Production efficiency is used to determine the best conditions for manufacturing goods at the lowest possible unit cost. When achieved, production efficiency leads to increased revenues for the manufacturer, enhanced employee safety, and a satisfied...

Motion control is one of the three core modules of autonomous driving, and nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) has recently attracted widespread attention in the field of motion control. Vehicle dynamics equations, as a widely used model, have...

Diaphragm couplings are prone to developing diaphragm cracks under prolonged high-speed operating conditions, which can lead to degradation in the performance of the transmission system and affect the dynamics of the shafting system. To investigate t...

This paper proposes a new algorithm for the automatic generation of toolpaths for machining complex geometric positions, such as molds used in orthosis production. The production of individualized orthoses often requires the use of multi-axis machini...

The technological revolution has transformed the area of labor with reference to automation and robotization in various domains. The employment of robots automates these disciplines, rendering beneficial impacts as robots are cost-effective, reliable...

For the safe and efficient use of lithium-ion batteries, the state of charge (SOC) is a particularly important state variable. In this paper, we propose a method for the online estimation of SOC and model parameters based on a fractional-order equiva...

The proper design and configuration of the swing drive mechanism of a hydraulic excavator are crucial to improve energy consumption and efficiency and ensure operational stability. This paper analyzes the influence of the relationship between the par...

To advance wave energy devices towards commercialization, it is essential to optimize their design to enhance system performance. Additionally, a thorough economic evaluation is crucial for making these technologies competitive with other renewable e...

In the present work, a parallel continuum manipulator for trunk rehabilitation tasks for patients who have suffered a stroke was analyzed and redesigned. The manipulator had to perform active assistance exercises for the motor recovery of the patient...

Errors affect the actual meshing process of gears, alter the actual wear pattern of the tooth profile, and may even impact the overall service life of machinery. While existing research predominantly focuses on individual errors or a narrow set of fa...
