Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudy of an Oscillating Sliding MechanismFlorian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Antonio ApicellaA mechanism with an oscillating slider is a mechanism quite often used in the technique. It has some advantages over other similar mechanisms being able to work with accelerations and reduced forces under the same conditions with another similar mechanism. For example, an internal combustion engine could be built more efficiently with this mechanism, resulting in a motor that would … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2018 · 8,005 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMethodology of Compliant Mechanisms and its Current Developments in Applications: A ReviewSolehuddin Shuib, M.I.Z. Ridzwan, A. Halim KadarmanTraditional rigid-body mechanisms consist of a number of components to implement their functions. Therefore they face problems such as backlash, wear, increase in part-count, weight, assembly cost and time, regular maintenance. Reducing these problems will help in increasing mechanism performance and cost reduction. Recently, there are several examples of compliant mechanisms that have been designed and widely used in various … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimal Parameter Tuning in a Predictive Nonlinear Control Method for a Mobile RobotD. Hazry, M. SugisakaThis study contributes to a new optimal parameter tuning in a predictive nonlinear control method for stable trajectory straight line tracking with a non-holonomic mobile robot. In this method, the focus lies in finding the optimal parameter estimation and to predict the path that the mobile robot will follow for stable trajectory straight line tracking system. The stability control contains … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2006 · 7,083 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLagrange II Dynamics and that of Forces Exemplified on a Basic Robot, 2 DoFRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuThe paper presents two dynamic methods applied to a basic articulated robot, 2 DoF, the first being an original adaptation of the type II Lagrange equations and the second being a dynamic method based on the influence of the forces in the robot mechanism. Both methods are original, as they were designed and applied by the author to a 2 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 26 Jul 2023 · 5,752 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Analytical Method for Determining Forces within a TriadFlorian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Antonio ApicellaThe paper presents an original analytical method used in determining the forces within a triad structural group. If the triad is in the mechanical equivalent of the transistor in electronics, representing a very useful structural group, while the transistor is no longer a puzzlement from a long time period, the triad was not too studied analytically, generally being approached by … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2018 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPresentation of the Mechanism in the CrossFlorian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Antonio ApicellaThe cross-machine has frequent uses in mechanical assemblies, automation, robotics and mechanisms with various uses. In the present paper we want to present this type of mechanism with its main, geometric, cinematic, strengths and propose its study in its possible use as an internal combustion engine. In this novelty, the mechanism will have two types of operation, one when operated … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2018 · 8,064 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMechatronic Systems to the Braking MechanismsRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuWith the evolution of technology, the construction and geometry of the piston, together with the materials from which it is made, as well as the related manufacturing technologies, have been continuously improved. Thus, modern engines have become less polluting, working at higher temperatures and pressures. Body aerodynamics have been improved, leading to lower resistance forces from the air. Also, the … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Aug 2020 · 6,954 accessesView PDFCite
