Quantum optomechanics uses optical means to generate and manipulate quantum states of motion of mechanical resonators. This provides an intriguing platform for the study of fundamental physics and the development of novel quantum devices. Yet, the challenge of reconstructing and verifying the quantum state of mechanical systems has remained a major roadblock in the field. Here, we present a novel approach that allows for tomographic reconstruction of the quantum state of a mechanical system without the need for extremely high quality optical cavities. We show that, without relying on the usual state transfer presumption between light an mechanics, the full optomechanical Hamiltonian can be exploited to imprint mechanical tomograms on a strong optical coherent pulse, which can then be read out using well-established techniques. Furthermore, with only a small number of measurements, our method can be used to witness nonclassical features of mechanical systems without requiring full tomography. By relaxing the experimental requirements, our technique thus opens a feasible route towards verifying the quantum state of mechanical resonators and their nonclassical behaviour in a wide range of optomechanical systems.

The science of rehabilitation shows that repeated movements of human limbs can help the patient regain function in the injured limb. There are three types of mechanical systems used for movement rehabilitation: robots, cable-based manipulators, and exoskeletons. Industrial robots can be used because they provide a three-dimensional workspace with a wide range of flexibility to execute different trajectories, which are useful for motion rehabilitation. The cable-based manipulators consist of a movable platform and a base, which are connected by multiple cables that can extend or retract. The exoskeleton is fixed around the patient's limb to provide the physiotherapy movements. This chapter presents a summary of the principal human limb movements, a review of several mechanical systems used for rehabilitation, as well as common mathematical models of such systems.

The trend toward smaller mechanism footprints and volumes, while maintaining the ability to perform complex tasks, presents the opportunity for exploration of hypercompact mechanical systems integrated with curved surfaces. Developable surfaces are shapes that a flat sheet can take without tearing or stretching, and they represent a wide range of manufactured surfaces. This work introduces “developable mechanisms” as devices that emerge from or conform to developable surfaces. They are made possible by aligning hinge axes with developable surface ruling lines to enable mobility. Because rigid-link motion depends on the relative orientation of hinge axes and not link geometry, links can take the shape of the corresponding developable surface. Mechanisms are classified by their associated surface type, and these relationships are defined and demonstrated by example. Developable mechanisms show promise for meeting unfilled needs using systems not previously envisioned.

Abstract This paper presents the description of an ideal tool for analysis and design of complex multibody mechanical systems. It is in the form of a general-purpose computer program, which can be used for simulation of many different systems. The generality of this computer-integrated environment allows a wide range of applications with significant engineering importance. No matter how complicated the mechanical system under consideration is, a numerical multibody model of the system is constructed. The governing mixed differential/algebraic equations of motion are automatically formulated and numerically generated. State-of-the-art numerical techniques and computational methods are employed and developed which produce in the response of the system at discrete time junctures. Postprocessing of the results in the form of graphical images or real-time animations provides an enormous aid in visualizing motion of the system. The analysis package may be merged with an efficient design optimization algorithm. The developed integrated analysis/design system is a valuable tool for researchers, design engineers, and analysts of mechanical systems. This computer-integrated tool provides an important bridge between the classical decision making process by an engineer and the emerging technology of computers.

Superlubricity is defined as a new sliding regime in which friction or resistance to sliding almost vanishes. Because of its enormous implications for a wide range of transportation and manufacturing systems, it has attracted increasing interest in recent years from both the research and industrial communities (see a recent book on this subject in Ref. 1). From a practical point of view, development and uses of new materials, coatings, and/or lubricants that can enable superlubricity in moving mechanical systems will have huge positive impact on saving energy and reducing emissions. The annual cost of friction- and wear-related losses in some of the highly industrialized nations is currently estimated to be more than 5% of their gross national products. Hence, achieving superlubricity in moving mechanical systems will also have a huge positive impact on the economical well-being of all nations. In this presentation, an overview of recent progress in superlubricty research in general and novel superlow friction coatings and solid/liquid lubricated systems in particular is provided and the prospects for achieving superlubricity in real life applications are highlighted.

Purpose The purpose of this research paper is to develop and analyze micro-electro-mechanical systems sensor for vibration monitoring of pumping aggregate. Design/methodology/approach The system is based on smart sensor and smart mobile phone. Findings The numerous measurements on a wide range of turbo aggregates were performed to establish the operating condition of pumping aggregates. Originality/value Afterwards, the influence of vibration at different positions on the output vibration of the pumping aggregate was analyzed by adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system method.

Protecting interacting surfaces of mechanical systems against friction and wear have a wide range of industrial applications. Viscosity is the supreme property of any lubricant which overpowers viscous drag in hydro-dynamically lubricated mechanical systems. The dispersion stability of NiO-nanolubricants is achieved by ultrasonication technique. The detailed study of the viscosity of NiO nano-flakes dispersed in SN500 lubricants with weight fraction of 0.25-1.5% was performed in the temperature between 40-90 °C. The results show that increasing the weight fraction of NiO nano-flakes resulted in consistence viscosity increment. Further, the measured viscosity is compared with different concentration and temperature dependent theoretical models. On the basis on experimental viscosity data a theoretical correlation is recommended to predict the viscosity of NiO-nanolubricants with less than 5% margin of deviation.   Bull. Chem. Soc.
