Evaluation of Composite Vane Materials for Rotary Sliding Vane Compressors

The physical performance characteristics of composite materials used for vanes in rotary, sliding-vane compressors, in general, are several orders of magnitude more difficult to quantify for design purposes than most homogeneous materials. This arises from the numerous variables that influence the response of these materials under the severe environmental conditions existing in such compressors...

Friction Estimation and Compensation for Steering Angle Control for Highly Automated Driving

This contribution presents a friction estimator for industrial purposes which identifies Coulomb friction in a steering system. The estimator only needs a few, usually known, steering system parameters. Friction occurs on almost every mechanical system and has a negative influence on high-precision position control. This is demonstrated on a steering angle controller for highly automated drivin...

Nonlinear Dynamic Control and Friction Compensation of Parallel Manipulators

Comparing with the serial ones, parallel manipulators have potential advantages in terms of high stiffness, accuracy and speed (Merlet, 2001). Especially the high accuracy and speed performances make the parallel manipulators widely applied to the following fields, like the pick-and-place operation in food, medicine, electronic industry and so on. At present, the key issues are the ways to meet...

Vane Dynamics Analysis of a Tilted Vane Rotary Compressor

An analytical model of vane dynamics in a tilted vane rotary compressor is presented. With the geometric relationship of the vane in a tilted slot, and the roller, the kinetic equations were derived for evaluating the reciprocating inertial force of the vane, and the chamber volume equations were obtained for calculating pressure history inside the compression chamber. The empirical friction co...
