Acoustic standing wave levitation transmission technique has been widely used in many research areas. In this work, two Langevin-type piezoelectric transducers’ output are assembled face to face at a certain angle. Each transducer’s output acts as both its radiator and another transducer’s reflector. The authors termed it as contraposition transducer array. Standing acoustic wave in the cavity between the radiator and the reflector is formed when optimizing the angle between the central lines of the two transducers, the distance of the cavity, and the phase differential of the generator being used to excite the two transducers. Accordingly, the object during the acoustic field can be levitated, moved and manipulated. Not only the standing acoustic field pressure is theoretically derived, but also its potential location is Ansys-programmed simulated and illustrated. As a result, the restrictions are detailed which are necessary to form the standing acoustic wave. The corresponding experiments are carried out to demonstrate the proposed method by the authors. Finally, the influences of geometrical parameters and exciting phase differential on the formed acoustic field are numerically simulated.

In this paper, a new saturated synchronous controller is proposed for multiple nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots to perform a time-varying formation task. Each robot is controlled to track its desired trajectory, while synchronized its motion with the two neighboring robots. A novel dynamic model of the wheeled mobile robot is derived based on Lagrange method. The Lagrange multipliers of the robot are determined based on the input torques and the robot's velocities. The dynamic model is divided into translational and rotational model. A saturated synchronous translational controller is proposed to guarantee the asymptotic stability of both position and synchronization errors. A rotational controller is developed such that each robot always oriented towards its desired position. A simulation results verified the efficiency of the proposed saturated synchronous controller in the formation tasks.
The paper deals with the robust controller design using conventional approaches (Small Gain Theory, Equivalent Subsystems Method), and advanced robust genetic method for uncertain MIMO systems. Decentralised robust co...

The Space Station mission require an exhaustive engineering study before a manned mission can be put into space. Since the dynamic behavior of an entire assembly cannot be tested on earth, computer models are used as an engineering tool to be able to predict what might happen in space. The main goal of this research is to find a new mathematical model to calculate the first natural frequency of a slender beam in gravity compensation test and in zero-gravity environment. It means that the model should work correctly on the ground and in space. It can help engineers understand the behavior of a beams in space. Theoretical model describes the first natural frequency of a slender beam. The major issues in the beam development are: determine the governing differential equation, obtaining the eigenfunctions from governing equation. These issues apply to both Euler-Bernoulli and energy transfer theories. To get compare analyze for this two environments we are to model the element of Space Station Remote Manipulator System(SSRMS) in gravity compensation test and in zero-gravity environment, using Distributed- Parameter Models use Maple Software. We also use ANSYS Workbench software with normal mode analysis to simulate the beam behavior due to dynamic vibration. In the end, the modern mathematics solution is close to classic model and simulation data. As a result, the modern model can be applied to determine vibrations in gravity compensation test.

To gain high mobility on challenging terrains, a mobile robot based on eccentric paddle mechanism (ePaddle) with locomotion versatility has been proposed. In this paper, a paddle-aided stair-climbing motion is presented for this ePaddle-based robot. The robot can roll on the stair as a traditional wheeled vehicle and also can climb up the stair under the help of its paddles. Robot-stair interaction modes are presented and typical feasible postures of the robot in stair-climbing are discussed. Frictional requirements for the robot to hold a desired posture are evaluated by modelling statics of the robot. Analyzed results reveal that two critical scenarios in wheeled mode occur when the front-wheel is at the bottom of the riser, and when the rear-wheel is at the top of the riser, respectively. In contrast, frictional requirements of the paddle-aided stair-climbing postures confirm that the robot can climb up the stair with all feasible postures by touching the stair with the paddle, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed paddle-aided stair-climbing.

Mohr-Coulomb theory is mostly used in civil engineering as it is suitable for soils, rock, concretes, etc., meaning that the theory is generally used for brittle facture of the materials, but there are cases when it matches ductile behaviour also. The failure envelope described by the Mohr-Coulomb criterion is not completely accurate to the real yield envelope. The ductile or brittle behaviour of materials could not be incorporated in a linear envelope suggested by classic stress state theories and so, there have been a number of authors who have refined the notion of yield envelope so that it would fit better to the actual behaviour of materials. The need of a realistic yield envelope comes from the demand that the failure state should be able to be predicted in a fair manner and with as little errors as possible. Of course, certain criteria will be closer to the actual situation, but there is a constant need to unify and refine the limit stress theories in order to avoid problems as defining boundaries of application areas on numerical programs. Mohr-Coulomb's yield envelope is the most used one on programs, can be reduced to Tresca theory when the materials are conducting a ductile behaviour and has a linear simplified form. The paper presents some considerations with respect to the elliptical failure envelope correlated to the Mohr-Coulomb theory. The equations have been rewritten for triaxial situation to describe a more accurate state of stress that is encountered under real conditions in materials. Using the Mohr's circles to define the yield envelope, the calculus has been made in in order to determine the yield stress at tensile tests

Today, mobile objects are finding increasing usage in a wide variety of applications. Robots have been put to use in the air, on the ground and under the sea. Along with this expansion in robot technology, the problem of control and autonomous decision making is an ongoing concern, especially in light of the increasing difficulty of tasks. This study is focused on the algorithms of adaptive control system for mobile objects. The authors examined the application of direct adaptive control with reference to model approaches, in particular the position-path method. Point positioning is discussed, and the authors propose a method for efficiency improvement. Parametric uncertainty and influence of immeasurable disturbances are expected. Basic algorithms for the calculation of controlling forces and moments are synthesized using the position-path control method. The authors propose a structure and algorithms of an adaptive position-path system with a reference model. The synthesis of adaptive regulator and stability analysis of closed-loop system is performed, and an example of regulator synthesis is given. Finally, the authors present simulation results for an autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle equipped with a main engine, nose and hydrodynamic rudders on the tail. Along with this, horizontal and vertical maneuvering devices are presented.

This work presents an innovative approach for the design and development of Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG) which can clean / inspect pipes from 6" up to 14" with a simple change of shirts using the latest technologies such as Ultra Sonic Sensors for the pipelines of palm oil, water, and oil/ gas industries through the creation of a simulation tool capable of generating simulated images from pipeline using Arduino Software for highest accuracy and precision inspection to protect the environment and equipment from any unexpected accident. There are several DC motors powered by an installed battery to move the PIG inside the Pipeline. Radio transmitter is used to elongate the distance of investigation by the mean of reduction of the number of individual pigging processes to save time and cost for companies. The DC controller used to control each individual DC motor to rotate synchronizely producing linear movement of The PIG inside the Pipeline. Fluid hammer effect is another factor which has been considered during designing this pig. To avoid such case to occur the design has been revised and several arms have been devised around the robot to maintain the speed and position of pig all the way through the pipeline.
