Topology optimization of constrained and unconstrained damping layers
(Canadian Acoustical Association, 2019)Damping is an effective way of suppressing mechanical vibrations. Passive constrained and unconstrained layer damping patches are often used in the industry as damping solution for vibrations and acoustics problems. In ... -
Topology optimization-based design and development of a compact actuator with a high torque-to-weight ratio for quadrupeds
(IEEE, 2022)This paper presents the design, development, and testing procedures for a compact actuator with a high torque-to-weight ratio, generally aimed to actuate legged robots, e.g., quadrupeds. The main goal of designing the ... -
Torque and variable stiffness control for antagonistically driven pneumatic muscle actuators via a stable force feedback controller
(IEEE, 2015)This paper describes a novel controller that is capable of simultaneously controlling torque and variable stiffness in real-time, for actuators with antagonistically driven pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs). To this end, ... -
A torque matched aerodynamic performance analysis method for the horizontal axis wind turbines
(Wiley, 2013-11)An analysis method is developed to test the operational performance of a horizontal axis wind turbines. The rotor is constrained to the torque–speed characteristic of the coupled generator. Therefore, the operational ... -
Total harmonic distortion and power factor improvement technique for CRM flyback PFC converters
(IEEE, 2019)In many of today's solid-state lighting applications, Critical Conduction Mode (CCM) Flyback PFC converter is a popular solution due to its limited component count and simple structure with respect to other SMPS topologies. ... -
Towards a testing framework with visual feedback for actor-based systems
(IEEE, 2018-08-02)We introduce a prototype testing framework as an extension of JUnit for testing actor-based systems. Our framework runs a given JUnit test in various schedules and records the execution trace for each run. In case a failure ... -
Towards active tracking of beating heart motion in the presence of arrhythmia for robotic assisted beating heart surgery
(Plos, 2014-07-21)In robotic assisted beating heart surgery, the control architecture for heart motion tracking has stringent requirements in terms of bandwidth of the motion that needs to be tracked. In order to achieve sufficient tracking ... -
Towards an efficient anomaly-based intrusion detection for software-defined networks
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2018-08-24)Software-defined networking (SDN) is a new paradigm that allows developing more flexible network applications. A SDN controller, which represents a centralised controlling point, is responsible for running various network ... -
Towards automated aircraft maintenance inspection. A use case of detecting aircraft dents using mask r-cnn
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA, 2020)Deep learning can be used to automate aircraft maintenance visual inspection. This can help increase the accuracy of damage detection, reduce aircraft downtime, and help prevent inspection accidents. The objective of this ... -
Towards automatic selection of direct vs. iterative solvers for cloud-based finite element analysis
(Civil-Comp, 2015)The new trend in engineering is to solve complex computational problems in the cloud using high performance computing (HPC) services provided by different vendors. In this paper, we compare performances of direct vs. ... -
Towards balance recovery control for lower body exoskeleton robots with variable stiffness actuators: spring-loaded flywheel model
(IEEE, 2015)This paper presents a biologically-inspired real-time balance recovery control strategy that is applied to a lower body exoskeleton with variable physical stiffness actuators at its ankle joints. For this purpose, a torsional ... -
Towards crutch-free 3-D walking support with the lower body exoskeleton Co-Ex: Self-balancing squatting experiments
