Trajectory Control of Manipulator Robots With Uncertainties: A Saturated Continuous Integral Sliding Mode Approach

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the trajectory tracking control for manipulator robots with uncertainties. The main objective is to ensure that the robot follows a desired trajectory despite the presence of uncertainties/disturbances and considering control input constraints. The approach is developed in the framework of continuous integral sliding modes.

Multi‐scale geophysical mapping of the brine and bedrock surfaces along the Dolores River, Paradox Valley, Colorado, December 2023

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Total dissolved solids derived from salt dome–sourced brine in the underlying alluvial aquifer substantially increase with distance in the reach of the Dolores River that passes through Paradox Valley in southwestern Colorado. The area has been the site of salinity control operations since the 1990s to reduce salt loading to the downstream ...

Systematic Parameter Selection for Short Fiber Polymer Composite Direct Fiber Simulation

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Interactions of individually simulated fibers are systematically calibrated such that their orientation history agrees with the results from analytical orientation models. ABSTRACT The orientation of fibers in short discontinuous fiber reinforced polymer composites is a critical factor in determining final mechanical and thermal properties.

Improved Inverse Identification of Anisotropic Polymer Properties via FEMU and VFM With Sensitivity Analysis

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Heterogeneous biaxial testing for anisotropic elastic properties identification from full displacement field. ABSTRACT The stretch‐blowing process of PET bottles induces significant anisotropy in mechanical properties due to the differential elongation of macromolecular chains.

Anticlastic Curvature and Material Freedom

open access: yesphysica status solidi (b), EarlyView.
Anticlastic curvature occurs in bent bars for positive Poisson's ratio; synclastic curvature occurs for negative Poisson's ratio provided the material is homogeneous and elastic. Some planar negative Poisson's ratio materials exhibit anticlastic saddle curvature rather than convex curvature in bending due to effects of 3D structure.

Development of a Grasshopper‐Leg‐Inspired Back‐Type Exoskeleton for the Reduction of Muscle Activation During Stoop Activities

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.
