A Hybrid Model for Lift Response to Dynamic Actuation on a Stalled Airfoil
Energies, 2020 The current research focuses on modeling the lift response due to dynamic (time-varying) “burst-type” actuation on a stalled airfoil. Here, the “burst-type” actuation refers to the synthetic jet (generated from the actuator) that is used for flow ...

Kinematic Analysis of a Parallel Manipulator Driven by Perpendicular Linear Actuators
Actuators, 2021 In this paper, a goniometer-type specimen stage with a linear actuation mechanism mounted on a rotation mechanism is introduced. The linear actuation mechanism was modeled as a spatial parallel manipulator consisting of a moving body, three linear ...

Enhancing Linearity in Parallel-Plate MEMS Varactors through Repulsive Actuation
Micro, 2023 This paper presents a new MEMS varactor that uses repulsive actuation to achieve an ultra-linear capacitance-to-voltage response. The approach proposed involves actuating the moveable electrode away from the fixed electrode, instead of the conventional ...

Linear pneumatic actuator [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 The paper presents a linear pneumatic actuator with short working stroke. It consists of a pneumatic motor (a simple stroke cylinder or a membrane chamber), two 2/2 pneumatic distributors “all or nothing” electrically commanded for controlling the intake/outtake flow to/from the active chamber of the motor, a position transducer and a microcontroller ...
