The tip of the flexible robot arm has to be controlled by the active control reducing vibration because it has residual vibration after getting to desired position. This paper presents an end-point position control of a 1-link flexible robot arm having tip mass by the PID control algorithm. The system is composed of a flexible arm with tip mass, dc servomotor and ballscrew mechanism under translational motion. The feedback signal composed of the tip displacement measured by laser sensor, estimated velocity and acceleration is used to control the base motion. Theoretical results are obtained by applying the Laplace transform and the numerical inversion method to the governing equations. After the flexible robot arm reaches to. the desired position, the residual vibration is controlled by the PID algorithm. This paper gives the simulation and experimental results of end-point responses according to changing tip-mass and arm length. And this algorithm shows good effects of reducing the residual vibration. Approximately, theoretical response is in good agreement with experimental one.

A linear compressor used in a refrigerator has higher energy efficiency than a reciprocating compressor, but its vibration level is still severe than others. The vibration level of linear compressor at the frequency of 60Hz is dominant since it is the exciting frequency of a motor. In this paper, a simulation tool to predict the shell vibration of the linear compressor was developed. The shell and body parts in a compressor were assumed to be 3-dimensional rigid body having both translational and rotational motion, while the reciprocating piston part has only 1-dimensional translational motion. The flexible loop-pipe was modeled by in-house code of finite element method. To verify the developed tool, five cases of different loop-pipe shapes were examined experimentally. The results by the developed tool showed good agreements with those by experiments.

Primary radiation force on ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) in a propagating and standing acoustic field was explored. A specific ultrasound contrast agent $Albunex^{(R)}$ and $Optison^{(R)}$ were chosen for simulation. The model was developed based on a shelled bubble model proposed by Church. The numerical simulation suggests that bubble translational motion is more significant in therapeutic ultrasound due to higher intensity and long pulse duration. Even a single cycle of a propagating wave of 4 MPa at 1 MHz can cause a bubble translational motion of greater than $1{\mu}m$ which is approximately one tenth of capillary. Hence, UCA characteristics can be significantly changed in therapeutic ultrasound without rapid bubble collapses.

The Lane-Curvature Method(LCM) presented in this paper is a new local obstacle avoidance method for indoor mobile robots. The method combines Curvature-Velocith Method(CVM) with a new directional method called the Lane Method. The Lane Method divides the environment into lanes taking the information on obstacles and desired heading of the robot into account ; then it chooses the best lane to follow to optimize travel along a desired heading. A local heading is then calculated for entering and following the best lane, and CVM uses this heading to determine the optimal translational and rotational velocity space methods, LCM yields safe collision-free motion as well as smooth motion taking the dynamics of the robot Xavier, show the efficiency of the proposed method.

A novel translational 3-dof parallel mechanism is proposed and analyzed. The mechanism consists of three RRPS serial subchains and an additional passive 3-dof type serial subchain. Three RRPS serial subchains alone may form a structure of the 6-DOF Stewart Platform mechanism. However, in the proposed mechanism, an additional passive serial subchain acts as constraints to restrict the output motion of the mechanism in 3-DOF translational space. The closed form position solutions of the proposed mechanism and its first-order kinematic model are derived. Then its workspace size and kinematic characteristics are examined via kinematic isotropic index.

This paper deals with the dynamic stability of a disc brake pad taking into account of its shear deformation and rotary inertia. A brake pad can be modeled as a beam like model subjected to distributed friction forces and having two translational springs. The study of this model is intended to provide a fundamental understanding of dynamic stability of drum brake pad. Governing equations of motion are derived from extended Hamilton's principle and their corresponding numerical solutions are obtained by applying the finite element formulation. The critical distributed friction force and the instability types are investigated bt changing two translational spring constants, rotary inertia parameter and shear deformation parameter. Also, the changes of eigen-frequencies of a beam determining instability types are investigated for various combinations of two translational spring constants.

This paper proposes that can take at high speed the information of binocular disparity with moving translational and forward stereo camera to the extent that does not occur the problem of a correspondence point. It shows that in case of stereo vision with translational motion, can take the information of binocular disparity being devoid of error and putting high confidence in, and that in case of stereo vision with forward motion, can take the horizontal component which can not be detected in common stereo vision. Besides, the stereo vision can be done at high speed due to being bright and small a correspondence point comparing not to do, because a correspondence between right and left images is previously limited. But there are problem that a resonable information of binocular disparity can not be taken, if the vicinity of center of image is in accord with the region of occlusion in stereo vision with forward motion.

The purpose of this paper is to present the basic mathematical modeling of a hexacopter, which could be used to develop proper methods for stabilization and trajectory control. A hexacopter consists of six rotors with three pairs of counter-rotating fixed-pitch blades. This mechanism is an under-actuated, dynamically unstable, six-degrees-of-freedom system. The whole motion of this object consists of translational and rotational motion in three dimensions, where the translational motion is created by changing the direction and magnitude of the upward propeller thrust. The hexacopter is controlled by adjusting the angular velocities of the rotors, which are spun by electric motors. It is assumed to be a rigid body; thus, the differential equation of the hexacopter dynamics can be derived from the Newton-Euler equation. The Euler-angle parametrization of the three-dimensional rotations contains singular points in the coordinate space that can cause failure of both the dynamical model and control. In order to avoid singularities, the rotations of the hexacopter are parametrized in terms of quaternions. This choice has been made considering the linearity of the quaternion formulation and their stability and efficiency. Further, control simulation of a hexacopter applying cascaded-PID control is also presented in this paper.

Coupled structures are widely seen in civil and mechanical engineering. In coupled structures, monitoring the translational motion of its key components is of great importance. For instance, some coupled arms are equipped with a hydraulic piston to provide the stiffness along the piston axial direction. The piston moves back and forth and a distance sensing system is necessary to make sure that the piston is within its stroke limit. The measured motion data also give us insight into how the coupled structure works and provides information for the design optimization. This paper develops two distance sensing systems for coupled structures. The first system measures distance with ultrasonic sensor. It consists of an ultrasonic sensing module, an Arduino interface board and a control computer. The system is then further upgraded to a three-sensor version, which can measure three different sets of distance data at the same time. The three modules are synchronized by the Arduino interface board as well as the self-developed software. Each ultrasonic sensor transmits high frequency ultrasonic waves from its transmitting unit and evaluates the echo received back by the receiving unit. From the measured time interval between sending the signal and receiving the echo, the distance to an object is determined. The second distance sensing system consists of a wire draw encoder, a data collection board and the control computer. Wire draw encoder is an electromechanical device to monitor linear motion by converting a central shaft rotation into electronic pulses of the encoder. Encoder can measure displacement, velocity and acceleration simultaneously and send the measured data to the control computer via the data acquisition board. From experimental results, it is concluded that both the ultrasonic and the wire draw encoder systems can obtain the linear motion of structures in real-time.
