Development of SCARA-Type Haptic Device for Electrostatic Non-Contact Handling System
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2008 This paper describes the development of a SCARA-type haptic device, which will be used to assist a human operator in non-contact object handling of silicon wafers using electrostatic levitation. The device has three degrees of freedom, of which only one (

Electrostatic tuning of the bending stiffness of a large scale GFRP-CFRP beam [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2006 The suppression of vibrations of a structure is commonly considered a necessary measure for the extension of its lifetime, when high amplitude vibrations are observed. As an alternative to the introduction of discrete damping devices, the modification of the stiffness of a beam is proposed as a means to suppress vibrations due to resonance, thank

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.
