Machine parts with non-conformal contact surfaces frequently operate in elastohydrodynamic or mixed regime of lubrication. In surroundings of asperities significant chang [...]

Spray cooling is an integral part of many manufacturing processes. This paper describes the cooling qualities of some coolants different from water. Emulsions, mineral lu [...]

The point of contribution consists in the analysis of linear and nonlinear damping influence on the dynamic properties of the specific case of pseudoplanetary system with [...]

Abstrakt: The control of motion a robot manipulator gripper and a mobile (locomotion) robot behaviour requires the solution of the direct and inverse kinematics and dynam [...]

In this contribution, we present and mutually compare three approaches to the analysis of finite heterogeneous elastic bodies with a random arrangement of individual phas [...]

The pan and tilt devices (P&TD) are often used for placement of camera and antenna systems which must track moving objects (targets) precisely and speedily in many ap [...]

Abstrakt: Two relatively independent areas of the gearing science have been distinctively outlined and considerably progressed in the last decade. The "Theory of gearing" [...]

Motion planning is essential for mobile robot successful navigation. There are many algorithms for motion planning under various constraints. However, in some cases the h [...]

The aim of the paper is to propose an integration of a genetic algorithm and case-based reasoning in robot motion planning in a partially known dynamic environment. The g [...]

This paper deals with the probabilistic model of wheel robot motion. Such probabilistic model is often used in navigation algorithms for prediction of the real position o [...]
