Applications of 3D printing in the fashion industry have continued to attract interest from academia and industry in order to improve and add functionalities to products. Among these applications, an interesting one is 3D printing on textile fabric....
Four-axis machine tools with two rotary axes are widely used in the machining of complex parts. However, due to an irregular kinematic relationship and non-linear kinematic function with geometric error, it is difficult to analyze the influence the g...
Resonant walking with preferred gait features is a self-optimized consequence of long-term human locomotion. Minimal energy expenditure can be achieved in this resonant condition. This unpowered multi-joint soft exoskeleton is designed to test whethe...
Lumbar support exoskeletons with active and passive actuators are currently the cutting-edge technology for preventing back injuries in workers while lifting heavy objects. However, many challenges still exist in both types of exoskeletons, including...
Heavy fuel combustion problems with startup and operation may significantly reduce the microturbine efficiency in small APUs (Auxiliary Power Units). The use of commercial automotive-derived turbochargers solves the design problems of compressors and...
Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is one of the most important exploration tools in the ocean underwater environment, whose movement is realized by the underwater thrusters, however, the thruster fault happens frequently in engineering practice. Oc...
In addition to high compliance to unstructured environments, soft robots can be further improved to gain the advantages of rigid robots by increasing stiffness. Indeed, realizing the adjustable stiffness of soft continuum robots can provide safer int...
While flexure time bases have gained significant traction in the watchmaking industry thanks to their high quality factor and monolithic design, maintaining a stable frequency in varying orientations of wrist watches with respect to gravity remains a...
A scraper conveyor is important in coal mining. During operation, its working performance is affected by chain speed fluctuations, terrain fluctuations, and load changes. Thus, evaluating the influence of these factors on the dynamic properties of a...
This paper presents a method for compiling the load spectrum of the transmission assembly of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Based on the analysis of the control strategy of the test vehicle, the power flow transmission route in the transmi...
