Abstract: Collisions between rigid bodies are impulsive events, meaning they create near-instantaneous, finite discontinuities in the velocity state of the dynamic system. If velocity is assumed to be ...
Abstract: This article expounds the design and control of a new variable stiffness series elastic actuator (VSSEA). It is established by employing a modular mechanical design approach that allows us ...
The macroscopic properties of composite materials depend on the microscopic properties of the constituents and the geometric arrangement of their phases. Therefore, it is essential to predict ...
