Functional models represent a form independent blueprint of a product. As with any blueprint or schematic, a consistent language or coding system is required to ensure others can read it. This paper introduces such a design language, called a functional basis, where product function is characterized in a verbobject (function-flow) format. The set of functions and flows is intended to comprehens...

This work presents a commentary of the article published by A. Zadegan and A. Zilouchian (ASME J. Dyn. Sys. Meas. Contr. ,Volume 127,Issue 3, pp. 486-498, 2005). We show their order reduction method is not always true and may leads to inaccurate results and is therefore erroneous. A framework for solving the problem is also suggested .

Alstonia scholaris has been used by traditional medicine practitioners since the medieval ages for the treatment of diseases. The aim of this research was to evaluate the acute and sub-acute oral toxicity of its methanolic extract. The acute toxicity test was conducted using Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. The methanolic extract of Alstonia scholaris stem bark (ASME) was administrated in a single dos...

To develop rationalized maintenance plans for nuclear power plants, the characteristics of each plant must be considered. For sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) constraints on inspections exist due to specialty that equipment retaining sodium handled, which is one important points considered in rationalization. In this study, we propose a optimization scheme, design support tool, using risk infor...

This work describes a control method for the stable accommodation of contact forces! when the robot interacts with the environment. In robotic deburring, for example, the robot endpoint is constrained by the the part to be deburred (7,8). After defming unstructured models (input-output relationships) for both the robotic and environment subsystems, we combine them to obtain a general, nonlinear...
