A novel monolithic structural design of an electrostatic actuator with a multiple degree of freedom is presented as an approach for a system that is capable of performing scalable stroke and large electrostatic force beyond mN range. An electromechanical system model based on Simulink software was developed for a proposed design of the electrostatic actuator. The dynamic response of the actuator was simulated and the mechanical bouncing response due to effect of realizing extra mechanical stoppers or passivation layer was investigated. Additionally, the mechanical bouncing as well as steady state response of the actuator was investigated under various mechanical loading values. The results showed that the switching time increased as the mechanical load was increased. In addition, bouncing maximum peak increased as the collision force was increased.

A numerical simulation method is developed to analyze dynamic response of electrostatic actuator, which is electromechanical coupled system. The developed method is applied to find a dynamic response of a cantilever-type switch model, which is a basic component of electro-mechanical coupled system driven by electrostatic force. First, point charges model on conductor is proposed as a lumped parameter model of electrical part. Then, this model is easily incorporated into a multi-body dynamics analysis algorithm, the generalized recursive dynamics formula previously developed by our research group. The resulting motion of equation of a coupled overall system is formulated as a differential algebraic equation form including electrical and mechanical variables together and is simultaneously solved in every time step. To implement this approach into the useful dynamics analysis tool, we used multibody dynamics software (RecurDyn) based on the generalized recursive formula using relative coordinate. The developed numerical simulation tool is evaluated by applying to many different driving condition and switch configuration. The final analysis model will be added to RecurDyn as a basic module for dynamics analysis of electro-mechanical coupled system.

Research institutions and industrial enterprises demand high accuracy and precision positioning systems to fulfil cutting edge requirements of up-to-date technological processes in the field of metrology and optical fabrication. Linear motor system design with high performance mechanical guiding system and optical encoder ensures nanometer scale precision and constant static error, which can be calibrated by optical instruments. Mechanical guiding systems has its benefits in case of control theory and its stability; unfortunately, on the other hand, there exists high influence of structure geometry and tribological effects such as friction and modal response. The aforementioned effect cannot be straightforwardly identified during the assembly process. Degradation of dynamic units can be detected only after certain operating time. Single degree of freedom systems are well investigated and the effect of degradation can be predicted, but there exists a gap in the analysis of nanometer scale multi degree of freedom dynamic systems; therefore, novel diagnostic tools need to be proposed. In this particular paper, dual axes dynamic system analysis will be presented. The main idea is to decouple standard stacked XY stage and analyse X and Y configuration as two different configurations of the same object, while imitators of corresponding axes are absolutely solid and stationary. As storage and analysis of time domain data is not efficient, main attention will be concentrated on frequency domain data, while, of course, statistical and graphical representation of dynamic response will be presented. Transfer function, dynamic response, spectral analysis of dynamic response, and modal analysis will be presented and discussed. Based on the collected data and its analysis, comparison of X and Y responses to different velocity excitation will be presented. Finally, conclusions and recommendations of novel diagnostic way will be presented.

The steady-state response of a system constrained by a limited slip joint and excited by a trigonometrically varying external load is discussed. It is shown that the system may possess such features as disconnected response curves and jumps in response depending on the strength of the system nonlinearity, the level of excitation, the amount of viscous damping, and the initial conditions of the system.

The umbrella linkage is one of the most classical deployable mechanisms. This paper concentrates on topological structural design of a family of umbrella-shaped deployable mechanisms based on new two-layer and two-loop spatial linkage units. First, deployable units are developed systematically from two-layer and two-loop linkage with four revolute pair (4R) coupling chains. Then, mobile connection modes of the deployable units are established based on the conditions of one degree-of-freedom (DOF) and structural symmetry. Finally, umbrella-shaped deployable mechanisms are constructed based on the developed deployable units and the established mobile connection modes. Like umbrellas, the designed deployable mechanisms can be actuated in a simple and reliable way, and those mechanisms have good potential applications in the fields of architecture, manufacturing, space exploration, and recreation.

We consider the dynamic response of a single-degree-of-freedom system having two-sided amplitude constraints. The model consists of a piecewise-linear oscillator subjected to nonharmonic excitation. A simple impact rule employing a coefficient of restitution is used to characterize the almost instantaneous behavior of impact at the constraints. In this paper periodic and chaotic motions are found. The amplitude and stability of the periodic responses are determined and bifurcation analysis for these motions is carried out. Chaotic motions are found to exist over ranges of forcing periods.

Abstract An exact method is developed to eliminate the accelerometer error in dynamic response calculations for damped multi-degree of freedom systems. It is shown that the exact responses of a system can be obtained from the approximate responses which are conventionally calculated from an accelerogram. Response calculations were performed for two typical systems with three degrees of freedom for an assumed pseudo-earthquake. The results showed that the approximate responses may contain large errors, and that the correction developed effectively eliminates these errors.

Using the method of the parameter study, some important dimensions of the cylinder head of an internal-combustion engine are analyzed. Under the mechanical load, the variational rules of the Von Mises maximum stress on cylinder head are obtained, which are influenced by the thickness of the floor plate, head plate, jobbing sheet, standing partition board, and side plate of inlet port and exhaust port. A hypothesis is verified that there is an ideal matching point among those above-mentioned main parameters. The quantificational proportion relations, between these key structural parameters and Von-Mises maximum stress of cylinder head, can provide a good help for the cylinder head’s structural design.

The paper describes an experiment focusing on the way the material system influences the bond strength of large-format tiles installed on concrete substrate during mechanical loading under conditions that correspond to real-life application. This involves a controllable mechanical load applied over an area of a test model while observing its condition using non-destructive methods (ultrasonic pulse velocity test, acoustic emission method, strain measurement, and acoustic tracing). The model consisted of a concrete slab onto which were mounted four different systems with large-format tiles with the dimensions of 3 m × 1 m. The combinations differed in the thickness of the tile, the adhesive, and whether or not a fabric membrane was included in the adhesive bed. The experiment showed that the loading caused no damage to the ceramic tile. All the detected failures took place in the adhesive layer or in the concrete slab.
