The diagnosis of misalignment plays a crucial role in the area of maintenance and repair since misalignment can lead to expensive downtime. To address this issue, several solutions have been developed, and both offline and online approaches are avail...

In this study, a concept and design of a self-powered sensor that utilizes a triboelectric effect to evaluate the condition of tensile bolted joints was proposed. Based on the fact that the triboelectric charge yields electrostatic voltage induced by...

The paper proposes a new three-dimensional flexible hinge formed of several serially linked straight- and circular-axis segments that are disposed of in two layers. The novel hinge configuration is capable of large displacements and can be implemente...

This paper proposes a stator core design to achieve variable-flux characteristics enhanced by magnetic saturation in fractional-slot concentrated winding (FSCW) permanent-magnet (PM) motors without additional excitation systems, complicated structure...

Machining hard-to-cut materials, such as cobalt (Co)-based superalloys, is a common problem in manufacturing industries. Background: wire electrical discharge machining (W-EDM) is one of the widely used cutting processes that causes layer (white laye...

Curvic couplings are used in applications demanding high positional accuracy and high torque transmission; therefore, improving their design and enhancing their load-carrying capacity is crucial. This study introduced the kinematic model Curvic3D, wh...

In metal-cutting technology, milling plays an important role in the product development cycle. The accurate modeling and prediction of milling forces have always been research hotspots in this field. The mechanical model based on unit-cutting force c...

Taking into account the issues faced by self-driving vehicles in multilane expressway scenarios, a lane-change decision planning framework that considers two adjacent lanes is proposed. Based on this framework, the lateral stability of an autonomous...

The chain drive system, being one of the core subsystems of the scraper conveyor, greatly influences the coal-conveying efficiency due to its dynamic characteristics. Therefore, this paper employed an experimental method to compare the dynamic charac...

The aging population has drastically increased in the past two decades, stimulating the development of devices for healthcare and medical purposes. As one of the leading potential risks, the injuries caused by accidental falls at home are hazardous t...
