Cascaded Control of Flexible-Joint Robots Based on Sliding-Mode Estimator Approach
The inherent highly nonlinear coupling and system uncertainties make the controller design for a flexible-joint robot extremely difficult. The goal of the control of any robotic system is to achieve high bandwidth, high accuracy of trajectory tracking ...

Sliding Guide System Concept for 3D Motion of the Hip Joint in Walking Assist Robots [PDF]
The human hip joint has three degrees of freedom: flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, and external rotation and internal rotation. However, most current walking assist robots only support flexion–extension of the hip joint and may restrict ...

Predicting wear of UHMWPE: decreasing wear rate following a change in direction [PDF]
Computational tools are emerging as design tools for the development of total joint replacement with improved wear performance. The current wear models of polyethylene assume that wear is linearly proportional to sliding distance; however, it is ...

Discrete-time output feedback sliding-mode control design for uncertain systems using linear matrix inequalities [PDF]
An output feedback-based sliding-mode control design methodology for discrete-time systems is considered in this article. In previous work, it has been shown that by identifying a minimal set of current and past outputs, an augmented system can be ...

Trapped modes in CESR sliding joints [PDF]
Trapped modes in the sliding joints in CESR were investigated as a possible source of instabilities. To detect these modes, experiments were performed where pairs of bunches of positrons were run through at various spacings. It was hoped that constructive and destructive interference of wake fields would produce varying amounts of heating.

Hybrid fuzzy and sliding-mode control for motorised tether spin-up when coupled with axial vibration [PDF]
A hybrid fuzzy sliding mode controller is applied to the control of motorised tether spin-up coupled with an axial oscillation phenomenon. A six degree of freedom dynamic model of a motorised momentum exchange tether is used as a basis for interplanetary

Analysis of a dry friction problem under small displacements: application to a bolted joint [PDF]
This study presents an analysis of the problem of macroscopic contact of steel upon steel with dry friction, in the specific case of a bolted joint. The configurations of these types of joints result in very small displacements and interface sliding ...
