Fingertip friction perception characteristics have not formed a clear and complete theory, owing to the low repeatability and accuracy of related experiments. Given this, a novel experimental method is proposed based on ridged surfaces for investigating the fingertip friction perception characteristics. In this method, based on the Universal Mechanical Tester (UMT) TriboLab, the proposed experiment makes subjects touch ridged surfaces under different ridge sizes and lubrication conditions, aiming to obtain fingertip friction and subject judgment. Subsequently, the average friction force fluctuation degree and the tactile perception accuracy are calculated to analyze the friction characteristics. For this, the relationship between friction and perception characteristics is discussed further. The results show that the adhesive and the deformation friction forces, which mainly consist of the total friction force under incomplete contact conditions, decrease due to the lubricating oil. However, the adhesive friction force increases slightly as the ridge widens. In addition, when the ridge spacing is raised, the deformation friction force increases and becomes the dominant component, while the adhesive friction force is the opposite. While analyzing the friction characteristics, it is found that the tactile perception accuracy is enhanced by raising the average friction force fluctuation. Moreover, the tactile perception accuracy can be improved by changing the surface texture and lubrication conditions, due to the changes in fingertip friction characteristics.","PeriodicalId":18413,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Sciences","volume":"3 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135216879","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}

Surface topography is an important parameter for evaluating the quality of surface machining, and the stress concentrations produced at notches can have a profound effect on the fatigue life of notched components. The stress concentration factor (SCF, Kt) and relative stress gradient (RSG, χ) are important parameters used to quantitatively characterize stress concentration. In this study, a finite-element (FE) method was used to evaluate the surface SCF and RSG and determine the effect of microscopic surface topography on machined surfaces. An FE simulation of the static tension test of V-notched round-bar specimens was performed, and the stress due to the local surface topography was investigated. The FE method was used to analyze the stress concentration of round-bar specimens with Kt=1, and the reliability of the results was verified using a perturbation method. The FE method was used to calculate the surface SCF and RSG with high accuracy. The surface SCF and RSG values increased with the surface roughness, and the local maximum values of the surface SCF and RSG were at the bottom of the local topography. Therefore, the SCF and RSG could be estimated based on a linear relationship involving average roughness.","PeriodicalId":18413,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Sciences","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135570215","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}

A novel method is presented for efficiently analyzing the reliability of engineering components and systems with highly nonlinear complex limit state functions. The proposed method begins by transforming the integral of the limit state function into an integral of a highly correlated limit state function using the control variates method. The second-order reliability method is then employed within the control variates framework to approximate the highly correlated limit state function as a quadratic polynomial. Subsequently, the probability of failure is obtained through the estimation of the saddle-point approximation and a small number of samples generated by Latin hypercube sampling. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, four examples involving mathematical functions and mechanical problems are solved. The results are compared with those obtained using the second-order reliability method (SORM), control variates based on Monte Carlo simulation (CVMCS) with second-order saddle-point approximation (SOSPA), importance sampling (IS) and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). The findings demonstrate that, while maintaining high-precision reliability results, the proposed method significantly reduces the number of evaluations of the limit state function through a small number of initial samples. The method is capable of efficiently and accurately solving complex practical engineering reliability problems.","PeriodicalId":18413,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135729691","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 reduce energy consumption while a human is walking with different loads, an active energy storage mechanism and a gait cycle prediction method are proposed, and then a wearable ankle assistance robot is developed. A motor, a clutch, and elastic rods are placed strategically in the active energy storage mechanism to achieve energy storage and release. During the period when the ankle does not generate torque, the clutch is closed, and the elastic rods are driven by the motor to produce deformation for energy storage. When the ankle generates torque, the motor is stopped and the clutch is opened, and then energy is released. Assisted force is transmitted to the human heel by a flexible transmission device to achieve walking assistance. The deformation length of the elastic rods can be changed to achieve assisted force adjustment for different loads. Based on the hip angular displacement and heel pressure, the gait cycle can be obtained with the proposed prediction method, and then assistance control can be achieved. Consequently, the development of a wearable ankle assistance robot is realized, a walking assistance experiment with different loads is completed, and the net metabolic cost is used to indicate the energy consumption. The experimental results show that the net metabolic cost of the participants is reduced by averages of 5.30 %, 5.67 %, and 4.84 % with 0, 4, and 8 kg loads respectively. The reduced net metabolic costs are compared with other research results; the reduced net metabolic costs are close to the others, but the motor power in this work is lower.","PeriodicalId":18413,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Sciences","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136057473","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}

In this paper, a cable-driven body weight support gait training robot (C-BWSGTR) that provides patients with partial body weight support as well as a kind of stable gait training driving force was designed; this device enabled those patients to walk again.

Secondly, the vector algebra method was applied to carry out the kinematic analysis and establish the mathematical model of the C-BWSGTR. The displacement of each cable during the patient gait training was also calculated. Thirdly, the motion planning of the C-BWSGTR was carried out in stages, using the time–phase distribution relationship based on an S-shaped speed curve. Meanwhile, the displacement, speed, and acceleration of each cable during the patient gait training were calculated and corresponding change curves were generated. Finally, a position servo composite control strategy for the C-BWSGTR was designed by analyzing the robot's dynamic characteristics of the forward channel transfer function.

In large-scale 3D additive manufacturing (AM), rigid printing mechanisms exhibit high inertia and inadequate load capacity.

To address the cable-driven mechanism's strict cable force range requirement, a prescribed-performance controller (PPC) with an adaptive auxiliary system is designed for the nonlinear cable system to enhance the stability and motion accuracy of the end-effector. The stability of the control system is proven using the Lyapunov function. A physical simulation environment using Simscape is developed to verify the vector analysis method and the PPC. Subsequently, an experimental prototype of a 3-DOF CDHR is developed. The results of the error compensation experiment and the prescribed-performance controller experiment demonstrate a 93.321 % reduction in maximum plane error and a 95.376 % reduction in maximum height error for the PPC considering error compensation compared to the non-compensation trajectory.

In human–robot collaborative sewing, the robot follows the sewing action of a worker to complete the corresponding sewing action, which can enhance production efficiency. When the robot follows the sewing action of the worker through interactive information, it still faces the problem of low accuracy. In order to improve the accuracy of the robot following the sewing action, a human upper-limb sewing-action-following system based on visual information is designed in this paper. The system is composed of an improved OpenPose model, Gaussian mixture model (GMM), and Gaussian mixture regression (GMR). In the system, an improved OpenPose model is used to identify the sewing action of the human upper limb, and the label fusion method is used to correct the joint point labels when the upper limb is covered by fabric. Then the GMM is used to encode each motion element and time to obtain the regression work of the Gaussian component. GMR is adopted to predict connections between moving elements and generate sewing motion trajectories. Finally, the experimental verification and simulation are carried out in the experimental platform and simulation environment of the collaborative robot. The experimental results show that the tracking error angle can be controlled within 0.04 rad in the first 2 s of robot movement. Therefore, it can be considered that the sewing-action-following system can realize higher precision and promote the development of human–robot collaboration technology to a certain extent.\u0000","PeriodicalId":18413,"journal":{"name":"Mechanical Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48983794","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}
