Planar conformity of movements in 3D reaching tasks for persons with Multiple Sclerosis
(2018)
Robotic rehabilitation of the upper limb has been proved beneficial for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In order to provide task-specific therapy for MS, given its complex impairing nature, it is desired to take ...
Minimally Actuated Four-Bar Linkages for Upper Limb Rehabilitation
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)
In the previous years the scientific community dealt extensively with designing, developing and testing robot-based rehabilitation systems. Besides the benefits that resulted for disabled people, this twenty-year endeavor ...
Design of an advanced heavy tactical truck: A target cascading case study
(2001)
The target cascading methodology is applied to the conceptual design of an advanced heavy tactical truck. Two levels are defined: an integrated truck model is represented at the top (vehicle) level and four independent ...
An Algorithm for the Selection of Physical System Model Order Based on Desired State Accuracy and Computational Efficiency
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2003)
In recent years, algorithms have been developed to help automate the production of dynamic system models, The focus of this development has been to create procedures and algorithms that use modeling metrics for generating ...
A modular modeling approach for the design of reconfigurable machine tools
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, United StatesAffiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Ersal, T.Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, United Statesemail: tersal@umich.edu, 2004)
A new generation of machine tools called Reconfigurable Machine Tools (RMTs) is emerging as a means for industry to be more competitive in a market that experiences frequent changes in demand. New methodologies and tools ...
Implementing the milliken moment method using controlled dynamic simulation
(2005)
The Milliken Moment Method (MMM) can be used to quantify the constraints imposed on vehicle stability and controllability by front and rear tire traction limitations. The main aspect of the Milliken Moment Method is the ...
Model complexity of a cantilever beam: An energy-based approach
(Dime University of Genoa, 2015)
The cantilever beam is a component widely used in numerous engineering systems with its geometric and material properties varying depending on the application. Calculating the dynamic behavior of a cantilever beam is a ...
Modelling and control of a medium-duty hybrid electric truck
(2004)
The main contributions of this paper are the development of a forward-looking hybrid vehicle simulation tool, and its application to the design of a power management control algorithm, The hybrid electric vehicle simulation ...
Complexity of distributed parameter bond graph models
(The Society for Modeling and Simulation International, 2014)
Modeling metrics and algorithms that assist the development of dynamic system models are essential for efficient use of modeling and simulation in everyday engineering tasks. Various modeling procedures have been proposed ...
Ideal physical element representation from reduced bond graphs
(2002)
Previous research has demonstrated that bond graphs are a natural and convenient representation to implement energy-based metrics that evaluate the relative 'value' of energy elements in a dynamic system model. Bond graphs ...
