Dynamics modeling of gear transmissions with asymmetric load-dependent friction

Velocity Dependence of Joint Friction in Robotic Manipulators with Gear Transmissions

This paper analyses the problem of modelling joint friction in robotic manipulators with gear transmissions at joint velocities varying from close to zero until their maximum appearing values. It is shown that commonly used friction models that incorporate Coulomb, (linear) viscous and Stribeck components are inadequate to describe the friction behaviour for the full velocity range. A new frict...

Fundamental Development of Hypocycloidal Gear Transmissions

Inverse Sturm--Liouville problems using three spectra with finite number of transmissions and parameter dependent conditions

‎In this manuscript‎, ‎we study various by uniqueness results for inverse spectral problems of Sturm--Liouville operators using three spectrum with a finite number of discontinuities at interior points which we impose the usual transmission conditions‎. ‎We consider both the cases of classical Robin and eigenparameter dependent boundary conditions.

The Kinematic Design of Automatic Gear Transmissions for Bicycles

Recently, bicycles are used as exercising machines and traffic vehicles. Planetary gear trains can be used as the transmission systems for bicycles. The purpose of this work is to propose a design methodology for the kinematic design of automatic gear transmissions with planetary gear trains for bicycles. First, applying the check list method (combining and extending methods), the design concep...

Internally architectured materials with directionally asymmetric friction

Internally Architectured Materials (IAMs) that exhibit different friction forces for sliding in the opposite directions are proposed. This is achieved by translating deformation normal to the sliding plane into a tangential force in a manner that is akin to a toothbrush with inclined bristles. Friction asymmetry is attained by employing a layered material or a structure with parallel 'ribs' inc...
