Robot-assisted therapy has been proved effective for dyskinesia, and has many unique advantages compared with traditional treatment, such as repeatability, accuracy, objectivity. But some studies show that the effect of the robot-assisted rehabilitation for improving patients' activities of daily life (ADLs) is not obvious. This study introduces a novel auxiliary method-vibration stimulation co...

High-speed water jets are key technologies for increased production efficiency in oil drilling, and high-speed self-excited oscillating pulsed (SEOPWs) offer many advantages compared to continuous most industrial applications. Therefore, studies have focused on this topic. However, the current hydraulic rarely extended integrated modeling of jet transmission process. To better apply SEOPWs, bas...

Vibration of the masseter and temporalis muscles in normal human adult subjects elicits a tonic vibration reflex with unexpected features. The electromyographic response is not asynchronous as in the limb muscles, but involves well-defined spikes with a one-to-one temporal relation to the vibration cycles. The effect of various parameters such as muscle stretch, vibration frequency or amplitude...

BTA 1 deep hole drilling is a method for producing precision bores with high length to diameter ratios. The long and slender tools feature low torsional and bending stiffness. This may lead to undesirable dynamic disturbances of the machining process usually classified as either chatter vibration or spiralling. Prediction and identification of the causes of these process failures is important f...

Ultrasonic assisted drilling (UAD) has been reported effective for thrust force reduction during drilling of CFRP resulting in lower exit delamination. However, this process is not fully understood in relation to machining theory. This work focused on understanding the separate effects of chisel and cutting edges during UAD in comparison with conventional drilling (CD). Experiments were perform...

Bone drilling is one of the most common operations used to repair fractured parts of bones. During a bone drilling process, microcracks are generated on the inner surface of the drilled holes that can detrimentally affect osteosynthesis and healing. This study focuses on the investigation of microcracks and pullout strength of cortical-bone screws in drilled holes. It compares conventional surg...

With the gradual promotion and application of difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium matrix composites in aerospace field, high-quality hole-making technology has become a major demand aviation manufacturing. In order to improve quality TiBw/TC4 composites, asynchronous mixed frequency vibration-assisted (AMFVAHM) method is proposed. The process consists two steps: ultrasonic drilling ...
