Consistent results for torque requirements have been observed with the linear trajectory having the least values, followed by ellipse, and the circular trajectory. robot design dynamics trajectory torque Proceedings of the ASME 2021 International Mechanical Engineering Congress...

... Abstract This paper presents design, analysis, manufacturing, and prototyping of an electric pollen extractor. The design project is based on a request from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to build a machine for extracting pollen from tree catkins. The machine...

..., for example in very uneven or muddy terrain. This work proposes the study, design and construction of a spherical robot, intended for remote monitoring of oil palm plantations. Spherical robots provide an interesting alternative for monitoring of plantations thanks to their excellent maneuverability...

... Abstract Knowledge of the forces acting on the drive train of a machine is important for testing and Design for Reliability. In the case of angle grinders, these forces arise primarily at the contact between the workpiece and the grinding disc. Previous state-of-the-art approaches can determine...

... in high- or variable-g environments will not suffice; a means of empirical simulation is necessary. The following is a review of the existing efforts to meet this need. Further, the design and analysis of a dynamic simulation platform to empirically test the effects of high-acceleration launch regimes...

... (WPD) of 147.79 W/m 2 . A horizontal axis wind turbine of 30 kW capacity was designed and optimized using Harp_Opt software which works on a multi-objective genetic algorithm. The blade sections (airfoils) were designed using an in-house multi-objective genetic algorithm code by mathematically...

... in the ultrasound and acoustic industry for new materials pave the way to investigate further mechanical wave research into the different shape of engineered metamaterials that usually does not exist in nature for different purposes. This paper presents a design pipeline for Schwarz Primitive acoustic metamaterial...

... Abstract The capability of metal additive manufacturing (AM) to produce parts with complex geometries manifests its potential to revolutionize manufacturing. However, the presence of heterogeneous defects even under optimized part design and processing conditions imposes critical barriers...

... Abstract Although structural instabilities have traditionally been avoided in design as undesirable causes of failure, the rapid and potentially significant energy changes that result from the large displacements induced by buckling have gained recent interest as a favorable design feature...

... the fixture without creating nonlinearity in the system or changing the test’s basic mechanisms that allow for variable mixed-mode ratios. The new MMB fixture will improve the accuracy of the experiment and reduce the complexity of data post-processing, leading to a safer crack-resistant design...
