To achieve user-friendliness, one area of research focuses on recovering and reusing kinetic walking energy for dynamic control. This paper proposes a new design for a magnetorheological (MR) valve, along with a rotary actuator which offers a dynamic control for a lower limb prosthesis. The design will allow the storage of the energy during heel and mid-foot contact phases and to utilize it during toe support to lift the foot off the ground and establish a balance for the lower limb prosthesis. The energy is transferred through a magnetorheological hydraulic circuit and stored using a pneumatic system. The speed of energy transfer is regulated by magnetorheological valves. A series of MR valve designs were proposed and evaluated experimentally, which allowed the identification of the most suitable variant in the targeted application context. The design of the lower limb prosthesis was simulated using SolidWorks, and its dynamic behavior was analyzed in ANSYS.","PeriodicalId":17252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142226977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simulation test bench was built to further simulate the temperature of human epidermis, and the relationship between the end distance of moxibustion robot and the heating of human epidermis was determined. The simulation and experimental results show that: a) The robot does not appear serious impact or stutter phenomenon in the simulation process, and the kinematics performance is good, which verifies the feasibility of the robot model; and b) during the simulation test, the heating temperature of human epidermis can be maintained at 43 °C, which realizes the expected moxibustion temperature of patients and verifies the effectiveness of the robot model.","PeriodicalId":17252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142216545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This game is a robotic learning and imitation task. It is based on visual interaction of the player. The cornerstone technique used in this game is natural learner unit pattern generator neural networks (NLUPGNN), which is able to generate required motion trajectories based on imitation learning. The systematic design of these neural networks is the main problem solved in this paper. The unit pattern generators can be divided into two subsystems, a rhythmic system and a discrete system. A special learning algorithm is designed to use these unit pattern generators. The unit pattern generators are connected and coupled to each other to form a network, and their unknown parameters are found by a natural policy gradient learning algorithm. The motion sequences train some nonlinear oscillators, then they reproduce motions for a humanoid robot. As a result, the joints of the humanoid body imitate the movements of the teacher in real time. The main contribution of this work is the development of this learning algorithm, which is able to search the weights and topology of the network simultaneously. The algorithm synchronizes the learning steps by coupling the neurons in the last step.","PeriodicalId":17252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142216546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the bearing vibration signal is directly input into the wide convolutional kernel for rapid feature extraction, reducing the interference of high-frequency noise. Secondly, a modified rectified linear unit (M-ReLU) activation function is designed to solve the problem of “neuron death” in the ReLU activation function. Then, a bidirectional interactive feature extraction module is constructed, and the features extracted are input into the bidirectional interactive feature extraction module to capture the channel and spatial feature information simultaneously. Next, the extracted information is imported the presented feature enhancement module to achieve more valuable information transmission and accumulation. Finally, a small convolutional kernel is applied to further extract feature information, and a global average pooling layer is used to replace the fully connected layer, reducing the number of parameters while avoiding the problem of model overfitting. The softmax is utilized to classify the types of bearing faults. Two different data sets are adopted to validate the fault diagnosis performance of BICNN model under − 4 dB and variable operating conditions. Experimental results show that the average recognition accuracy reaches 97.71% under variable load and 98.25% under variable speeds, which is higher than other comparison methods. It is verified that the proposed method has higher diagnostic accuracy and generalization ability in complex working conditions.","PeriodicalId":17252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142216547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enhance the robustness of the control against unknown but bounded uncertainties, we propose a model-free adaptive sliding mode control strategy enhanced by a variable impedance approach. The adaptation law prevents the overestimation of control gain in the presence of uncertainty and ensures the sliding condition to mitigate the effects of unknown uncertainties. The variable impedance approach also allows the impedance of the entire system to adapt dynamically over the gait cycle and maintain the accuracy of the robot in tracking desired joint trajectories. We provide a detailed stability proof using Lyapunov theory and demonstrate the finite-time convergence of the defined sliding surface. The proposed strategy does not require knowledge of model parameters, resulting in reduced computational complexity. A lower extremity rehabilitation exoskeleton model was utilized as an illustrative example. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, we conducted several simulations using a lower-limb rehabilitation exoskeleton model. Comparative evaluations were performed against conventional control methods such as the conventional sliding mode and computed torque controllers. The results indicate the effective performance of the proposed controller in the presence of impedance, in reducing the detrimental effects of interaction forces and model uncertainty, as well as accurately tracking the desired gait trajectories.","PeriodicalId":17252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142216576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, the stiffness and strain output accuracy of the model greatly improved compared to previous studies. The accuracy of the theoretical model is examined in a sensor dimension range by statistical error and parameter analysis. Comparing with the finite element model, results show that the percent error of the theoretical model is 2% for strain, 5% for stiffness, 3% for first natural frequency, and 8% for equivalent stresses, with all correlations above 98%. Comparing the optimization results with the literature, although the y-shaped structure shows similar mechanical behavior with the cross-beam structure, the voltage output of the y-shaped structure is increased up to (100%) for force/moment axes.

To tackle this problem, this study commences by examining the connotations of main and total effect indices for correlated variables. Three new time-dependent ROSA indices are proposed in this work, specifically, the individual uncorrelated effect index, the total correlated effect index, and the individual interaction effect index, which enable a comprehensive exploration of the diverse effects of correlated random variables on the time-dependent reliability of planar linkage mechanisms. Additionally, efficient computational procedure is developed by combining the envelope function method with Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the proposed time-dependent ROSA indices.
