In the current study, an optimization process of powder-mixed electrical discharge machining (PMEDM) process when machining cylindrically shaped parts made of hardened 90CrSi steel is reported. In this study, SiC powder was mixed into the Diel MS 700...

A solid demand to integrate energy consumption and co-generation emerged worldwide, motivated, on one hand, by the need to diversify and enhance energy supply, and, one the other hand, by the pressure to attend to the requirements of a heterogeneous...

Air-ground coordination systems are usually composed of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGV). In such a system, UAVs can utilize their much more perceptive information to plan the path for UGVs. However, the correctness a...

The lack of gas turbine field data, especially faulty engine data, and the complexity of fault embedding into gas turbines on test benches cause difficulties in representing healthy and faulty engines in diagnostic algorithms. Instead, different gas...

The slurry pump is widely used in ore mining, metal smelting, petrochemical, and other industries, mainly to transport fluid media containing large solid particles. Importantly, it is easy to damage the impeller of a slurry pump in the operation proc...

This paper proposes a model-based two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) speed control for a medium voltage (MV) variable speed drive (VSD) connected to a centrifugal compressor (CC) train. Torsional mode excitations in the drive shaft due to converter switchi...

The aim of manufacturing can be described as achieving the predefined high quality product in a short delivery time and at a competitive cost. However, it is unfortunately quite challenging and often difficult to ensure that certain quality character...

To date, several alterations in the gait pattern can be treated through rehabilitative approaches and robot assisted therapy (RAT). Gait data and gait trajectories are essential in specific exoskeleton control strategies. Nevertheless, the scarcity o...

In order to achieve the high-precision motion trajectory in ground experiment of space instable target (SIT) while reducing the energy consumption of the motion simulator, a robot motion planning method based on energy saving is proposed. Observable-...

Expert systems are a form of highly understandable artificial intelligence that allow humans to trace the decision-making processes that are used. While they are typically software implemented and use an iterative algorithm for rule-fact network proc...
