Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTransformable Curved Thin Glass GreenhouseLaura GaluppiThe use of new generation thin, lightweight and damage-resistant glass, originally conceived for electronic displays, is being very recently proposed for structural applications, in particular for adaptive and movable skins and façades. This paper explores this concept and presents a study on the structural use of thin glass in greenhouses for protected agriculture, based on the use of cold-twisted elements … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 1 Dec 2018 · 6,810 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural-Topological Synthesis of Planar Mechanisms with Rods and WheelsNicolae Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Relly Victoria V. PetrescuToday, robots are increasingly present in the machine building industry, sometimes even in some sections to replace workers altogether, due to the high quality of their work, repetitive, without stopping or pausing, without any manufacturing and assembly scuffs. Additionally, robots do not get sick, do not require medical leave or rest, work faster and better than humans and also support … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2018 · 6,644 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForces of a 3R RobotRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.In this study, one presents a method for determination of kinetostatic parameters in dyad 3R. It starts with the determination of the forces in the joints: RB, RD, R23. To generalize the method including for the 2R robots, enter both the moments M1, M2. This module (2R) is the main module found in all rotating anthropomorphic robotic structures and similar … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 8 Nov 2017 · 7,742 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-g Area-changed MEMS Accelerometer Using Bulk Silicon TechniqueBadariah Bais, Burhanuddin Yeop MajlisA bulk micromachined accelerometer based on an area variation capacitive sensing for low-g applications was developed. The accelerometer was designed with ribbed-style fingers structure on the movable mass connected in parallel and suspended over stationary electrodes composed of differential comb fingers by means of suspension beams anchored onto the substrate. A folded, rigid truss suspension design with low spring constant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,635 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnalysis and Synthesis of Mechanisms with Bars and Gears Used in Robots and ManipulatorsRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.Bars and gears are used everywhere today, but a wide range of uses is robotics and mechatronics. Since ancient times, automations and mechanization have been used with mechanisms consisting of chains of bars and gears. These were obviously used for the purpose of transmitting the movement and its transformation, that is to say, as a mechanical transmission. Gear and bar … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 20 Dec 2017 · 7,054 accessesView PDFCite
