GEOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS IN DESIGNING NEW MATERIALS
In this paper, an original idea of designing new materials is investigated. The property of Helmholtz equation to be invariant under geometric transformations is exploited to obtain new materials with inhomogeneous and a...
A VIRTUAL INTERNAL BOND MODEL FOR HYSTERETIC MEDIA
In this paper, the properties of the hysteretic media are investigated via the virtual internal bond model (VIB) derived from the hyperelasticity with the integration of the 6–12 Lennard-Jones atomic interacting potentia...
SIMULTANEOUS POSITION AND STIFFNESS DISTRIBUTION CONTROL OF ELASTIC REDUNDANT CLOSED-LOOP MECHANISM
The present paper discusses a new design of robotic manipulator having redundant closed-loop mechanism with elastic passive joints. The proposed design is aiming to be utilized for developing robots that are capable to w...
VALIDATION OF NEW RIGID BODY DYNAMICS FORMULATION USING ROTATION MATRICES ELEMENTS AS DEPENDENT PARAMETERS − DOUBLE PENDULUM CASE STUDY
The method of using the rotation matrix elements as dependent parameters for the 3D rotation of a rigid body is currently very rarely used in multibody dynamics. Nevertheless, this redundant parameterization of 3D rotati...
THE MECHANISM OF THE PROSTHESIS FOR UPPER HUMAN LIMB – MAIN ASPECTS REGARDING: SINTHESIS, ANALYSIS, DESIGN AND FUNCTIONAL SIMULATION
This paper describes the main stages of structural and cinematic synthesis and analysis, design and functional simulation regarding the mechanism of the human hand prosthesis. For the structural scheme, one uses three pi...
