afforded gravitational force by the body po sition. Lifting while the arms are flexed requires less effort than lifting with arms extended. This knowledge enables us not only to grade exercises effectively but also to minimize gravitational effects in our daily activities. Low back injuries usually result from ignorance of safe lifting techniques that minimize gravi tational effects. Arm and shoulder strain may result from pro longed use of hands away from the midline of the body where the center of gravity is located. It should be noted here that there are other factors that influence the level of difficulty of performing certain tasks. For example, we must consider the length of the antagonist muscles and relative size of the various body segments. The point of insertion of a muscle or tendon varies from person to person. A slight variation in the point of insertion of a ten don can change the force distribution between the muscle and related joint considerably, as in the case of the biceps muscle and elbow joint. The farther a tendon lies from the axis of the joint, the better its ability to handle the turning effect of the segment 114 Fundamentals of Biomechanics about the joint, which can be a considerable advantage for lifting and throwing. While analyzing the gravitational forces in body movement, consider the fact that the downward gravitational pull of the body is opposed by an equal upward push of the supporting surface regardless of whether the person is reclining, sitting, or standing. Sufficient floor reactions in terms of frictional forces are necessary for the stabilization of the body. Frictional forces are also important for walking and running. The joints of the body sustain compressive forces. Both the superincumbent and the supporting segment of the joint resist equal and opposite forces applied to their respective articular surfaces. The shape of the joints and the arrangement of reinforcing ligaments and tendons are such that the upright posture is maintained with an economy of muscular effort. Researchers in the field of biomechanics have suggested various mathematical models to evaluate the forces involved in different muscles, bones, and joints of the human body during its vari ous activities and static postures. Some of these models attempt to take into consideration the contributions of more than one muscle group. Different researchers utilize different formula tion techniques and different criteria for the prediction of mus cle forces. Some classic papers have been written describing these new approaches to the study of skeletal muscle, and many researchers have presented the application and refinement of these methods in more recent publications. Seireg and Arvikar (1973) developed a mathematical model for evaluating the muscle forces necessary to maintain the human body equilibrium in standing, leaning, and stooping. These researchers utilized linear optimization techniques in the pre diction of muscle forces. Penrod et al. (1974) investigated the problem of distribution of forces among muscles at a joint. In order to arrive at a unique solution for the redundant (statically indeterminate) system, they suggested that the solution must be based on optimizing the total muscle effort. They applied the resulting mathematical formulation to a two tendon model. Crowninshield and Brand (1981) developed a nonlinear model for predicting the muscle activity during locomotion. These investigators utilized the criterion of maximum endurance of musculoskeletal function to develop a model based on the in versely nonlinear relationship of muscle force and contraction endurance. More recently, Yamaguchi et al. (1995) refined the mathematical modeling for this problem. In a review paper, Dul et al. (1984a) compared the characteris tics and performance of several linear and nonlinear criteria for load sharing between synergistic muscles reported in the litera ture. Based on the assumption that during a physical activity the muscular fatigue is minimized, the same group of researchers Applications of Statics to Biomechanics 115 (Dul et al., 1984b) developed a model for predicting the load sharing mechanisms between muscles. In 1995, Cholewicki et al. proposed a new approach to this model. 5.12 Suggested Reading Chaffin, D.B., and Andersson, G.B.J. 1991. Occupational Biomechanics. 2nd ed. New York: John Wiley & Sons.

Secondly, the internal angle is controlled by the following equation \u03b1\u0307i(t) = k ( \u03b2i(t) + \u03b3i(t) \u2212 2\u03b1i(t) ) (11) where k is a positive number. Because the total internal angle of a triangle is 180\u25e6, (11) can be rewritten as \u03b1\u0307i(t) = k\u2032(60\u25e6 \u2212 \u03b1i(t)), (12) where k\u2032 is 3k. Likewise, the solution of (12) is \u03b1i(t) = |\u03b1i(0)|e\u2212k\u2032t + 60\u25e6 that converges exponentially to 60\u25e6 as t approaches infinity. Note that (10) and (12) imply that the trajectory of ri converges to dr and 60\u25e6, an equilibrium state shown in Fig. 5b. This also implies that three robots eventually form an equilateral triangle with du. In order to prove the correctness, we will take advantage of stability based on Lyapunov\u2019s theory [35]. The stability theorem states if there exists a scalar function fl,i of the state x = [di(t) \u03b1i(t)]T with continuous first order derivatives such that fl,i is positive definite, f\u0307l,i is negative definite, and fl,i \u2192 \u221e as \u2016 x \u2016\u2192 \u221e, then the equilibrium at the desired state [dr 60\u25e6]T is asymptotically stable. Thus, at the desired configuration Ei, the energy level of the scalar function is minimized", ") The derivative of the scalar function is given by f\u0307sc,i = f\u0307l,i = \u2212(di \u2212 dr) 2 \u2212 (60\u25e6 \u2212 \u03b1i) 2. (16) Equation 16 is negative definite. Finally, fsc,i is radially unbounded since it tends to infinity as \u2016 x \u2016\u2192 \u221e. Therefore, the equilibrium state is asymptotically stable, implying that ri reaches a vertex of Ei from an arbitrary Ti. Next, the collective scalar function Fsc of a swarm of robots is a nonzero function with the property that any solution of the set of algebraic constraints on range and bearing (see Fig. 5b) is closely related to a set of equilibria for {ri|1 \u2264 i \u2264 n} and vice versa. Without loss of generality, Fsc is a diminished energy function with a scalar potential. Now we prove the convergence of the algorithm for a swarm of n robots. Lemma 3 Under Algorithm 2, ||pi \u2212 ps1|| and ||pi \u2212 ps2|| converge into du for all robots. Proof The n-order scalar function Fsc is defined as Fsc = n\u2211 i=1 fsc,i = n\u2211 i=1 \u2211 Ti (dk \u2212 du) 2 + n\u2211 i=1 fl,i. (17) From Lemma 2, it is straightforward to verify that Fsc is positive definite and F\u0307sc is negative definite" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0003878_j.neunet.2008.03.010-Figure2-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0003878_j.neunet.2008.03.010-Figure2-1.png", "caption": "Fig. 2.

Three-rotor rigid body and associated reference frames.", "texts": [ " The originality of the configuration lies in its control mechanism for generating the required control forces and torques. The three-rotor aircraft consists of two body-fixed rotors and a tail tilting rotor with fixed-angle blades. The two front rotors rotate in opposite directions, thereby eliminating reactive anti-torques. Since the two front rotors are powered by two independent motors, their angular velocities can be controlled to produce the main thrust as well as the roll torque. The tail rotor can be tilted laterally (see Fig. 2) using a servo-motor in order to provide the yawing torque. Finally, the pitch torque is obtained by varying the angular speed of the tail rotor. 784 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AEROSPACE AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS VOL. 44, NO. 2 APRIL 2008 Contrary to the quadrotor aircraft, the yawing torque generated by the three-rotor helicopter is well understood and well modeled since it is expressed as the product of the lateral component of f3 and the distance l3. During manual flight tests the three-rotor aircraft performs the translational flight better than the quadrotor aircraft", " The full model of a helicopter involving the flexibility of rotors, fuselage aerodynamics and actuators dynamics is very complex [22]. For control practical purposes, the aerial robot can be considered as a rigid body evolving in a 3D space [23] with a mechanism for generating the control force and torque vectors. The body forces and moments acting on the airframe are the rotation speed of each motor wi, (i= 1,2,3) and the tilt angle (\u00ae) of the tail rotor. The force vector generated by propellers is expressed in the rigid body frame B = (eb1,eb2,eb3) (see Fig. 2) as Fb = (0,f3 sin\u00ae,f1 +f2 +f3 cos\u00ae) T: (1) Let us denote by (O1,O2,O3) the application points of the forces (f1,f2,f3), respectively. Then, the torque vector MB F induced by these forces with respect to the mass center G can be expressed in B as follows, (see Fig. 2): MB F = \u00a1! GO1\u00a3 (0,0,f1)+ \u00a1! GO2\u00a3 (0,0,f2) + \u00a1!

Furthermore, there exists other parasitic moments specific to the three-rotor helicopter. Indeed, tilting the tail rotor laterally results in additional small moment. An adverse reaction moment appears when precessing the tail rotor laterally. It depends essentially on the tail rotor inertia Ip and on the tilt angle acceleration \u00ae\u0308", " Fb = (0,0,u) T+N\u00bfb (10) with N = 0B@0 0 0 0 0 \u00a11=l3 0 0 0 1CA (11) and u= f1 +f2 +f3 cos\u00ae (12) is the body-vertical component of the force vector which is considered as the nominal control force.

The equations of motion for a rigid body subject to a body force FB 2R3 and a torque \u00bfb 2R3 applied to the center of mass G and specified with respect to the body coordinate frame B (see Fig. 2) are given by the following Newton-Euler equations in B, [2, 8, 24] m _\u00c0B +\u2212\u00a3m\u00c0B = FB J _\u2212+\u2212\u00a3 J\u2212 = \u00bfb (13) where \u00c0B 2 R3 and \u2212 2 R3 are, respectively, the body velocity vector and the body angular velocity vector expressed in the body frame B. m 2 R is the mass, and J 2R3\u00a33 is an inertial matrix expressed in B.

All methods for manufacturing of elliptical gears can be kinematically considered to consist of a rack cutter that performs pure rolling on the pitch ellipse in the generating process, as shown in Fig. 2(a). In this paper, a standard rack cutter [9] with a complete cutter surface, as shown in Fig. 2(b), is chosen. The shape of the rack cutter consists of two straight lines that form a pressure angle ~, with respect to the )(,-axis. The circular arcs of radius r with centers at C and D generate the fillet surfaces of elliptical gears, while the straight line M~oi)M~( ) ( i = 3, 4 indicates regions 3 and 4 o f the rack cutter, respectively) generates the working tooth surfaces of the elliptical gears. Backlash is also considered in the mathematical model, when a negative value of Ab is chosen. In the process of tooth surface generation, axis Y, must coincide with the tangent direction of the pitch 882 Shinn-Liang Chang et al. ellipse, as shown in Fig. 2(a). The contact point of the pitch ellipse and rack cutter pitch line is located at the Y,-axis of coordinate system S,(X<,Y<), and the rack cutter translates along the X, and Y, axes. Because each tooth of an elliptical gear may have a different shape, both sides of the rack cutter must be considered. Therefore, the rack cutter may be divided into six regions, as shown in Fig. 2(b). Regions 1 and 6 of the rack cutter surface can be considered to generate the bottom land of elliptical gears, regions 2 and 5 the fillet surface, and regions 3 and 4 the working tooth surface. The addendum curve, which may be considered to be the shape of the gear blank, is a curve equidistant from the pitch ellipse [4]. The equations of the rack cutter, represented in the coordinate system S,(X,,Y,), can be obtained as described in Sections 3.1-3.3.

Otherwise, the generated elliptical gear will have an incomplete tooth [7]. An example is given below that illustrates how to determine the tooth profile of an elliptical gear. The tooth profile of an elliptical gears obtained by applying the proposed method is compared with that obtained by applying the evolute method. Example 1. The standard rack cutter shown in Fig. 2(b) is chosen to generate an elliptical gear with module m = 5.0 mm, number of teeth n = 45, pressure angle ~b, = 20 \u00b0, radius of circular arc r = 0.3 module, Ab = 0 mm for non-backlash, and major semi-axis a = 125 mm. The short semi-axis b is calculated by solving for the pitch ellipse circumference S = rtmn and equation (7). It is found that b = 99.261 mm and E = 0.608. The computer program developed here and computer graphics were applied to obtain the complete tooth profile of the elliptical gear shown in Fig", " It is clear that the proposed mathematical model and generation method can be used to generate the tooth profile not only for working surfaces but also for fillets and bottom lands, whereas the evolute method can only generate the working surfaces. The addendum and dedendum curves are generated so that they are equidistant from the pitch ellipse. The results also show that the profiles of the working surfaces generated by these two methods are exactly the same. Example 2. The standard rack cutter shown in Fig. 2(b) is also chosen to generate an elliptical gear with major axis 2a = 41.465 mm, short axis 2b = 38.103 mm, number of teeth n = 21, pressure angle ~b, = 20 , radius of circular arc r = 0.3 module and Ab = - 0.03 mm for backlash consideration. The module m is then calculated by solving for the pitch ellipse circumference S = rtmn and equation (7). It is found that m = 1.895 mm and e = 0.394. By substituting the above design and calculated parameters into the developed mathematical model and computer program, the profile of the elliptical gear can be obtained", " When undercutting occurs, the thickness near the gear fillets will be decreased. Therefore, both the load capacity of the tooth and the length of the line of action are also reduced. Mathematically, the problem of preventing undercutting is the problem of avoiding the appearance of singular points on the generated tooth shape. A method proposed by Litvin [5], which considers the relative velocity and equation of meshing between the gear blank and rack cutter, is applied here to determine the limit of the rack cutter parameters, Figure 2 shows the relative motion between the gear blank and rack cutter. We shall consider under what circumstances a singular point appears on the working surface of elliptical gears generated by region 3 of the rack cutter.

Differential propeller speeds: Since it is possible to modify independently the speed of each propeller, then the rolling moment can be given by \u03c4\u03c6 = l(P1 \u2212 P2) (1) where l is the distance from the motors to the aerodynamic center O (see Figure 2). P1 and P2 are the lifts generated by each propeller. Longitudinal Tilting (LT): The longitudinal tilting of the propellers is controlled by two inboard servos. The yaw moment is obtained by differential longitudinal tilting of the rotors. Indeed, the difference of lift longitudinal components creates a yawing moment with respect to G as follows \u03c4\u03c8 = l(P1 sin \u03b11 \u2212 P2 sin \u03b12) (2) where \u03b11 and \u03b12 are the longitudinal tilt angles. Since the center of gravity G is located below the tilt axes, thus, the sum of longitudinal components of P1 and P2 generates a pitching moment with respect to G", " This moment acts on the airframe, causing loss of control authority and resulting in instability. Moreover, when the propellers have an angle of attack in longitudinal flight, they have a severe tendency to pitch up. They create substantial positive pitching moments. We conclude that the method by itself offers no practical means for countering these effects, and stability can not be obtained using only longitudinal tilting of the propellers. These issues may be resolved by combining this LT with an opposed lateral tilting. Opposed Lateral Tilting (OLT): Referring to Figure 2, forcing propellers to precess laterally in opposite directions will create gyroscopic moments (M1\u03b2 ,M2\u03b2) which are perpendicular to their respective spin and tilt axes [8], and directed as shown in Figure 2. Their total magnitude, calculated in Section III, is given by M\u03b2 = M1\u03b2 + M2\u03b2 = Ir\u03b2\u0307(\u03c91 + \u03c92) cos \u03b2 (4) with Ir is the fan inertia moment about spin axis. Also, a non-zero tilt angle \u03b2 will generate a component of the propeller torque vector along the lateral axis E2, creating a pitching moment on the aircraft in the same direction as M\u03b2 . Then, the pitching moment created by OLT is the sum of the components of the gyroscopic moments and fan torques (Q1,Q2) resolved along the E2 axis: \u03c4\u03b8\u03b2 = Ir\u03b2\u0307(\u03c91 + \u03c92) cos \u03b2 + (Q1 + Q2) sin \u03b2 (5) The experimental tests showed that the moment \u03c4\u03b8\u03b2 caused by OLT is weak and not sufficient for controlling the pitch movement and establishing forward motion of the aircraft", " The OLT and the LT have to be programmed (assigned by the controller) in such manner to optimize the aircraft behavior at all operating points in the flight envelope. The complete dynamics of a helicopter is quite complex and somewhat unmanageable for the purpose of control. Therefore, we consider a helicopter model as a rigid body incorporating a force and moment generation process [5]. The equations of motion for a rigid body subject to body force F0 \u2208 R 3 and torque \u03c4 \u2208 R 3 applied at the center of mass and specified with respect to the body coordinate frame A = (E1, E2, E3) (see Figure 2) are given by the Newton-Euler equations in A, which can be written as{ m\u03c5\u0307A + \u2126 \u00d7 m\u03c5A = F0 J\u2126\u0307 + \u2126 \u00d7 J\u2126 = \u03c4 (6) where \u03c5A \u2208 R 3 is the body velocity vector, \u2126 \u2208 R 3 is the body angular velocity vector, m \u2208 R specifies the mass, and J \u2208 R 3\u00d73 is an inertial matrix. F0 combines the force of gravity and the lift vector F generated by the propellers. The first equation in (6) can be also expressed in the inertial frame I = (Ex, Ey, Ez). By defining \u03be = (x, y, z) and \u03c5I as the position and the velocity of the helicopter relative to I, we can write{ \u03be\u0307 = \u03c5I , m\u03c5\u0307I = RF \u2212 mgEz J\u2126\u0307 + \u2126 \u00d7 J\u2126 = \u03c4 (7) where R \u2208 SO(3) is the rotation matrix of the body axes relative to I, satisfying R\u22121 = RT and det(R) = 1. It can be obtained based on Euler angles \u03b7 = (\u03c8, \u03b8, \u03c6) which are (yaw, pitch and roll) (cf. [5] and [9] for its expression). In the following, we express the force/moment pair (F, \u03c4 ), exerted on the helicopter. To develop our analysis, we use two additional coordinate frames: A1 = (A1x, A1y, A1z) and A2 = (A2x, A2y, A2z) which are associated to the rotor n\u25e61 and rotor n\u25e62, respectively (see Figure 2). The tilt movement of the rotors is obtained by a rotation \u03b2 around the axes Aix and then a rotation \u03b1i around the lateral axis E2, i = 1, 2. Therefore, the orientation of the rotors n\u25e61, n\u25e62 with respect to A can be defined by the rotational matrices T1, T2 whose expressions are given, respectively, by\u23a1 \u23a3 c\u03b11 s\u03b11s\u03b2 s\u03b11c\u03b2 0 c\u03b2 \u2212s\u03b2 \u2212s\u03b11 c\u03b11s\u03b2 c\u03b11c\u03b2 \u23a4 \u23a6 , \u23a1 \u23a3 c\u03b12 \u2212s\u03b12s\u03b2 s\u03b12c\u03b2 0 c\u03b2 s\u03b2 \u2212s\u03b12 \u2212c\u03b12s\u03b2 c\u03b12c\u03b2 \u23a4 \u23a6 (8) Force vector: The force F generated by the rotorcraft is the resultant force of the thrusts generated by the two propellers", " We therefore find M\u03b1 = 2\u2211 i=1 TiM Ai \u03b1i = Ir \u239b \u239d\u2212\u03c91\u03b1\u03071c\u03b11 + \u03c92\u03b1\u03072c\u03b12 0 \u03c91\u03b1\u03071s\u03b11 \u2212 \u03c92\u03b1\u03072s\u03b12 \u239e \u23a0 (13) M\u03b2 = 2\u2211 i=1 TiM Ai i\u03b2 = Ir\u03b2\u0307 \u239b \u239d(\u03c91s\u03b11 \u2212 \u03c92s\u03b12)s\u03b2 (\u03c91 + \u03c92)c\u03b2 (\u03c91c\u03b11 \u2212 \u03c92c\u03b12)s\u03b2 \u239e \u23a0 (14) Fan torques: As the blades rotate, they are subject to drag forces which produce torques around the aerodynamic center O.

Schematic of Newton\u2019s cradle experiments.", "texts": [ " With regard to contact duration, the softsphere models correctly predict that the striker particle separates from the three-body contact prior to the separation of the two initially motionless particles. Quantitative modeldata comparisons are also made, although the emphasis of this work is targeted at the differences between three-body collisions and two-body collisions rather than providing a critical analysis between existing soft-sphere models. To investigate the postcollisional behavior of a normal head-on collision between three solid spheres, a pendulumbased apparatus inspired by Newton\u2019s cradle is used. As illustrated in Fig. 1, each particle is hung from two lines to make a V shape. The pivot points in each V-shaped pendulum are approximately 33 cm apart and the length of each line is 1 m. The three pendulums are spaced one-particle diameter 2.54 cm apart, so that when not in motion, the particles are touching, but no force occurs between them. The pendulum line is made of an ice fishing line manufactured by Berkley with a spring constant of 1.2 N/m. The stiff line balances the centripetal force experienced by the striker particle as it travels down the arc, effectively eliminating any vertical motion upon collision with the stationary particles at the bottom of the arc", "03 1011 N /m2, Poisson\u2019s ratio =0.28, yield strength Y =2.03 109 N /m2, density =7830 kg /m3, and radius R =1.27 cm. The properties of the stainless steel particles are Young\u2019s modulus E=1.93 1011 N /m2, Poisson\u2019s ratio =0.35, yield strength Y =3.10 108 N /m2, density =8030 kg /m3, and radius R=1.27 cm. The normal three-body collision is achieved by pulling back along the arc the striker particle, which is then released and allowed to collide with the two motionless touching particles at the bottom of the arc. As labeled in Fig. 1, particle 1 refers to the striker particle, particle 2 refers to the middle particle, and particle 3 is the end particle opposite to the striker particle. The striker particle is held by a door attached to a track along the arc. The position of the door can be moved along the track in order to achieve different impacting velocities when released. The door is spring loaded and is released by a solenoid. Once released, particle 1 collides with particle 2, and particles 2 and 3 travel up the arc. Due to gravity g, the particles will eventually come back down the arc and collide a second time; however, data are only taken before and after the first three-body collision", "11 take the same form as that of Kuwabara and Kono5 and thus are not listed separately. Note that all of these models are quasistatic in nature. For the particles examined here, collision durations are larger than estimates of the wave propagation time,22 thereby lending support to the quasistatic treatment. Table I contains the force law for each of the soft-sphere collision models and the associated input parameters. The notation introduced in the table includes the following: subscripts a and b refer to properties associated with particles a and b, respectively Fig. 1 , m refers to particle mass if no subscript is included, the equation is valid only for identical spheres with mass m , Fn refers to the repulsive normal force experienced by a particle during contact, and refers to particle \u201coverlap.\u201d The particle overlap is defined as = max 0,Ra + Rb \u2212 rb \u2212 ra , 1 where r refers to the position of a given particle center. Also listed in Table I is the regime for which each of the force laws was developed. For further details, the reader is referred to Ref. 19", " Similarly, the inputs to the T model10 are based on material properties, although Thornton and co-workers recognized the sensitivity of the predictions to the value used for the \u201ccutoff pressure\u201d py input23,24 and fitted this value to match measurements of other quantities.25,26 Accordingly, the fitted value of py obtained by Stevens and Hrenya19 is used in the current effort. To obtain model predictions for the postcollisional velocities of all particles using the various soft-sphere models, three identical particles are initially positioned in a line and touching but not overlapping separated by two-particle radii . In order to mimic the Newton\u2019s cradle setup Fig. 1 , particles 2 and 3 are initially motionless, while particle 1 is given a nonzero impact velocity Vimp in the direction of particle 2. The position and velocity of each particle are then tracked throughout the collisional process using the force laws given in Table I. Specifically, the repulsive force Fn is determined at any point in time as a function of overlap , and this force is used in conjunction with Newton\u2019s law of motion no other forces are considered to move forward in time. An explicit integration scheme is used to solve the initial-value problem", " Although e is a function of impact velocity, the values used in the hard-sphere model are assumed constant for purposes of simplicity, as this assumption does not impact the conclusions. In particular, e=0.88 and 0.99 are used for the stainless and chrome steel systems, respectively, based on the measurements of Stevens and Hrenya19 in the midrange of the velocities examined. To apply the two-particle hard-sphere collision model to the three-body collision, a series of two-body collisions is carried out by assuming an infinitesimal spacing between the initially motionless particles particles 2 and 3 in Fig. 1 . Accordingly, the postcollisional velocities of particles 1 and 2 V1 and V2 are first found using Eqs. 2 and 3 where V1o=Vimp and V2o=0. The postcollisional velocity of particle 2 V2 is then used as the precollisional velocity when resolving the subsequent collision between particles 2 and 3 V2o =V2 and V3o=0 . Once the outcomes of this first series of collisions are performed, a check is then made as to whether V1 V2 and V2 V3. Otherwise, a faster particle will catch up to the slower particle and a secondary collision will occur", " Namely, the first collision between particles 1 and 2 leads to a perfect exchange of velocity, as does the second collision between particles 2 and 3. Correspondingly, V3=Vimp while particles 1 and 2 remain motionless at the bottom of the pendulum arc V1=V2=0 . In the first phase of the work, experiments are performed to characterize the outcome of the normal, three-body collision. Based on experience with the Newton\u2019s cradle desktop toy i.e., without the aid of a high-speed camera , the pulling away and subsequent release of the impacting particle particle 1 in Fig. 1 is expected to lead to a velocity exchange with the other end particle particle 3 , while particles 1 and 2 remain touching at the bottom of the arc. The experimental results obtained via high-speed imaging, however, indicate that the expected Newton\u2019s cradle outcome is not observed. Instead, particles 1 and 2 separate slowly after colliding, as shown in the snapshots and corresponding velocity data of Fig. 3. The velocities and separation of particles 1 and 2 are quite small relative to that of particle 3, which explains why the desktop toy gives the appearance of the traditional Newton\u2019s cradle outcome", " In fact, high-speed images were also taken of a commercially available Newton\u2019s cradle toy composed of five spheres, and the four spheres remaining at the bottom of the arc after collision were also observed to separate slightly. For purposes of notation, the Newton\u2019s cradle outcome particles 1 and 2 in contact after collision will hereafter be referred to as NC, while the fully separated outcome no particles in contact after collision will be referred to as FS. Perhaps even more surprising than the FS outcome though is that the striker particle particle 1 reverses its direction negative velocity after the collision Fig. 1 . This behavior is representative of the entire parameter space investigated, as displayed in Fig. 4. Specifically, Fig. 4 contains plots of postcollisional velocities of each sphere V1, V2, and V3 over a range of impact velocities Vimp for the case of chrome steel subplot a and stainless steel subplot b particles. For each system, particles 1 and 2 display a slow separation after the collision FS , with particle 1 reversing its direction and particle 2 continuing in the same direction as the impacting particle" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0002719_978-1-4757-3067-8-Figure3.3-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0002719_978-1-4757-3067-8-Figure3.3-1.png", "caption": "Figure 3.3 Moment of a force about a point.", "texts": [ " However, the mathematical definition of moment and torque is the same.

Owing to the rotation of the object, point P will experience a circular motion with r being the radius of its circular path.

These directions are indicated as nand t in Figure 13.18, and are also known as local coordinates.

Therefore, for a circular motion, the velocity vector can have only one component tangent to the circular path of motion (Figure 13.19) . .!!. is called the tangential or linear velocity.

Its numerical properties have been investigated earlier, e.g., in [18]-[211. Bounds on the errors, which are caused by implementation details of the dynamic programming iteration, have been obtained for finite time interval cost criteria [18], for discounted cost criteria [19], or based on the assumption that the iteration defines a contraction mapping [20], [21]. These results use assumptions that are much different from what would be needed for the stable feedback design problem considered here. It turns out that the numerical computation of J ( z ) is likely to fail as a generally applicable design tool because fundamental problems arise, as discussed in detail in Section 11.\nTo avoid these difficulties, the present paper uses the concept of practical asymptotical stability, a cost criterion with terminal cost and free end time, and a piecewise constant parameterization of the feedback. Based on this, a wellfounded theory is established for the numerical design of nonlinear state regulators, which solves the design problem as posed. A numerical stability test of the computed result is also given.\n11. PROBLEM FORMULATION\nA. The Plant\nConsider a nonlinear plant P\nZt+l = f (x t ,u t ) (1)\nwith state xt E R\", control ut E R\", and discrete time t E Z:.

The objective here is to set up a numerical design method, that can handle this situation and which computes a stabilizing feedback controller, if one exists.\nB.

(3)\nU The inclusion of an asymptotic requirement on the input in the above two definitions is made for simplicity; it can be dropped if desired.\nC. Background Theory\nWe are interested in a feedback controller that generates asymptotic control in the sense of Definition 2. For the existence of such a controller, asymptotic controllability is obviously necessary. But if the plant is asymptotically controllable, then such a controller exists and, in addition, exists in the form of state feedback. This is summarized by Theorem 1, which we consider as essentially known. The proof of the theorem is constructive, and this construction serves as a starting point for developing our numerical feedback design method.\nTheorem I: A feedback k such that the closed-loop system xt+l = f(xt,lc(zt)) is asymptotically stable from G to the origin exists, if and only if the plant is asymptotically controllable from G to the origin.\nProofi Asymptotic controllability is obviously necessary for asymptotic stabilizability. Sufficiency can be shown constructively, where the essential steps are as follows.\nIf the plant is asymptotically controllable from G to the origin, then a continuous, positive definite function [(z, U ) exists2 such that for all z E G the right-hand side of\nis well defined and assumes values below some finite constant\nLet M denote the set of points in R\" such that the right-hand 70 := S U P , ~ G J (x ) . side of (4) exists, and define\nWe note that G c ro. Moreover, in r0 we have J ( x ) is positive definite and decrescent, the latter as a consequence of the asymptotic controllability.\nFor all z E ro the function J ( x ) satisfies the equation\nSince !( . ) is positive definite, the existence of k(z) follows, such that for all z E r0\n(7)\nany feedback function, the stability of the resulting feedback system is defined as follows. 2~~ see this, let T' := supzEG 11x11 and let U ( . ) characterize the asymptotic controllability according to (2). Then one may take, for example, e(z ,u ) = p'(JJzlJ + 1Ju11), where p' E Kv is such that p ' (U(r ' , t ) ) is summable over t .

This gives rise to a mathematical feedback construction, where J ( z ) is specified as the limit of (8) first, and then k ( z ) is chosen so as to satisfy (7). From this construction an algorithm for numerical computations may be derived. A numerical design method which is general, computer implementable, and reliable, however, would not be obtained in this way for a number of reasons to be discussed below.\nExample: Consider the computation of J ( z ) at two discrete points z1,z2. Suppose that f ( zz ,u ) for i = 1 , 2 lie on certain segments of a straight line between z1 and 22, as indicated in Fig. 1. For computation purposes, let J ( z ) at intermediate points on this line be approximated by linear interpolation. Then, with l ( z , u ) 2 [(z), (8) results in\nJT+l(zz) 2 ((ZZ) + ( J T ( X 3 ) ) .\nJ O ( 2 , ) = 0\nfor i = 1,2, and thereby\ni.e., the iteration diverges if e(zi) # 0, (i = 1 , Z ) . Such a divergence may occur even when the discretization density is arbitrarily high. To see this, consider a continuous time plant with a flow of trajectories as shown in Fig. 2 and a path length from zt to zt+l of (?(ut) . IIxtJI, where a(.) E [0,1/10] is continuous. (Note that the discrete time mapping ( z t ,u t ) -+ zt+l is continuous, although the under0 lying continuous time system is not.) 3Different from [12], a control Lyapunov function is not assumed differentiable nor continuous here.\n35\nD. The Problem of a Reliable Numerical Feedback Design\nLet us assume that an analytic solution to the feedback design problem is not available and, therefore, a pointwise numerically computed solution is wanted. Assume further that any cost of computation in terms of storage and computation time would be acceptable, provided two things: First, it must be guaranteed that, no matter what the plant is, if there exists a solution to the problem, then the implemented design algorithm will find one. And second, the associated cost of computation must be finite. These are the main requirements being pursued here for a reliable numerical feedback design method.\nIt is evident that the feedback construction (7), (8) cannot be used for numerical computations unless modifications such as approximations, interpolations, and parameterizations are made. For a reliable design method, all such modifications must be included in an extended theoretical background and, in particular, the stability of the feedback loop must be established theoretically for a controller, which is defined and can be computed by a finite implementable algorithm.\nIn this sense, this paper seeks to extend the above background theory toward a reliable numerical feedback design. There are at least three basic subproblems involved:\nThe bounded computing region problem: The computations must involve G, the desired stability region. They must also involve ro, the region of closed-loop system trajectories (3, which is typically unknown and larger than G. So one has to set up a sufficiently large computing region to include T'O. But then the computing region may contain points or subsets where J(n:) is undefined, which is numerically intractable.\nMoreover, when computing J ( x ) , the term J ( f (n : , U ) ) in (6) or (8) can be evaluated only at points f ( z , u ) within the computing region. But in most cases, the possible trajectories of the plant cannot but leave the computing region from certain points or subsets. Ways of handling this problem will introduce systematic errors, which may propagate far into the computing region through the need of interpolation. The finite parameterization problem: Since only finite computer storage is available, J ( z ) as well as k ( z ) must be parameterized by a finite number of parameters.", "36 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL, VOL. 39, NO. 1, JANUARY 1994\nThe parameterization should be of a standardized type, B. Practical Control Lyapunov Function applicable to all plants P, which are asymptotically controllable. It is well known [22] that certain plants cannot be stabilized by a continuous k(x) (see also Section V for an example). Hence, at least for the feedback, the parameterization must also be capable of representing discontinuous functions.\nWith a finite, standardized type of parameterization, both J ( x ) and k ( x ) can only be represented within limited accuracy. But a parameterized feedback, which is in this way constrained and nevertheless asymptotically stabilizes the plant, may not exist. iii) The systematic error propagation problem: If J T ( x ) is represented in parameterized form with limited accuracy, then systematic errors are introduced in (8), and the iteration may diverge. As the above example shows, this can occur even when the parameterization density is good enough for representing the true functions within an arbitrarily small, nonzero error bound. As a consequence, even with highest parameterization accuracy, an accumulation of systematic errors to substantial amounts may occur, and, therefore, the computed JT(z) is not guaranteed to be a control Lyapunov function. Accordingly, a feedback k(x), which is computed from J T ( z ) , is not ensured to be stabilizing from G to the origin.\nTo account for the above and related problems, the present paper uses three modifications: First, practical asymptotical stability is used, which can be made arbitrarily close to asymptotical stability. Second, a cost criterion with terminal cost and free terminal time is used. And third, a parameterized controller which is piecewise constant in the state space is used, where the parameterization density remains as a free design parameter. These ingredients are properly combined to a theoretically founded, reliable numerical feedback design method, which also includes a numerical stability test.\n111. PRACTICAL STABILITY AND FEEDBACK CONTROL\nA. Practical Asymptotical Stability\nIn an asymptotically stable system, all trajectories will go to the origin asymptotically. We say that a system is practically asymptotically stable if its trajectories go to a neighborhood of the origin\n(9)\nasymptotically in a way as specified by the following definition.\nDejinition 3 (Practical Asymptotical Stability): A feedback system xt+l = f(zt, k(xt)) is said to be practically asymptotically stable from G to N(ro) , if there exists a ~ ( r , t ) E K,, such that for all x E G\nN ( r ) := { x E R n ~ ~ ~ x ~ ~ 5 r }\nll&(x)II + llk(4:(x))ll I max{ro, 4l l4 l>t)}7\n. _\nAs a candidate of a practical control Lyapunov function, i.e., a control Lyapunov function for practical asymptotical stability, we define the extended cost criterion\nrt'-i 1\nIt differs from the infinite time horizon criterion J ( x ) through the fact that it considers the cost over all possible finite time horizons with terminal cost V and takes the infinium of these.\nThroughout the paper, unless otherwise stated, let !(x,u) and V ( x ) be continuous and positive definite, with estimates %, pe, gp -% E Kp such that for all x E R\", U E R\"\n~ e ( l l ~ l l ) + (Pe(llxll) I '(x, U ) 5 (Pe(Ilx11) + (Pe(llull) (12) (13) g~(l l~ l l ) 5 V ( 4 5 (PV(11~11)\nand with a bounded region c R\" such that\ne(., U ) > v ( x ) V x 61 r, U E R\" .

This positions the t-force to put stress on the cp and spoke linkages as well as the attached dyneins. Which of these two pathways experiences the greater share of the t-force tension will depend in great measure on the mechanical properties of the spoke\u2013cp axis. After the dynein bridges release, as shown in (B), all of the t-force must be held by the spoke\u2013cp axis and the nexin links. This will produce a distortion of the axoneme as illustrated in (B). The extent of the distortion will depend on the mechanical properties of the spoke\u2013cp axis. Adapted from Lindemann27; reproduced with permission.", "texts": [ " Applying the same quick-freeze deep-etch technique to rapidly frozen beating flagella might confirm that such a transition to the undocked state is present in the strongly bent regions of actively beating flagella. If, in fact, the axoneme is using t-force to switch the dyneins, then the t-force will be acting to distort the axoneme during the beat cycle. When the dyneins release from their cross-bridged active configuration the doublets should recoil away from each other in response to the unsupported t-force acting on the nexin links and spokes as illustrated in FIGURE 4. This raises the second issue for experimental verification: 2. Does the axoneme distort during the beat cycle? Recently, Sakakibara et al. used AFM to demonstrate that the action of the dynein motors results in an oscillation of the axoneme diameter in immobilized sea urchin flagella.34 This would indicate that engagement of the dynein motors alters the inter-doublet spacing, which is consistent with the Geometric Clutch hypothesis. Additionally, the transmission electron microscope (TEM) images presented by Mitchell using a fixation technique that successfully preserved the waveform of the Chlamydomonas beat, appear to show that the axoneme becomes wider in the bent regions.35 This is exactly what would be expected if the t-force were distorting the axoneme, as in FIGURE 4. While these observations are suggestive, more definitive evidence is needed to confirm that the inter-doublet distances change during the normal beat cycle. The changes in spatial relationships within the axoneme of active flagellar or cilia should be visible in freeze fracture replicas of fast frozen flagella or cilia, such as those so elegantly presented by Goodenough and Heuser.30,36 The new technique of Cryo-EM tomography should also be capable of seeing the change in doublet separations if vitrified specimens of active flagella are examined", "41 The Geometric Clutch mechanism suggests that anchoring the doublets at the tip rather than the base should also be able to restore beating, and in that case the direction of bend propagation should be reversed, as illustrated in FIGURE 5. This prediction remains to be tested. When a flagellum or a cilium beats, the dyneins on the doublets of one hemicircle of the axoneme must work together to generate the tension that bends the flagellum. This means that in most cilia or flagella the dyneins on doublets 1, 2, 3, and 4 work together to bend the axoneme in one direction and the dyneins on doublets 6, 7, 8, and 9 work together to bend the axoneme in the opposite direction (see FIG. 4). The force that is contributed by the concerted action of each of these two dynein groups ends up as tension and compression on doublets 1 and 5\u20136. In the flagella and cilia of metazoans, the 5\u20136 doublets are permanently bridged and act as a unit. Consequently, all (or most) of the tension contributed by the dyneins ends up directed across the center of the axoneme. This also means that most, or all, of the t-force that develops acts across the central axis as well. Since the radial spokes from doublets 1 and 5\u20136 appear to interact with the cp projections this raises the question of the role of the spoke\u2013cp axis in the distribution of the t-force, as illustrated in FIGURE 4. There are many unanswered questions regarding the role of the spoke\u2013cp axis in managing the t-force. In the context of the Geometric Clutch mechanism this is a crucial issue; the points of major interest are illustrated in FIGURE 6. The flexibility of the cp projections could play a role in governing the distribution of t-force between the dyneins and the spokes. The more the t-force that is carried by the spoke\u2013cp axis, the less t-force the dynein motors will experience; thus, a greater curvature will develop before dynein disengagement occurs" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0003119_1.2044787-Figure16-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0003119_1.2044787-Figure16-1.png", "caption": "Fig. 16 Some 3-DOF PPR-equivalent PMs of family 2: \u201ea\u2026 2-\u201eR RR\u2026NRa-\u201eR RPR\u2026A, and \u201eb\u2026 2-\u201eP RR\u2026NRa-\u201eP RPR\u2026A", "texts": [ " For instance, Fig. 17 shows a 2-RP U-UP U PPR-equivalent PM.

An analysis of this inequality (Merlet 1993b) enables us to establish the following rule:\nRule 7: Let a be the angle between the vectors Aimi + CBj, MiM2. If the distance between the points A2 and Bj is greater than d when the endeffector location is M1 and M2, then the distance between these points will be less than d for some C on the line joining M] and M2 if and only if:\nThe union had of all the forbidden intervals for A for each constraint describes the parts of the trajectory that are outside the workspace. We get:\n2.4. Computation Time\nThe above algorithms have been implemented in a workspace computation program. This program is written in C on a Sun Sparc2 workstation. The computation time for verifying the link lengths constraints is approximately 1.6 ms if the trajectory is correct and 2 ms if some points are outside the workspace. A computation time of 1.34 to 1.72 ms is necessary for checking link interference between a pair of links. As for the mechanical limits on the passive joints, the computation time for one face of one pyramid is approximately 0.3 ms.\nIf we check all the constraints, the computation time for a trajectory is approximately 29 ms. Such a time seems to be adequate with a real-time computation.\n2.5. Examples\nWe have performed trajectory verification for a prototype of a parallel manipulator developed by Arai et al. (1990) at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory in Tsukuba (Figs. 4 and 5).\n3. Trajectory With a Varying Orientation In the case of a constant orientation we have seen that the constraints can be expressed under the form of algebraic equations in the variable A. If we now introduce a varying orientation, we have no more algebraic constraints,\nthe base joints (computation time: 1. 99 ms and 3.16b ms j.\nas A will appear in the sines and cosines of the rotation matrix.\nTo get algebraic constraints equations, we split the trajectory in elementary parts such that the change in the orientation will be small. As the orientation will affect\nonly the vector CB, we will use a first- or secondorder approximation for this vector. Let Mi, M2 denote the extremities of one elementary part of the trajectory; \u2019ljJ1, 01, CPI the angles describing the orientation of the end effector at point M1; and ~2~2.

Link Length Constraints\nBy using equation (1) and a second-order approximation (23), we obtain the square of the link length p2 as a third-order polynomial Pp(A). As for the constant orientation case, the analysis of the polynomial PP(~) - Pmax2, ~PP(~) - Prrun enables us to compute the intervals of A in [0,1 such that the link length is greater than its maximum value or lower than its minimal value.\n3.2. Constraints on the Passive Joints\nUsing a second-order approximation of CB (23) together with equation ( 1 ), the constraint equation (7) leads to a second-order inequality. Analysis of this inequality yields the intervals on A such that some point of the link lies outside the pyramid. By considering all the set of faces of every pyramid, we get those parts of the trajectory that do not satisfy the joints constraints. A similar analysis can be done for the passive joints of the mobile plate. The following simplification rules can be established (Merlet 1993b):\nRule 8: Let ni be the external normal to the face i of the pyramid describing the constraints on the base joint. Let U1, U2 be the vectors of the second-order approximation of CB. If, at the extreme points of T, the vector AB lies inside the pyramid with respect to face and if U2.n;T > 0, then the constraint on the joint is satisfied on the whole T. Rule 9: If, at the extreme points of T, the vector AB lies inside the pyramid with respect to face i, this constraint will not be satisfied at some points of T if and only if:\n3.3. Link Interference\n3.3.1. Distance Between the Lines\nLet ll~ denote the distance between lines 1 and 2. By using equation (1) and a first-order approximation (22), the inequality ll~ < d can be written as a fourth-order polynomial in A P(A) > 0.\nIf the common perpendicular points Ql, Q2 of lines 1\nand 2 belong to the links, we get link interference. We define a], a2 such that A1Q1 = 0: 1 Al HI, A2Q2 = a2A2B2 and we get:\nwhere r, s, t are constants. We compute the intervals of [0,1] where P(A) > 0 (i.e., lt2 < c~, P(az) > 0 {i.e., ai > 0), P(c~z) - Pd :::; 0 (i.e., aj < 1). All these intervals can be easily derived from the analysis of the various polynomials. The intersection ID of all these intervals defines the components of T for which link interference occurs. If Id is empty, the distance between the lines (which is a lower bound of the distance between the links) is always greater than d. Consequently, the distance between the links is also always greater than d. If Id is not empty and ID is empty, we cannot conclude that the distance between the lines is less than d, but the distance between the links is greater than the distance between the lines.\n3.3.2. Distance Between the Points Bi and Their\nProjections\nThe distance l from point Bl to line 2 is given by equation (14). Using equations (1) and (23), the inequality\nr)2\n1 <_ d leads to a fourth-order inequality PB\u2019 (a) > 0.

Now it is easy to see that the center of gravity of the hexapod will shift a distance h tan 0, where 0 is the slope angle and h is the height between q( t ) and the sloped plane, away from the horizontal plane. As a result, the critical support patterns of the tripod gait for crab walking on the sloped plane will also shift a distance A(0) = h tan 0 compared to that on the perfectly flat terrain, as illustrated by Fig. 9. Furthermore, the forbidden areas for the triangular support pattern are redefined as shown on Fig. 10.\nBased on the above observations, the tripod gaits for straight-line walking over flat terrain can be generalized to cover the case of tripod gaits on constant slope terrain. Thus we have the following theorem:\nTheorem 5 Assume a hexapod is to walk on a constant slope plane with slope angle 0. The tripod gait for straight-line walking with stability margin S is as follows:\n1 ) The foothold positions are as shown on Fig. 3(a). 2) The sequence of movement for body and legs is as given by\nSimilarly, for crab walk on a slope plane, the forbidden areas for the triangular support pattern could be redefined as shown in Fig. 1 1, and we have the following hexapod tripod gait as given by Theorem 6.\nTheorem 6 Assume a hexapod is to walk on a constant slope plane with slope angle 8.

In fact, Theorems 1-5 are all special cases of Theorem 6. Any of Theorems 1-5 can be derived from Theorem 6 by substituting suitable values of 0 and a.\nSince the slope angle 0 affects the stability margin of the support pattern of the hexapod, there must be some specific value of 0 that causes zero stability margin. In the following, we will investigate the maximal slope angle, Omax, so that the hexapod can walk without causing instability.

In particular, the mathematical expression representing the relations between the stability margin, the stride length, and the duty factor are formulated.\nThe tripod gait of the hexapod for crab walking over perfectly flat terrain and over constant slope terrain are derived, respectively. We reiterate that these results are obtained based on the assumptions that 1 ) the hexapod has a symmetrical structure, 2) the reachable area of each leg is a rectangular region, 3) the initial foothold positions should be specified before the locomotion starts, and 4) the sequence for liftoff and placing the feet are as specified. It should be noted that by simply combining derived tripod gaits for moving straightforward and crab walking, one can achieve obstacle avoidence path planning and, possibly, the suitable gaits for a hexapod walking over irregular surface which can be approximated by the piecewise segments of perfect flat terrain and the constant slope terrain. Thus far, some preliminary results have been obtained. The complete solutions to this problem are still under investigation.\nREFERENCES\n[ I ] R . B. McGhee and A . A .

The second is by altering the orientation of the clubhead relative to the ball at impact. The orientation of the clubhead will affect the distance the ball travels by changing the launch angle relative to the horizontal, the direction of ball flight, and the spin rate of the ball. Prior to impact with the ball, the shaft can be measured bending about three orthogonal axes fixed to the grip end of the club. Deflection along the Y axis represents lead/lag motion (Fig. 1a), while deflection along the X axis represents toe-up/toe-down motion (Fig. 1b). Twisting about the longitudinal, Z, axis of the shaft can also occur. Compared to the magnitude of deflection about the other axes, twisting about the longitudinal axis has a negligible influence on both the orientation of the clubhead and its velocity at impact, and therefore, will not be considered in this paper [2]. Butler and Winfield [2] measured peak deflection values in the lag direction as large as 7 cm, and peak deflections in the toe-up direction greater than 15 cm. In their study, three golfers swinging the same club at 46 m/s, produced toe-down deflections at impact that S", " The model was capable of torso rotation, horizontal abduction at the shoulder, external rotation at the shoulder, and ulnar deviation at the wrist. Four muscular torque generators, which adhered to the force\u2013velocity and activation rate properties of human muscle, were incorporated to add energy to the system. The four segments of the modeled club were connected in series by rotational spring-damper elements (Fig. 3). The hand and most proximal club segment were combined to represent a single segment, Club_Proximal [5]. The shafts were capable of deflecting about two axes (Fig. 1). Further details on model development and parameters have previously been presented [9]. Three versions of the same base model were used in this study. They differed only with regards to the constraint parameters governing the maximum torque output from the four torque generators. This allowed the role of shaft flexibility to be evaluated for golfers that generate three different levels of clubhead speed (i.e. Golfer-Slow *35 m/s, Golfer-Medium *43 m/s, and Golfer-Fast *50 m/s).

This type of representation eliminates geometry as one of the variables, and makes it possible to focus attention on the mechanical properties of different materials. For example, consider the curves in Figure 7.6, representing the mechanical behavior of materials A and B in simple tension. It is clear that material B can be deformed more easily than material A in a uniaxial tension test, or material A is \"stiffer\" than material B. 7.4 Simple Stress Consider the cantilever beam shown in Figure 7.7a. The beam has a circular cross-section, cross-sectional area A, welded to the wall at one end, and is subjected to a tensile force with magnitude F at the other end. The bar does not move, so it is in equilib rium. To analyze the forces induced within the beam, the method of sections can be applied by hypothelically cutting the beam into two pieces through a plane ABCD perpendicular to the centerline of the beam. Since the beam as a whole is in equilib rium, the two pieces must individually be in equilibrium as well. This requires the presence of an internal force collinear with the externally applied force at the cut section of each piece. To sat isfy the condition of equilibrium, the internal forces must have the same magnitude as the external force (Figure 7.7b). The in ternal force at the cut section represents the resultant of a force system distributed over the cross-sectional area of the beam (Fig ure 7.7c). The intensity of the internal force over the cut section (force per unit area) is known as the stress. For the case shown in Figure 7.7, since the force resultant at the cut section is per pendicular (normal) to the plane of the cut, the corresponding stress is called a normal stress. It is customary to use the symbol a (sigma) to refer to normal stresses. The intensity of this dis tributed force mayor may not be uniform (constant) throughout the cut section. Assuming that the intensity of the distributed force at the cut section is uniform over the cross-sectional area A, the normal stress can be calculated using: F a == A (7.1) If the intensity of the stress distribution over the area is not uniform, then Eq" ], "surrounding_texts": [] }, { "image_filename": "designv10_8_0002898_0890-6955(95)00091-7-Figure1-1.png", "original_path": "designv10-8/openalex_figure/designv10_8_0002898_0890-6955(95)00091-7-Figure1-1.png", "caption": "Fig. 1.

First of all, it has a variable contact pressure, which is suitable for studying pure elastic contact. Moreover, it has a variable contact curvature radius (Figure 9.11). Therefore, this method shows the ability to simulate real contact conditions. However, it is difficult to measure the contact radius experimentally, especially in the elastic regime that is characteristic for nanoindentation. While sharp indentation depends on the indentation depth, spherical indentation depends on the sphere radius [21], the hardness increasing with a decreasing indenter radius.

Grove and Newell attacked the problem by means of models of tails rotated in a tank and confirmed an epibatic effect of a heterocercal tail. In addition to the epibatic effect, they also proposed a simple mechanism by which the tail could deliver a horizontal thrust if the actions of the epicaudal and hypochordal lobes were offsetting around the notochordal axis (1936, figure 4 ) . Harris (1936, 1938) extended these experiments by use of wind tunnel tests of a model of Mustelus. Experiments on the lines of those of Grove and Newell were developed by Affleck (1950) who showed that in fact a whole range of effects could be produced by variation in the shape and orientation of heterocercal, hypocercal and homocercal models. Alexander (1956) continued the experiments further by the use of whole amputated tails instead of models and, in producing the first quantitative data, again confirmed an epibatic effect from a heterocercal tail", " In fishes with a heterocercal tail, such an orientation of the thrust is produced as the result of a balance between opposing tendencies in the tail and the mechanism will be termed the \"balanced thrust\" mechanism. The correct balance of forces for such an orientation, in the simple model we have considered so far, can be calculated as follows. The correct line of action departs from the horizontal by an angle depending on the horizontal distance between the center of gravity and the center of effort of the fin, and on the vertical elevation of the center of effort above the longitudinal axis containing the center of gravity. This defines the angle of elevation of the tail (Figure 4, el). The angle between the line of thrust and the long axis of the tail itself may be termed the (dorsal) thrust angle (Figure 4, th) and it will be seen that the thrust angle plus the angle of elevation are equal to the heterocercal angle. Balance will occur (Figure 5) when the hypobatic thrust F, is balanced by a per pendicular epibatic thrust B, the resolution of the two forces giving a net thrust through the center of gravity. The relative dimensions of F and B are given as follows.

Referring back to our simple model, we can calculate a series of \"balanced\" values of the (dorsal) thrust angle and angle of rotation for different hypothetical ratios of F/T (Table 1). Because it seems reasonable that the upper limit on the angle of rotation would be 45\u00b0, we can also place upper limits on the angles of thrust and therefore, given the relationship between the angle of thrust and the heterocercal angle (Figure 4 ) , upon the latter also.

A prototype was built but was neither characterized nor integrated into a microgripper. Information about the performance of this sensor, such as resolution or accuracy, is not available. A two-axes capacitive force sensor for the handling and characterization of biological cells was presented in [27], Figure 6.5a. Force Feedback for Nanohandling 181 The outer fixed frame and the inner moveable plate are connected by four springs. A force acting on the tip causes a movement of the inner plate and thus a change of the distance between each pair of the comb-like capacitors. The force can be calculated from the total capacity. The stiffness of the sensor, and thus its measurement range, can be adjusted by changing the dimensions of the springs. To be able to measure forces in the x- and y-directions, several comb drives were arranged perpendicularly (Figure 6.5b). Two capacitors in the middle of the inner plate were designed as reference capacitors for the signal-processing circuit. Strain and force measurement can also be realized using optical methods. For instance, either passive micro strain gages which are mechanically amplified can be used [28] (Figure 6.6), or strain in the nanometer range is measured using a light-optical microscope and image-processing tools [29].
