Integrated Mechatronic Design for Servo Mechanical Systems

Mechatronic systems typically exhibited high a degree of complexity due to the strong cross coupling of the involved different engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electronic and computer. This complexity originates from the large number of couplings on various levels of the contributing elements and components, coming from different disciplines. The difficulty for the design engineer in...

The Design and Optimization of Distillation Column with Heat and Power Integrated Systems

Based on two integration steps, an optimization framework is proposed in this work for the synthesis and design of complex distillation sequence. The first step is to employ heat integration in sequence and reduce the heat consumption and total annual cost of the process. The second one is to increase the exergetic efficiency of sequence by generating power in implemented expanders in sequence....

The Mechanical Design of Drowsiness Detection Using Color Based Features

This paper demonstrates design and fabrication o f a mechatronic system for human drowsiness detection. This system can be used in multiple places. For example, in factories, it is used on some dangerous machinery and in cars in order t o prevent the operator o r driver from falling asleep. This system is composed of three parts: (1) mechanical, (2) electrical and (3) image processing system. A...

THERMO-MECHANICAL DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF CORDIERITE–MULLITE BASED KILN FURNITURE

Abstract: Cordierite-Mullite based kiln furnitures are widely used in fast-firing of ceramic products because of their low thermal expansion which confer them a very good ability to thermal shock resistance. Difference in CTE of constituent phase can develop damage during thermal cycling due to internal stresses. Increase in industrial competitiveness leads to the development of new means for e...
