- 1From:The International Journal of Robotics Research (Vol. 25, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedAbstract Within braided pneumatic Muscle Actuators (pMA) the braid structure is vital to the actuator's performance, preventing over-inflation, converting radial expansion into axial contraction and setting limits...
- 2From:Mechanical Engineering-CIME (Vol. 115, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedThe Rotork Q300 valve actuator, from Rotork Controls Inc, is a unique design in that the electronic components of the actuator are sealed in a plastic case, leaving only electrical terminal studs exposed. The case design...
- 3From:SAE International Journal of Aerospace (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedOf all aircraft power and thermal loads, flight controls can be the most challenging to quantify because they are highly variable. Unlike constant or impulsive loads, actuator power demands more closely resemble random...
- 4From:Mechanical Engineering-CIME (Vol. 115, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedEIM Controls Inc has devised a system of valve actuators, called Controlinc, that can operate up to 254 separate valves using only a single 22-gauge twisted-wire pair to handle signals between valves and the control...
- 5From:Solid State Technology (Vol. 38, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedMicroelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have mostly been touted for microscale applications because they have not been able to generate large forces and energies, but Prof. Chih-Ming Ho at the University of California-Los...
- 6From:Power Engineering (Vol. 102, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedThe limitations and drawbacks associated with electromechanical and electrohydraulic actuators explain to some extent the amazing longevity of the pneumatic actuator. These same limitations also led to the development of...
- 7From:Mechanical Engineering-CIME (Vol. 124, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedHELAC CORP., ENUMCLAW, WASH. The new L20 Series helical hydraulic rotary actuator was designed as an economical, ultracompact, lighter-weight, high-torque rotary actuator to be used as an alternative to hydraulic...
- 8From:Journal of Vibroengineering (Vol. 15, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThis paper presents an efficient approach to simulate Lamb wave propagations in thin plate structures by using new time domain spectral plate elements. A novel approach is proposed to incorporate the coupling of...
- 9From:Plastics Engineering (Vol. 68, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedU.S. Patent 8,137,799 (Mar. 20,2012), "Article Undergoing Stimulus-Responsive Deformation and Vehicle Part Using the Same," Hiroaki Miura (Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Yokohama-shi, Japan). Generally, mechanical drives...
- 10From:Mechanika (Vol. 17, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedThe paper presents theoretical investigation results of steady state motion regimes of rotational wave vibroactuator performed on the basis of simplified model of nonlinear vibrating system. The point contact type...
- 11From:Lasers & Optronics (Vol. 10, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedNew levels of performance are demanded by such positioning applications as binary optic fabrication, optical fiber alignment, silicon nano-device micromachining and advanced material studies. These applications require...
- 12From:Mechanical Engineering-CIME (Vol. 116, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedResearchers at Atlanta's Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a magnetically driven micromachine for various applications. The micromachine consists of microscopic electrical windings intertwined with a...
- 13From:Mechanical Engineering-CIME (Vol. 119, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedMany product and automation design applications can benefit from the use of a mechanical closed-loop mechanism instead of multiple actuators, sensors and electronic logic. Extensive use of actuators to achieve...
- 14From:Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week2016 JUN 4 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week -- Current study results on Drugs and Therapies have been published. According to news reporting from Gwangju, South Korea,...
- 15From:Journal of RoboticsPeer-ReviewedThe human knee absorbs more energy than it expends in level ground walking. For this reason it would be useful if the actuation system of a wearable robot for lower limbs was able to recover energy thus improving...
- 16From:Biomedical Engineering (Vol. 50, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAn approach to designing a mechanotherapeutic device for rehabilitation of lower extremities in humans using numerical simulation of dynamic processes taking place in the device is described. The device is based on a...
- 17From:Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics (Vol. 28, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedAlthough piezoelectric transducers are employed in a variety of fields, their application for vibration control of civil or industrial structures has not yet been fully developed, at the best of authors' knowledge....
- 18From:Acta Mechanica (Vol. 227, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedThe active vibration control of cable net structures by piezoelectric stacked actuators is the subject of the present work. The focus of this paper lies on the proposal of a nonlinear method to address the vibration...
- 19From:Mechanical Engineering-CIME (Vol. 130, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedHere's a different take on the piezoelectric actuator, the device that takes advantage of the deformation of certain ceramics when an electric field is applied to them. The piezoelectric actuator changes shape and can...
- 20From:Chemical Engineering (Vol. 122, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedThe new Type 3379 Pneumatic Actuator (photo) is tailored to the requirements of hygienic applications. All moving parts are contained in a housing with a smooth stainless-steel finish, making it easy to clean. The...
