Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderactuated Anthropomorphic Finger Mechanism for Grasping and Pinching with Optimized ParameterNorsinnira Zainul Azlan, Yamaura HiroshiProblem statement: Underactuated finger mechanism is beneficial in the anthropomorphic applications in which it reduces the finger size, weight and power consumption due to the less number of actuators compared to its number of Degree Of Freedom (DOF). However, the currently existing underactuated finger is limited to grasping operations only and unable to pinch with the finger tip. Moreover, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,544 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Investigation of Elastoplastic Deformation of a Sandwich Beam on the Elastic FoundationMoh’d Ishaq Abu HalawaElastoplastic bending of a sandwich beam with a rigid compressible filler on an elastic base has been studied. To describe kinematics of asymmetrical across thickness pack in the bearing layers the Bernoulli hypotheses have been accepted. Displacements in the filler vary linearly over thickness. The distributed superficial loading simulates the hydrostatic effect of the ambient liquid. The reaction of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,567 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGait Optimization of Biped Robot during Double Support Phase by Pure Dynamic SynthesisNima Jamshidi, Mostafa RostamiThis paper deals with dynamic optimization of biped locomotion. The main focus of this research is motion optimization of double support phase. The optimization problem is dealt by using Pontryagins Maximum Principal. For motion optimization of double support phase, the closed kinematic chain has been considered to be opened at appropriate joint and the components of ground reaction forces has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,127 accessesView PDF Cite
