An Evaluation Of Using Component Mode Synthesis For Structural Models
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Structural analysts have used component mode synthesis (CMS), also known as substructuring, for decades to divide large structural models into smaller, more manageable models, and to reduce the size of the associated ...
Research For Dynamic Seal Friction Modeling In Linear Motion Hydraulic Piston Applications
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This paper presents a unique physics-based analytic model for dynamic seal friction in hydraulic actuators as a function of cylinder pressure, seal material, piston rod dimensions, piston rod seal gland dimensions, and ...
Design And Implementation Of A Feedback Linearizing Controller And Kalman Filter For A Magnetic Levitation System
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The principal investigation undertaken in this research is the development and subsequent implementation of a feedback linearizing nonlinear controller and extended Kalman filter for a laboratory-based Magnetic Levitation ...
Analysis And Design Of A Piezoelectric Micro-actuator
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Micro-grippers are usually fabricated of silicon using traditional semiconductor manufacturing processes and actuated based on thermal energy input causing their temperature to substantially increase and render unsuitable ...
Spreading, Solidification And Remelting Behavior Of Liquid Metal Droplets Sequentially Impinging Onto A Metal Substrate
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The fluid dynamics and simultaneous solidification of two successive molten metal droplets impacting a flat substrate is investigated numerically. The primary objective is to investigate the effects of initial droplet and ...
Structural Optimization Using ANSYS And Regulated Multiquadric Response Surface Model
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The high computational expense of large non-linear and complex finite element analysis limits or often prohibits the use of conventional codes in engineering design and multidisciplinary optimization. Consequently alternate ...
