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 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 keywordsAsymptotic Stability of Unicycle-Like Robots: The Bessel’s ControllerAndrés G. GarcíaAsymptotic stability of unicycle-like robots proved to be involved due to Brockett's condition. By using a smooth, time-invariant controller constructed out of Bessel’s functions, in this paper unicycle-like robots are uniformly-exponentially stabilized to the origin. The pure feedback controller obtained provides closed-form trajectories with the possibility of a simple and feasible (hardware) non-linear observer construction from posture angle measurements solely. … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Jan 2020 · 7,304 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGeometrical Synthesis of the Distribution MechanismsFlorian Ion T. PetrescuIn this study the author presents shortly some few original trigonometric methods to make the synthesis of some main distribution mechanisms. One presents four main modules of distribution mechanisms, with rotary cam and translated or rotated tappet plane or with roll, used with priority at the distribution mechanisms from the heat engines with internal combustion. These types of distribution mechanisms … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2015 · 8,858 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
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
