A modern manufacturing facility typically contains several distributed control systems, such as machining stations, assembly stations, and material handling and storage systems. Integrating Radio Frequency Identification ...

This study presents novel analysis and synthesis methods for a certain type of geared adjustable stroke mechanism. The mechanism has significance in mechanical design, as it has been used in practice. However, to the best ...

In this study, a novel kinematic analysis procedure of the double wishbone suspension mechanism regarding steering input is proposed. In the previous study, published by the authors, the double wishbone mechanism was ...

This paper introduces the characterization study of a new actuator design -"Adhesive Pillar Based Air Levitation" (APAL) system-to manipulate fine objects in a non-destructive manner. A meso-scale polymer adhesive pillar ...

A piezoelectric energy harvesting system, where elastomer pillars stand on a piezoelectric polymer layer is designed, fabricated and tested for low and broadband frequency vibrations. In this configuration, elastomer pillars ...

The tactile sensors are primarily used to measure the contact area and normal pressure of contacting two solids. The common deficiencies of the current tactile sensors are flexibility, adaptation to contacting bodies, ...

A thermoelectric energy harvesting module for the pressure measurement of air induction system of heavy duty vehicles is designed. A positive contribution for cable complexity, fuel consumption and vehicle performance is ...

This paper presents a novel study on the analysis of the "fully compliant" spatial four-bar mechanism. To the best of our knowledge, any research on "fully compliant" spatial four-bar mechanism is not available in the ...

This paper introduces novel approaches for analysis of the double wishbone suspension mechanism. In the literature, to the best of our knowledge there is no analysis study available for the double wishbone mechanism that ...

Conventional wiper mechanisms that are used in automotive vehicles comprise numerous linkages and joints. In this study, in order to obtain a simpler design, a novel compliant wiper mechanism is introduced. The wiper ...
