This paper presents a geometrical method for the workspace analysis of 6-PRRS parallel manipulators. A geometric algorithm is described for the computation of the constant-orientation workspace, which was implemented in the CAD/CAM system CATIA. The in ̄uence of the di€erent design parameters on the workspace, as well as on other properties of the manipulator, is discussed. In addition, a new re...

Article history: Received: 26.4.2015. Received in revised form: 16.9.2015. Accepted: 22.9.2015. The scattered point cloud data, which comes from such small-sized objects with complex free-form surface as shelled shrimp, is processed as error points removing, points filtering, holes filling, clouds segmenting, etc. using CATIA V5 R20. The principle of data processing and skills utilized in the o...

Numerical simulation of the injection molding process outer panel automotive plastic rear door and mold design is presented here. Computer aided three-dimensional interactive application (CATIA) employed to original steel structure, modal thermodynamic properties back are changed by changing different materials panel. In order efficiently panels, finite element analysis used verify whether desi...

The paper presents in an applicative manner a parameter-based methodology about design, modeling and optimization of spur gear pump, currently under production Romanian company. Wanting to expand their product range, the company asked for design this type FEM simulations its conception cover wider range flow rates, as required by current beneficiaries. purpose research was find improved alterna...

The aim of this report is to present a new two-piece thyroid-neck phantom produced by the concurrent use of epoxy resin and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA: plexiglass) soft tissue equivalent materials. Accordingly, mass attenuation coefficients of the epoxy resin and the plexiglass compounds were obtained from simulation (NIST XCOM 3.1) and measurements (practical dosimetry) and compared to th...

In this paper one anthropomorphic modular reconfigurable gripper for robots are described , including a prototype. For the first time the stages of synthesis, analysis design and functional simulation are presented. The structural synthesis of the anthropomorphic grippers for robots can be made regarding the following main criteria: the number of fingers, the number of phalanxes, the relative d...
