These time delays often cause unstable vibrations during the operation of these systems. Such phenomena occur as the chattering of machine tools and as the pattern formation phenomena in contact rotating systems. In the present report, the authors investigate the property of a new stability analysis developed for unstable vibration in contact rotating systems and apply it to a system with a time delay of one half of a rotation period. As a typical example, a prevention method used to change the structural design is formulated for two- and three-DOF systems. The validity of the present method is confirmed by the results of numerical computations.","PeriodicalId":151961,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series C-mechanical Systems Machine Elements and Manufacturing","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123787259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Successful teleoperation depends on how well images taken by the mobile robot are visualized to the user. To enhance the efficiency and flexibility of the visualization, an image retrieval system on such a robot’s image database would be very useful. The main difference of the robot’s image database from standard image databases is that various relevant images exist due to variety of viewing conditions. The main contribution of this paper is to propose an efficient retrieval approach, named location-driven approach, utilizing correlation between visual features and real world locations of images. Combining the location-driven approach with the conventional feature-driven approach, our goal can be viewed as finding an optimal classifier between relevant and irrelevant feature-location pairs. An active learning technique based on support vector machine is extended for this aim.","PeriodicalId":151961,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series C-mechanical Systems Machine Elements and Manufacturing","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129575189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this robot system, the motion parameters of the robot, which are maximum velocity, velocity profile peak and handing position, can be adjusted by the voice commands or the hand gestures in order to realize the most appropriate motion of the robot. Furthermore, the cooperator can order the handing of objects using voice commands along with hand gestures. In these voice commands, the cooperator can use adverbs. This permits the cooperator to realize efficient adjustments, because the adjustment value of each motion parameters is determined by adverbs. In particular, adjustment values corresponding to adverbs are estimated by fuzzy inference in order to take into consideration the ambiguities of human speech.","PeriodicalId":151961,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series C-mechanical Systems Machine Elements and Manufacturing","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130832619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pipe becomes unstable when the fluid in a pipe is faster than the critical velocity. If the velocity of the fluid in a pipe varies with time, however, the instability of a pipe will occur even though the mean velocity of the fluid is below the critical velocity. In this paper, a new method for the stability analysis of a pipe conveying fluid which pulsates periodically is presented. The finite element model is formulated to solve the governing equation numerically. The coupled effects of several harmonic components in the velocity of fluid to a pipe is discussed. A new unstable region is shown in this paper which will not appear in the stability analysis of single pulsating frequency. The results of the stability analysis presented in this paper are verified by the time domain anlysis.","PeriodicalId":151961,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series C-mechanical Systems Machine Elements and Manufacturing","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130176176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Characteristics on the magnetic suspension actuator are studied from the design concept to construct a ball and beam system. The mathematical model of the system was derived via the Lagrangian function. The magnetic force as a function of position and coil current was measured and modeled by a quadratic function. A control law was developed following backstepping control procedures. To implement this ball and beam system, a linear feedback sensor and control circuit is designed and fabricated using a single chip microprocessor with basic electronic circuits as the control kernel. The ball and beam system is tested on both static and dynamic performance, especially in oscillatory stabilization and sinusoidal tracking.","PeriodicalId":151961,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series C-mechanical Systems Machine Elements and Manufacturing","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129441196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the paper describes a method to determine interference-free tool posture, based on not every cutting point but every path. The system generates a ruled surface between an offset curve from cutting points and a parametric curve on an interference surface. Rotation of the ruled surface by moving control points on it allows a boundary tool locus, which does not interfere with a workpiece. Tool postures corresponding to a cutting point curve are rapidly determined by appropriately selecting the curve within the area surrounded by two ruled surfaces. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by making a cutting experiment of an impeller.","PeriodicalId":151961,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series C-mechanical Systems Machine Elements and Manufacturing","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123022595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the conventional MRAC scheme, the controller is designed to realize the plant output convergence to the reference model output based on the assumption that the plant can be linearized. This scheme is effective for controlling a linear plant with unknown parameters in the ideal case. However, it may not be assured to succeed in controlling a nonlinear plant with unknown structures in the real case. We incorporate a neural network in the MRAC to overcome this problem. The control input is given by the sum of the output of the adaptive controller and the output of the NN. The NN is used to compensate for the nonlinearity of the plant that is not taken into consideration in the conventional MRAC. We developed an efficient method for calculating the sensitivity of the plant that is utilized in the NN to perform the backpropagation algorithm very efficiently. The plant of the magnetic levitation system has inherent strong nonlinearities due to the natural properties of the magnetic fields and uncertainties. Therefore, to confirm the effectiveness of our proposed controller, we implemented our proposed controller in real time on an experimental test bed of a magnetic levitation system. Finally, experimental results verified that the proposed control strategy has the advantages of tracking desired output perfectly and reducing the error.","PeriodicalId":151961,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series C-mechanical Systems Machine Elements and Manufacturing","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115788838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we aim to develop a noncontact support system for thin steel plates with high robustness using sliding mode control, which is tolerant to factors such as disturbances within control signals and external forces affecting the system. As a result, it was verified that the suppressive effect of the sliding mode control on disturbances is sufficient, and that the application of the continuous model provides the construction of a system with robustness to the disturbance of the external forces.","PeriodicalId":151961,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series C-mechanical Systems Machine Elements and Manufacturing","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127002134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
