Precision positioning systems are fundamental components in industrial machines such as machine tools, measuring machines and semiconductor manufacturing systems. The performance of the machines depends on the positioning systems. For precise positioning are often used DC motors. The paper deals with experimental method of DC motor friction identification. The aim of the paper is determining of suitable way of DC motor friction modeling. At first the basic static friction models are introduced and linear mathematical model of DC motor is established. DC motor friction identification is by means of experimental method done using Newtonś mechanics. For experiment PITTMAN 9413 motor with encoder is used. For measuring of friction torque the measuring I/O card is used which cooperates with Matlab / Simulink by Real Time Toolbox. Then the mathematical model is simulated and compared with real model of DC motor. In the conclusion the effects of particular friction models affecting DC motor are described and the best way of friction modeling for DC motor is determined.
The subject of this paper is the analysis of contact stresses that occur between the teeth of a gear. The analysis was carried out by means of reflection photoelasticity, which is an experimental method rarely used in this field. Contact stresses assessed in the experiment are compared with values assessed through an analytical calculation while using the Airy stress function or Hertzian relations.
This paper is aimed at modelling a two-wheeled self-balancing robot driven by the geared DC motors. A mathematical model consists of two main parts, the model of robot's mechanical structure and the model of the actuator. Linearized equations of motion are derived and the overall model of the two-wheeled self-balancing robot is represented in state-space realization for the purpose of state feedback controller design.
The article deals with the issue of use of geometric mechanics tools in modelling nonholonomic systems. The introductory part of the article contains fiber bundle theory that we use at creating mathematical model of nonholonomic locomotion system with undulatory movement. Further the determination of general mathematical model for n-link snake-like robot is presented, where we used nonholonomic constraints. The relation between changes of shape and position variables was expressed using the local connection that was used to analyze and control system movement by vector fields. The effect of links number of snake-like robot on its mathematical model was investigated. The last part of this article consists of detailed description of modeling reconstruction equation for four-and five-link snake-like robot.
Emission is one of the key problems in the automotive industry, which engineers try to eliminate by lowering emissions to the minimum. Transmission emission plays an important part here. The basic characteristics of gears include their shape, load capacity, and emissions. The most significant source of noise and vibration in the gearbox is the step change in the meshing stiffness of the gearing, which depends on the path of meshing at the entry and exit of the meshed teeth. Ensuring a permanent multi-pair mesh is a way to mitigate these step changes as much as possible. This leads to the design and implementation of gears in an integer contact ratio. In addition to this, the article deals with the impact of individual parameters on the stiffness of the gearing, which is a source of noise and vibration. The meshing stiffness of the gearing was determined on the deformation basis of the gearing, as solved by the Finite Element Method.
This paper describes a problem related to a casting bridge crane with a combined load of 200/50/12.5 t and a span of 18.6 m, working in a heavy metallurgical operation. Due to the specific stress of the structure after its long-term operation, longitudinal fillet welds between the upper flange and the web of the main box beam on the rail side of the 200 t trolley were irreparably damaged. As a result, the cross-section of the main beam had opened, thereby substantially reducing its strength and stiffness. This resulted in a disproportionate increase and undesirable redistribution of stresses in the beam and, at the same time, an increase in the probability of acute fatigue or the loss of stability of the elastic beam shape. Therefore, the rectification of the damaged load-bearing structure was carried out by specific structural modifications. Critical load-bearing elements were subjected to complicated strength and fatigue life analyses before and after rectification. These analyses were supported by experimental measurements. The applied modifications resulted in a partial strengthening of the lifting device with the possibility of its further operation, but only in a limited mode, with a limited period of operation with a time limit of 2 years and a reduced total load capacity of 150 t. The applied methods are also applicable for the fatigue analysis of load-bearing elements and equipment for bridge, gantry and tower cranes, crane tracks, road and railway bridges and support structures under machinery and other devices with a dominant transverse and rotating effect.
