Recent advances in sensors, modeling and simulation and availability of open-source software and hardware for data integration has created an environment of remotely monitoring that was not possible a few years ago. This paper examines a niche cost-effective, portable Unmanned Surface Vessel that has been designed to capture the bathymetric profile of shallow water basins using single beam echosounder. Bathymetry is the measurement of the depth of water in oceans, rivers, or lakes. Bathymetric maps look a lot like topographic maps, which use lines to show the shape and elevation of land features. Today, echo sounders are used to make bathymetric measurements. Global shallow water bathymetry maps offer critical information to inform activities such as scientific research, environment protection, and marine transportation. Accurate mapping of shallow bathymetry is critical for understanding and characterizing coastal environments providing a foundation for measuring underwater light density, mapping and monitoring and planning marine operations and transportation. Methods for estimating shallow water bathymetry have suffered from a variety of trade-offs and limitations. Conventional methods such as shipborne sounding or airborne LiDAR have limited spatial coverage. The unit described in this paper has been designed and has been trained to acquire data in a predefined set path, minimizing the human intervention and the associated errors. A successful trial run was done for mapping the bed profile of the river basin in India. The vessel has been upskilled for capturing sonar data sets, with water quality parameters and soil samples using an automated auger. The vessel functions using the combined various open-source software and hardware tools for data assimilation, while the captured data sets are real-time transferred using IOT to Ground Controlled Station. The tropical river basin chosen is a part of Netravati River located in Dakshina Kannada District, Karnataka, India. This area is a part of the monsoon belt, and the Netravati riverbed is subjected to heavy sand deposition during a part of the year. The data on the excessive sand deposition is of immense value to the district and state administration. This study has been carried out at a frequency of 30 days and is provided as an input during non-monsoon period for district administration for outlining removal of excessive sand deposition monitoring of water quality in the estuarine ecosystem. The work done is a one-of-a-kind pilot study developed in-house using the recent advances seen in the world of open-source platforms.

The large deflecting hinges on the compliant grippers are also transformed to mimic the physical gripper. Since the soft manipulator and the compliant gripper were designed monolithically, the robot was 3D printed as a single piece using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The gripper is tested for its grasping and lifting performance while recording the applied forces by the gripper using a Flex sensor. Using the opencv tool for image processing and object analysis, we used a dual-camera setup with a known environment to add intelligence to the robot.

Revealing dynamic characteristics of a tensegrity structure, for example: vibration analysis, is an important objective in structural design and analysis. Traditional dynamic modeling methods are inaccurate in predicting dynamic responding of a tensegrity structure, due to their neglection of internal displacements of structure members. To solve this issue, a new nonlinear dynamic modeling method for tensegrity structures is proposed in this paper. This method defines position of a structure member as a summation of boundary-induced terms and internal terms in a global coordinate system. A nonlinear dynamic model of a tensegrity structure is derived from Lagrange equation, as a system of ordinary differential equations. This dynamic model can be linearized at an equilibrium configuration for vibration analysis. As shown in simulation results, the proposed method can predict natural frequencies of a tensegrity structure with a better accuracy than the traditional methods. Unlike the traditional methods that can only predict dynamic responses in a low frequency domain, the proposed method can also reveal dynamic responses of a tensegrity structure in a higher frequency domain by only using a small number of internal terms.","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":"117115397","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}

As such vision and depth perception sensors have become an increasingly integral part of autonomous vehicle research and development work.

The application of sensor fusion in a given system, by the utilization of multiple sensors perceiving similar or relatable information over a network, is implemented to provide a more robust and complete system information and minimize the overall perceived error of the system. The primary objective of this work is to implement a smart and robust sensor fusion system using 2D LIDAR and a stereo depth camera to capture depth and color information of an environment. The depth points generated by the LIDAR are fused with the depth map generated by the stereo camera by a Fuzzy system that implements smart fusion and corrects any gaps in the depth information of the stereo camera. The results show that the output of the proposed fuzzy fusion algorithm provides a higher depth confidence than each of the individual sensors can provide.","PeriodicalId":302047,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5: Dynamics, Vibration, and Control","volume":"66 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":"121803104","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}

However, this type of materials is commonly encountering damage companied with acoustic emission (AE) events. In order to ensure the safety of structures during service, it is urgent to develop structural health monitoring methods able to localize AE source in composite components as they occur. Kundu et al [1] for the first time proposed a technique using L-shaped clusters to localize AE source in anisotropic plates without knowing the pre-defined velocity. However, the direction dependent group velocity may lead to a large error if the group velocities in some anisotropic materials vary widely. In this paper, whether the characteristic of anisotropy has a great influence on the localization results and the principle of how this characteristic affects the AE source localization results are investigated. The results show that localization results of isotropic plate are obviously better than that of anisotropic plate due to the direction dependent velocities of anisotropic plate, which proves that the characteristic of anisotropy will affect AE source localization results. It is also found that the variation of localization orientation error is consistent with the local velocity gradient.","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":"130664310","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}

RC plane hobbyists design and build reduced-scale airplanes, unmanned aircrafts or replicas of existing full-scale ones, and fly them as often as possible to develop the necessary skills to go from basic flights to complex maneuvers and acrobatics and to race against other planes. Unfortunately, many practice flights do not go as planned and end with physical damage to the aircrafts. Companies dedicated to the production and marketing of RC planes require Computerized Numerical Controlled, CNC, machines to cut different parts for these model aircrafts due to their geometrical complexity, such as the case of the wings. Airplane wings must be light, strong and at the same time they have a tridimensional shape which is difficult to obtain by means of conventional manufacturing processes such as milling. Styrofoam is a convenient material for the fabrication of RC plane wings. The most common way to cut Styrofoam parts is by means of a taut hot wire. In order to achieve the complex shape of the wing, starting with a block of Styrofoam, the motion of the two ends of the taut hot wire must be carefully controlled and synchronized, to keep the tension in the wire and to obtain the desired shape in the part being manufactured. The best way to get this precise control for the two ends of the wire is by means of computerized numerical control. The aim of this research is to illustrate the steps for the mechatronic system design and construction of a machine for cutting RC plane Styrofoam parts to be used in the manufacturing of the aircrafts and the fabrication of spare parts for repairs after crash landings. The details for the development of each step of the mechatronic system design methodology are illustrated. The steps include design requirement specification, conceptual design, CAD modeling, structural analysis, sensors and actuators specification, assembly and testing. Once the functioning of the machine is validated, the quality of the manufactured parts must be tested so that they can be fitted to the corresponding aircrafts. The results demonstrated that the application of the methodology for the design of mechatronic systems facilitates the development of a robust device, such as a CNC machine, which synergistically combine the advantages of precision mechanics, electronics, control systems and computers to manufacture high quality parts for the RC planes industry.","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":"132500056","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}

It is then frequent that even negligible changes in the level of the exciting energy can significantly reduce the performance of previously tuned NES designs. Preliminary studies have shown that NES sensitivity to energy variations can be reduced by adding negative linear stiffness or bistable characteristics. In this work, the robustness of a tuned cubic NES is improved by adding an asymmetric bilinear element. This proposed modified NES is composed by a common cubic NES and a non-constant bilinear stiffness which includes a rope and two linear springs. In this numerical study, the vibration reduction performance of a cubic NESs and a Bilinear NES (BNES) is compared when the absorbers are attached to a three-story shear building structure.
