Flexible manipulators, integral to modern robotics and industrial automation, are characterised by their lightweight structures and inherent elasticity. This feature, while enabling fast, ...

Particle damping has emerged as an effective passive method to suppress unwanted vibrations in a range of engineering applications. By utilising the inelastic collisions and friction between granular ...

There are natural frequencies in all equipment that have components. Generally, they exist in the 8 to 200 Hz environmental spectrum. Figure 46.1 demonstrates the transmissibility and resonant ...

Today’s ac servo systems are much different than those built even 10 years ago. Faster processors and higher resolution encoders are enabling manufacturers to implement amazing advances in tuning ...

In the offshore subsea environment, weather disruptions and changes in the oceanic environment are common considerations for operators. Reducing the effects of such factors is key to keeping costs low ...
