An intelligent universal virtual laboratory (UVL)
- Trang 75-80
M. Duarte, B.P. Butz
The objective of this project is to create a realistic, real-time, electrical engineering virtual laboratory for the use of disabled students. This project targets individuals who do not have adequate mobility of their upper bodies to perform laboratory experiments. To provide a more realistic and enhanced learning experience, the users of the virtual laboratory are allowed the freedom to build an... hiện toàn bộ

Fault-tolerant kinematically redundant robots
- Trang 381-385
C. Caldwell, R.G. Roberts
Fault tolerance is a critical issue for teleoperated or autonomous robotic systems that are operating in hazardous and/or remote environments where joint failures are likely. A single joint failure can render an otherwise dexterous manipulator useless. In this article, we examine two measures of fault tolerance. In addition to determining optimally fault tolerant configurations, these measures can... hiện toàn bộ

Analysis of a linear variable reluctance motor with magnetically coupled phases
- Trang 219-223
D.G. Taylor, R. Ahmed
This paper deals with the magnetic modeling of a type of linear variable reluctance motor. The motor under study is a three-phase motor that exhibits strong magnetic coupling between its phases. Two modeling techniques are used: the magnetic circuit analysis is emphasized due to its simplicity and computational efficiency; and the finite element analysis is used primarily to provide accurate bench... hiện toàn bộ

Web-based experimentation integration in engineering curricula: experience in deploying resources distributed among universities
- Trang 66-70
D. Gillet, O.D. Crisalle, H.A. Latchman
Web-based experimentation is a paradigm currently deployed by various clusters of traditional and open universities for the main purpose of enhancing the offering of didactic resources designed to strengthen hands-on practice in engineering education by sharing laboratory experiments distributed worldwide. Web-based experimentation also offers an tremendous opportunity to add flexibility in tradit... hiện toàn bộ

Methodology for universal synthesis of magnetic designs based on field specifications
- Trang 113-117
N. Brooks, T. Baldwin
New technologies relying on complex magnetic fields are being explored, resulting in new products and processes. The design phase in these technologies calls for the specifications in the number, placement, and orientation of magnetic sources to meet a set of requirements. These requirements include flux densities and orientations at specific points. For complex field patterns, a synthesis tool ma... hiện toàn bộ

Steering controller design using scale-model vehicles
- Trang 476-478
S.R. Burns, R.T. O'Brien, J.A. Piepmeier
A scale-model, experimental apparatus is developed to design and evaluate steering controller designs. The controller is designed using linear quadratic optimal control methods on a standard four-state vehicle model. The apparatus simulates the human driver using a scale-model vehicle, a treadmill, and a vision system.

A nonlinear flight controller design for a UFO by trajectory linearization method. II. Controller design
- Trang 103-107
Xiaofei Wu, T. Adami, J. Campbell, G. Jianwei, J.J. Zhu
For part I, see ibid., p.97-102 (2002). We present an attitude controller design for a 3 DOF flight control experiment apparatus, the Quanser UFO, as an application of the multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear tracking and decoupling control technique based on a trajectory linearization method. The controller consists of two parts: a pseudo-inverse of the plant that computes the nominal contr... hiện toàn bộ

Electromagnetic modeling and design of broadband spatial power combiners
- Trang 108-112
M.V. Lukich, A.B. Yakovlev, A.Z. Elsherbeni, C.E. Smith
In this paper we present a spatial power combining architecture consisting of several interacting printed antenna arrays placed at dielectric interfaces in multilayered waveguide. Previously used narrowband resonant patch and slot antennas are replaced by tapered meander slot antennas and their modifications, in order to increase the frequency bandwidth and efficiency of the system and provide ope... hiện toàn bộ

Đánh giá độ ổn định sử dụng phương pháp đầu tiên của Lyapunov Dịch bởi AI
- Trang 297-301
T.M. Adami, E. Best, J.J. Zhu
Một chỉ số phân tích "mất ổn định" được trình bày, có thể áp dụng cho các hệ thống phi tuyến có bậc tùy ý. Các tác giả đề xuất sử dụng chỉ số Lyapunov như một "chỉ số rời rạc" mà có thể đặc biệt hữu ích trong các hệ thống điều khiển bay như một cảnh báo về sự bất ổn định. Việc thử nghiệm phương pháp này đã bắt đầu bằng cách sử dụng phiên bản chuyên dụng của gói mô phỏng bay gọi là SLIM (Space Laun... hiện toàn bộ
