The lightweight and compact actuator with high power is required to perform motion with multiple degrees of freedom. To reduce the size and inertia of a robot manipulator, the mechanical transmission system is used. The shape memory alloy(SMA) is similar to the muscle-tendon-bone network of a human hand. However, there are some drawback and nonlinearity, such as the hysteresis and the stress dependence. In this paper, the design of the underactuated robot hand is studied. The 3-finger dexterous hand is driven by the SMA actuator using segmental mechanism. This digital approach enables to overcome the nonlinearity of SMA wire. The translational displacement of SMA actuator required to bend a phalanx of the underactuated robot hand is estimated and the bending angle of the underactuated robot hand according to input displacement of SMA actuator is predicted by the multi-body dynamic analysis.

This paper is a presentation of a physical model for the elastic-partly plastic behavior of rectangular hollow section pinned struts subjected to static cyclic axial loading and the evaluation of the compressive strength of retrofitted damaged struts. Retrofitting is achieved by welding stiffening plates along the webs of damaged struts. The shape of the elastic and permanent deformations of the strut axis satisfy the conditions at the ends and midspan. Continuous functions of the geometric variables of stress distributions in the yielded zone are evaluated by interpolation between three points along each partly plastic zone. Permanent deformations of the partly plastic region are computed and used to update the shape of the unloaded strut. The necessity of considering geometric nonlinearity is discussed. The sensitivity of the results to the location of interpolation points, the shape of the permanent deformation and material hysteretic properties is investigated.

This paper describes a new robust control algorithm which can be used to enhance the positioning performance of an ultra-precision positioning system. The working table is supported by flexure hinges and moved by a piezoelectric actuator, whose position is measured by an ultra-precise linear encoder. The system dynamics is very complicated because the movement of the table is governed by both the mechanical characteristics and those of the PZT actuator. So that, the dynamics of the stage was modeled roughly in this paper, and the overall system was formularized to solve the small gain problem. A series of experiments was conducted in order to verify the usefulness of the proposed algorithm. From the experimental results, the positioning performance such as the accuracy, the rise time and the hysteresis nonlinearity were greatly improved.

This paper presents the analysis of friction master curves for a sliding elastomer on rough granite. The hysteresis friction is calculated using an analytical model that considers the energy spent during the local deformation of the rubber due to surface asperities. The adhesion friction is also considered for dry friction prediction. The viscoelastic modulus of the rubber compound and the large-strain effective modulus are obtained from dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). We accurately demonstrate the large strain of rubber that contacts with road substrate using the GW theory. We found that the rubber block deforms approximately to 40% strain. In addition, the viscoelastic master curve considering nonlinearity (at 40% strain) is derived based on the above finding. As viscoelasticity strongly depends on temperature, it can be assumed that the influence of velocity on friction is connected to the viscoelastic shift factors gained from DMA using the time-temperature superposition. In this study, we apply these shift factors to measure friction on dry granite over a velocity range for various temperatures. The measurements are compared to simulated hysteresis and adhesion friction using the Kluppel friction theory. Although friction results in the low-speed band match well with the simulation results, there are differences in the predicted and experimental results as the velocity increases. Thus, additional research is required for a more precise explanation of the viscoelastic material properties for better prediction of rubber friction characteristics.

Magnetostrictive materials are used low-frequency sonar transmitter instead of piezoelectric materials. But it is difficult to analyze due to the nonlinearity and hysteresis of magnetostrictive materials. This paper deals with the program development based on finite element method to model the magnetostrictive tonpilz transducers and to analyze their acoustic characteristics. (omitted)

In this paper, we presents the construction details and output characteristics of a thick film piezoresistive strain gage. The thick film was printed on the ceramic diaphragm back side by screen printing and cured at 850$^{\circ}C$. The strain distribution and deflection on ceramic diaphragm were performed with finite-element method(FEM tool ANSYS-5.3). Various thick film strain gage characteristics were analysed, including nonlinearity, hysteresis, stability and sensitivity of thick film strain gages.

금속은 가공성이 우수하기 때문에 다양한 형태의 구조물이나 격막을 제작할 수 있다. 이런 금속 구조물이나 격막에 민감도가 월등히 우수한 실리콘 스트레인 게이지를 적용할 경우 그 응용 범위가 다양해질 수 있다. 이에 금속구조물에 다결정 실리콘 스트레인 게이지를 접착한 형태의 센서를 제안하였다. 실리콘 기판을 이용해 박막형 다결정 실리콘 스트레인 게이지를 제작하기 위한 제작공정을 확립하였으며, 제작된 실리콘 스트레인 게이지를 금속 변형부 위에 접착하기 위한 접착공정을 확립하였다. 이후 금속 외팔보에 실리콘 스트레인 게이지를 글래스 프릿 접착하여 성능평가를 실시하였다. 성능평가 결과 게이지팩터는 34.0 의 값을 가졌으며, TCR(Temperature Coefficient of Resistance)은 $-328\;ppm/^{\circ}C$의 값을 가졌다.

SRM의 특성 중 비선형성으로 인해 최대토크 및 최소 토크 맥동 형성을 위한 적정 운전이 어렵다. 또한 고정 스위칭각 제어 때 속도 가변에 따른 토크 형성이 불안정하여 효율을 저하시키는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 속도 가변에 따른 능동적인 스위칭각 제어가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 SRM의 비선형성으로 인한 문제점으로부터 선행각 (Advance angle)의 자동제어에 의한 토크 리플 저감과 이에 따른 출력 토크 향상에 의한 구동 성능개선을 위한 방법에 대해 모색하였다. 또한 히스테리시스 전류제어기 성능에 따른 스위칭 가변으로 인한 SRM의 최적 운전에 대해 살펴보았다.

Many Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) methods have been proposed for structural damage diagnosis and prognosis. However, SHM for pinched hysteretic structures can be problematic due to the high level of nonlinearity. The model-free hysteresis loop analysis (HLA) has displayed notable robustness and accuracy in identifying damage for full-scaled and scaled test buildings. In this paper, the performance of HLA is compared with seven other SHM methods in identifying lateral elastic stiffness for a six-story numerical building with highly nonlinear pinching behavior. Two successive earthquakes are employed to compare the accuracy and consistency of methods within and between events. Robustness is assessed across sampling rates 50-1000 Hz in noise-free condition and then assessed with 10% root mean square (RMS) noise added to responses at 250 Hz sampling rate. Results confirm HLA is the most robust method to sampling rate and noise. HLA preserves high accuracy even when the sampling rate drops to 50 Hz, where the performance of other methods deteriorates considerably. In noisy conditions, the maximum absolute estimation error is less than 4% for HLA. The overall results show HLA has high robustness and accuracy for an extremely nonlinear, but realistic case compared to a range of leading and recent model-based and model-free methods.
