Development of Thrust, Torque, and Power Estimation Model, and Prediction Performance of Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machine in Mixed-Face Strata

Applied Sciences
In this paper, a theoretical estimation model of TBM thrust, torque, and power in the rock–soil interface (RSI) of mixed ground is developed, including a new force model for the drag cutter that accounts for chamber pressure and soil friction.

Experimental investigation of drag loss and plate separation behavior of wet clutches under external forces

Results in Engineering
Understanding the drag loss behavior of wet clutches is crucial for the development of low-loss clutch systems. For non-horizontal installation positions and non-stationary applications, external forces caused by the inclination or vehicle dynamics act ...

Intelligent Operator‐Independent Flexibility in Robotic Non‐Destructive Evaluation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Non‐destructive evaluation of high‐value components remains a manufacturing bottleneck due to rigid robotic calibration and fixturing. This study presents a flexible, adaptable system integrating 3D vision and force‐position control with a collaborative KUKA LBR robot. The geometry‐agnostic system enables pose‐independent ultrasonic inspection, detects

Optimization Design of Low Drag Torque Parameters of High-speed Wet Clutches

Jixie chuandong
In order to reduce the drag torque under high speed conditions, the equivalent radius is introduced into the traditional low speed torque model of a wet clutch with track vehicle, and the calculation model of the drag torque with radial groove is derived.

Development of High Efficiency Dog Clutch with One-Way Mechanism for Stepped Automatic Transmissions

International Journal of Automotive Engineering, 2019
In order to reduce drag losses and a clutch actuator load, the new dog clutch system for stepped automatic transmission is developed. Transmitting torque is converted to the engaging force because rotating shaft and dog clutch are connected with the ...

Maneuverable Multilegged Locomotion through Anisotropically Arranged Soft Backbones in a Single‐Actuator Modular Miniature Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A modular eight‐legged robot exploits anisotropically oriented soft I‐beam backbones to transmit vibration from a single unbalanced‐mass actuator, producing frequency‐dependent multimodal gaits. A pseudo‐rigid‐body model enables high‐fidelity MuJoCo simulation, while Bayesian parameter identification and reinforcement learning yield robust control ...
