A method for selecting dynamic parameters and structures of drive systems using the synthesis algorithm is presented. The dynamic parameters of the system with six degrees of freedom, consisting of a power component (motor) and a two-speed gearbox, were determined, based on a formalized methodology. The required gearbox is to work in specific resonance zones, i.e., meet the required dynamic properties such as the required resonance frequencies. In the result of the tests, a series of parameters of the drive system, defining the required dynamic properties such as the resonance and anti-resonance frequencies were recorded. Mass moments of inertia of the wheels and elastic components, contained in the required structure of the driving system, were determined for the selected parameters obtained during the synthesis.

<p>Human activities such as walking, jogging, and running can cause excessive floor vibrations in buildings, footbridges, etc. It is known that humans act as dynamic systems modifying floor properties. A series of vibration tests with a number of human subjects were conducted on test floors through which the human dynamic properties were measured using simplified single and two- degrees-of-freedom models by minimizing the error between the predicted and measured resonance frequencies and resonance frequency response functions. The tests were conducted with the human subjects in standing, sitting, and bent-knees postures. The resulting models were used to predict the floor resonance frequencies and damping ratios. These values were found to be close to those from the measurements which validated the simplified human models used.</p>

A sliding panel shape morphing mechanism system is proposed. The said system is constructed by a number of segmented rigid panels that are allowed to slide relative to each other during shape morphing. In this paper, a method is presented for the design and analysis of the said system using a hexapod as a general-purpose driving system with six degrees-of-freedom. First, it is shown that a proper passive linkage system is required to connect a set of sliding panels to the base and moving platform of the hexapod. Each panel is made of a telescopic pair in the longitudinal direction and connected transversally with two adjacent panels through slots. Second, after modeling the entire system and formulating the constraints among the sliding panels, a search method is presented to determine the solutions that all the sliding panels can move without interference under a given hexapod motion. Further studies are also carried out to examine different shapes of the base and moving platform as well as different number of panels that can approximate a real application system, such as a morphing wing.

The accuracy of two-tool machining on automatic lathes is analyzed. Full-factor models of distortions and scattering fields of the performed dimensions, taking into account the flexibility of the technological system on six degrees of freedom, i. e. angular displacements in the technological system, were used in the research. Possibilities of design and control of two-tool adjustment are considered.

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and testing of a novel three-dimensional (3D) three-fingered electrothermal microgripper with multiple degrees of freedom (multi DOFs). Each finger of the microgripper is composed of a V-shaped electrothermal actuator providing one DOF, and a 3D U-shaped electrothermal actuator offering two DOFs in the plane perpendicular to the movement of the V-shaped actuator. As a result, each finger possesses 3D mobilities with three DOFs. Each beam of the actuators is heated externally with the polyimide film. The durability of the polyimide film is tested under different voltages. The static and dynamic properties of the finger are also tested. Experiments show that not only can the microgripper pick and place microobjects, such as micro balls and even highly deformable zebrafish embryos, but can also rotate them in 3D space.

Six Degree Of Freedom

This paper presents the design, development and evaluation of a unique non-contact instrumentation system that can accurately measure the interface displacement between two rigid components in six degrees of freedom. The system was developed to allow measurement of the relative displacements between interfaces within a stacked column of brick-like components, with an accuracy of 0.05 mm and 0.1 degrees. The columns comprised up to 14 components, with each component being a scale model of a graphite brick within an Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor core. A set of 585 of these columns makes up the Multi Layer Array, which was designed to investigate the response of the reactor core to seismic inputs, with excitation levels up to 1 g from 0 to 100 Hz. The nature of the application required a compact and robust design capable of accurately recording fully coupled motion in all six degrees of freedom during dynamic testing. The novel design implemented 12 Hall effect sensors with a calibration procedure based on system identification techniques. The measurement uncertainty was ±0.050 mm for displacement and ±0.052 degrees for rotation, and the system can tolerate loss of data from two sensors with the uncertainly increasing to only 0.061 mm in translation and 0.088 degrees in rotation. The system has been deployed in a research programme that has enabled EDF to present seismic safety cases to the Office for Nuclear Regulation, resulting in life extension approvals for several reactors. The measurement system developed could be readily applied to other situations where the imposed level of stress at the interface causes negligible material strain, and accurate non-contact six-degree-of-freedom interface measurement is required.
