Revised Force Control Using a Compliant Sensor with a Position Controlled Robot [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A different way of force control is presented, that is specially advantageous for position controlled robots. Instead of usual force control laws we rely on the well tuned position control loop and just use the force sensor to measure the target pose or ...

Fuzzy adaptive variable impedance control on deformable shield of defecation smart care robot

open access: yesBiomimetic Intelligence and Robotics
Precise control of the contact force is crucial in the application of non-wearable defecation smart care (DSC) robot. A deformable shield equipped with a pressure sensing function is designed, with a bending angle that can be adjusted according to ...

Contact Model of Revolute Joint with Clearance Based on Fractal Theory

open access: yesChinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2018
The contact stiffness of a mechanical bonding surface is an important parameter in determining the normal and radial contact force. To improve the calculation accuracy of the contact force model, the surface roughness of the bonding surface and the ...

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

A Finite Element-Based Elastic-Plastic Model for the Contact of Rough Surfaces

open access: yesModelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2011
Three-dimensional elastic-plastic contact of two nominally flat rough surfaces is considered. Equations governing the shoulder-shoulder contact of asperities are derived based on the asperity constitutive relations from a finite element model of the ...

Polarization of contact forces in multi-contact systems

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Computational Mechanics, 2010
The aim of this study is to identify the homogenized laws modeling the overall behaviour of multi-contact systems. At the moment, these systems are generally analyzed either by continuum mechanics or micro-mechanics and a multi-scale approach. These approaches differ from the phenomenological approach traditionally used for modeling the behavior of ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

The Wheel–Rail Contact Force for a Heavy-Load Train Can Be Measured Using a Collaborative Calibration Algorithm

open access: yesInformation
The wheel–rail contact force is a crucial indicator for ensuring the secure operation of a heavy-load train. However, obtaining the real-time wheel–rail contact force of a heavy-load train is a challenging task as, due to safety considerations, it is not
