This paper proposes an efficient way of determining analytically the Wrench Closure Workspace (WCW) of spatial redundant cable-driven parallel mechanisms (CDPM). The method builds upon the boundary surface equations obtained from the null space of the structure matrix of CDPM. The set of feasible solutions is obtained that satisfies positive tension in the cables. This method was applied to characterize the WCW of spatial CDPM which has redundancy of 1 or 2. A simulation study was carried out to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the method. Several advantages over conventional approaches for determining the WCW were identified through simulation.

Sintered metal porous media are widely used in a broad range of industrial equipment. Generally, the flow properties in porous media are represented by an incompressible Darcy‒Forchheimer regime. This study uses a modified Forchheimer equation to represent the flow rate characteristics, which are then experimentally and theoretically investigated using a few samples of sintered metal porous media. The traditional steady-state method has a long testing time and considerable air consumption. With this in mind, a discharge method based on an isothermal chamber filled with copper wires is proposed to simultaneously determine the permeability and inertial coefficient. The flow rate discharged from the isothermal chamber is calculated by differentiating the measured pressure, and a paired dataset of pressure difference and flow rate is available. The theoretical representations of pressure difference versus flow rate show good agreement with the steady-state results. Finally, the volume limit of the isothermal chamber is addressed to ensure sufficient accuracy.

Rolling contact continuously variable transmissions (C.V.T.) transmit forces through a highly viscous spot between rolling-slipping contacts. The mechanics of the spot are characterized by complex elastohydrodynamic conditions and fluid properties only partially determinable at the extreme pressures of operation. A computer simulation of the spot mechanics based on extensions of research in less complex elastohydrodynamic situations was developed. Comparisons with parallel tests on a commercial C. V. T. verify that the simulation described in a good guide to design of this class of transmissions.
