To enable the robot to manipulate various control inputs of off-the-shelf vehicles with different sizes and structures in the market, HARTs mechanical design was focused on the achievement of kinematic re-scalability as its main technical design requirement. In this study, the mechanical design upgrade which can increase the robots power and dexterousness to control the steering wheel of the assigned vehicle is mainly described. For this, the third arm which is newly designed with passive joints and expendable links is built and added to HART. Next, HARTs new sensor head which is also redesigned for advancement of its perception capability is introduced in this paper. Lastly, the upgraded robot is tested and evaluated in human-centered environments which include both indoor and outdoor task spaces.","PeriodicalId":302047,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5: Dynamics, Vibration, and Control","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126200055","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}

Additionally, the largest challenge in the design and modeling of such systems is understanding the deformation of the two bodies when connected along with their interaction in complex cases such as large deflecting buckling beams, especially for people who are new in the area. There exist several methods and techniques for obtaining kinematic relations as pseudo rigid body modeling (PRBM), first and second kind of Elliptica theory, discrete beam element method for simple geometries of compliant mechanisms, and nonlinear dynamical modeling of soft robots assuming using constant curvature spatial curves, and also machine learning. To address this issue, we present the user-friendly and open-access MATLAB Toolbox for the design and motion analysis of compliant mechanisms and soft robots. The developed toolbox serves as a platform to visualize the deformation of compliant joints and compliant beams (Module 1), visualize the displacement of various compliant mechanisms (Module 2), design simple and complex compliant mechanisms using the hinges and beams, and design and motion analysis of soft robots (Module 3).","PeriodicalId":302047,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5: Dynamics, Vibration, and Control","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128897732","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}

Quantum dynamical systems can be described by linear time invariant systems and so there is a need to build out traditional control theory for quantum statistical mechanics. The probability information in a quantum dynamical system evolves according to the quantum master equation, whose state is a matrix instead of a column vector. Accordingly, the traditional notion of a full rank observability matrix does not apply. In this work, we develop a proof of observability for quantum dynamical systems including a rank test and algorithmic considerations. A qubit example is provided for situations where the dynamical system is both observable and unobservable.","PeriodicalId":302047,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5: Dynamics, Vibration, and Control","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122727593","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 optimal contact condition is selected based on the value of local Lyapunov exponent parameter. The impact and friction are considered in SolidWorks program based on the value of sliding contact velocity and kinetic coefficient of friction. The contact condition is steel dry, steel greasy, nylon, acrylic, aluminum dry, and aluminum greasy. The nonlinear dynamics and chaos is detected using phase-plane diagram and Poincare’ map. The trend of the nonlinear response of the follower displacement is discussed at different contact conditions. The more black dots in Poincare’ maps, the more detachment heights between the cam and the follower since the black dots are stationed around one area inside Poincare’ map.

A mathematical model of a PMDC motor dynamic system is derived incorporating a fuzzy logic controller. In addition, this drive control was validated experimentally. The experimental design is discussed in detail. The system performance was tested experimentally over a wide range of operating condition to validate the fuzzy logic control robustness and effectiveness.

Secondly, the modal components of the signal are extracted by empirical wavelet transform and the signal is reconstructed according to the correlation coefficient. Finally, the autocorrelation function of the reconstructed signal in different states and its Hurst parameters are studied. The research results show that when the system enters the surge state from the steady state, the spectrum of the dynamic pressure signal gradually concentrates to the low frequency band.

A flextension-style microelectromechanical system (MEMS) was designed to increase the range of actuation possible with the piezoelectrics preferred by nearly 10. The flextensional system converted the piezoelectric actuator into a two-degree-of-freedom (DOF) system, with the piezoactuator as a cyclic force. The actuator was intended to provide a wide range of feedback, the primary modality being the aliased positional cues with vibration as a secondary feedback mode. A single axis of the complete system was studied and designed for simplicity.\u0000 Simulations of a piezoelectric actuator vibrating with and without a human finger resting on the actuator were studied. The actuator resembles a two-DOF system without a finger. With a finger, the actuator becomes a three-DOF system. All systems were simulated using MATLAB’s ODE45 solver.\u0000 The quality of a single-degree-of-freedom reduction depended on whether the user’s finger was considered. Without a finger, no significant deviations in the system’s behavior were found; the equivalent spring, mass, and damper coefficients match those calculated by standard reduction methods without complication. The addition of a finger complicated the simulation. The frequency behavior of the single-degree-of-freedom system dropped an order of magnitude below the frequencies of the multi-degree-of-freedom system. This drop resulted in discrepancies between the simulated behavior of the multi-degree-of-freedom and its single-degree-of-freedom equivalent.","PeriodicalId":302047,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5: Dynamics, Vibration, and Control","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128316350","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}

One researcher showed that it is possible to realize negative refractive index if we have a material that can have simultaneous negative electric permeability and negative magnetic permittivity, at the same frequency. At that time, no such material was available.\u0000 After three decades, several physicists started to explore the possibility of using meta materials to achieve the objective. Meta materials are materials with specially designed internal structure. They extended the research further to design a coordinate transformation technique, with distributed permeability and permittivity to steer the optical wave in any desired path. It was difficult to achieve these objectives because the optical wave lengths are very small.\u0000 Then, the interest shifted to impacting elastic waves where the wave lengths are large. However, the goal of steering the wave required a new distribution of the elastic modulus and a new distribution of density, in the material after active meta material control. In this paper, a method of achieving such a distribution by using active meta materials and the associated control procedures is presented. Three basic structures are considered. They are the structures that resist flexural vibrations, longitudinal waves and torsional waves. All three cases result in identical active meta material control equations and control procedures with different natural frequencies that are functions of both the density and elastic constants.","PeriodicalId":302047,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5: Dynamics, Vibration, and Control","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115745173","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}
