Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSomething about a Railbound Forging ManipulatorRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuHeavy payload forging manipulators are mainly characterized by large load output and large capacitive load input. The relationships between outputs and inputs have greatly influenced the control and reliability. Forging manipulators have become more prevalent in the industry today. They are used to manipulate objects to be forged. The most common forging manipulators are moving on a railway to have … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 8 May 2019 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDynamic Models for Rigid Memory MechanismsRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuThe paper presents a dynamic model that works with variable internal damping, applicable directly to rigid memory mechanisms. If the problem of elasticity is generally solved, the problem of system damping is not clear and well-established. It is usually considered a constant "c" value for the internal damping of the system and sometimes the same value c and for the … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 6 May 2019 · 5,981 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTime FactoryRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuHave you asked yourself how you will look over 15 years? At the Bosch factory in Jucu, we saw a time machine that can help you to travel for 15 years in the future. And the technologies used seem to have come from the reality of the next decades. This "time machine" is, in fact, part of Bosch's Engineering, Quality … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2019 · 6,607 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDynamics at Classical DistributionRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuClassical distribution is the most used in rigid memory mechanisms adapted to four-stroke internal combustion engines such as Otto or diesel, as it was designed by Otto more than 150 years ago, without essential changes from its conception and up today. Since it was not yet possible to introduce the electric car to the industrial scale and today we have … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2019 · 6,394 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 a Mechanism with a Maltese Cross (Geneva Driver)Florian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Antonio ApicellaThe paper presents briefly a mechanism with a cross of Malta. The mechanisms with a Maltese cross (Geneva driver) are present in automation, robotics, mechanical transmissions, continuous variable transmissions, old clocks, especially when it comes to transmitting forces and high moments, being used instead of or with the gears. The geometry of the mechanism consisting of two elements, the kinematics … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2018 · 8,549 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
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
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBuses Running on GasRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.Today, the transport problem is not only very diverse and complex but also highly disputed in terms of the optimal way of achieving modern and ecological transports. The energy and social crisis that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s, which then haunted the planet repeatedly, becoming a major crisis, could be successfully avoided by postponing and reprogramming until mankind managed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2018 · 7,532 accessesView PDFCite
