This article has as the main subject the exoskeleton devices used in rehabilitation applications of the wrist joint for patients who are in the recovery period after suffering a stroke. Exoskeleton devices have some advantages compared to classic the...

This research presents an unmanned ground vehicle for identifying infested trees by bark beetles in mountain forests. The ground vehicle uses sensors for autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance. The identification of infested trees is carried ou...

The involute profile is used almost exclusively in the manufacturing of spur gears. Nevertheless, in machinery design, the evaluation of environmental factors, such as energy efficiency, has become increasingly important when choosing between feasibl...

Industrial robots are widely used in the field of processing because of their many advantages, such as their high flexibility and wide processing range, but the chatter phenomenon limits their application. In this study, a chatter model for the robot...

On 14 June 2023, the European Parliament adopted Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 on machinery, which entered into force on 19 July 2023 (with some exceptions as per art. 54, according to a corrigendum issued to address a clerical error as regards the appli...

A powered roof support in a mining complex comprises a set of sections positioned side by side. Thus, it creates space for the mining longwall shearer and the excavated material haulage conveyor. The main role of the powered roof support is to secure...

This paper presents an autonomous collision avoidance method that integrates path planning and control for articulated steering vehicles (ASVs) operating in underground tunnel environments. The confined nature of tunnel spaces, combined with the comp...

This paper presents a mechanical crank-connecting rod mem-inerter device, with its output and memory characteristics being investigated and validated. Previous research suggests that a hydraulic mem-inerter generates a sizeable damping force, practic...

Digital valves have strong anti-pollution ability and good linearity, so they are more suitable for aero-engine fuel control. However, for high-precision flow control, incremental digital valves require a high-precision, high-dynamic servomotor drive...

Duralumin 2024-T351 is an alloy characterized by a good mechanical strength, relatively high hardness and corrosion resistance frequently used in the aeronautical, automotive, defense etc. industries. In this paper, the variation of axial forces and...
