Having natures of low speed, high torque and quick response characteristics, ultrasonic motors (USM) are applied in robot, precision machine and optical instruments. A lightweight actuator is essential to decrease the total weight and increase the operability. Although USMs, in general, are superior to conventional electromagnetic motor in torque/weight ratio, lighter motor is demanded. In this...

Ultrasonic motor’s model adapting to control application is the foundation of the motor’s high performance control. Ultrasonic motor’s frequency-speed control model gives a signification to improve speed control performance. This paper shows the design of stepping response experiments, and also explains the model identification of USM by the way of characteristic point method. Considering its t...

in this paper the telemac-3d model has been hired to simulate and study the high waves’ interaction with coastal structures. therefore a special arrangement of telemac-3d has been prepared in this study to simulate wave generation, coastal processes, wave set-up and overtopping over coastal structures. experimental data has been used to verify this arrangement of the model. thereafter, the mode...

Abstract The brushless DC motor is driven by a square wave. Compared with the sinusoidal synchronous motor, control simple. airborne radar servo system described in this paper uses drive, PWM control, and angular position. speed detection feedback loop composed of resolver for digital converters. adopts current, speed, position closed-loop design. design simulation carried out using MATLAB/Simu...

In this paper, a new type of harmonic injection permanent magnet shape optimization method is proposed to suppress the torque ripple surface-mounted synchronous motor. The sinusoidal waveform shaping axial section added with third shaping, and sine wave are derived. optimal ratio 6:1. no combined compared. results show that design can effectively surface mounted motor obtain relatively large ou...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Failure of prompt motor recovery after spontaneous recirculation or thrombolytic therapy may be due to an unsatisfactory restoration of synaptic activity within cortex and/or blockade of electrical impulses at the severely ischemic subcortical region. METHODS Afferent, efferent, and synaptic activities were focally examined within the rat sensorimotor cortex by recordin...

The Hoffmann reflex (H-wave) is produced by alpha-motoneuron activation in the spinal cord. A feature of this electromyography response is that it exhibits fluctuations in amplitude even during repetitive stimulation with the same intensity of current. We herein explore the hypothesis that physical training induces plastic changes in the motor system. Such changes are evaluated with the fractal...

Combined V-wave and Hoffmann (H) reflex measurements were performed during maximal muscle contraction to examine the neural adaptation mechanisms induced by resistance training. The H-reflex can be used to assess the excitability of spinal alpha-motoneurons, while also reflecting transmission efficiency (i.e., presynaptic inhibition) in Ia afferent synapses. Furthermore, the V-wave reflects the...
