this paper focuses on the optimization of initiating dimensions of groove bearing in association with de- sired design of vehicle’s front structure which is made up of low carbon steels in the case of frontal collision. axial bearing analysis is done numerically using nonlinear finite element code ls-dyna. in this analysis, changes of two main parameters including measure of energy absorption o...

Series Elastic Actuators have linear springs intentionally placed in series between the motor and actuator output. The spring strain is measured to get an accurate estimate of force. Despite using a transmission to achieve high force/mass and high power/mass, the spring allows for good force control, high force fidelity, minimum impedance, and large dynamic range. A second order linear actuator...

in this paper, nonlinear vibration and instability response of an embedded pipe conveying viscose fluid is investigated. the pipe is considered as a timoshenko beam embedded on an elastic foundation which is simulated by spring constant of the winkler-model and the shear constant of the pasternak-model. the external flow force, acting on the beam in the direction of the flexural displacement is...

The prediction of the strength of the electrorheological (ER) effect is the main concern in a theoretical investigation of ER fluids. The ER effect originates from the induced interaction between the polarized particles in an ER fluid. As the mismatch in material parameters (either conductivities or dielectric constants) is responsible for the ER effects, previous theoretical studies have taken...
