Comprehensive kinetostatic modeling and morphology characterization of cable-driven continuum robots

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2023, Volume 18, Issue 3, doi: 10.1007/s11465-023-0756-0

Abstract: In-situ maintenance is of great significance for improving the efficiency and ensuring the safety of aero-engines. The cable-driven continuum robot (CDCR) with twin-pivot compliant mechanisms, which is enabled with flexible deformation capability and confined space accessibility, has emerged as a novel tool that aims to promote the development of intelligence and efficiency for in-situ aero-engine maintenance. The high-fidelity model that describes the kinematic and morphology of CDCR lays the foundation for the accurate operation and control for in-situ maintenance. However, this model was not well addressed in previous literature. In this study, a general kinetostatic modeling and morphology characterization methodology that comprehensively contains the effects of cable-hole friction, gravity, and payloads is proposed for the CDCR with twin-pivot compliant mechanisms. First, a novel cable-hole friction model with the variable friction coefficient and adaptive friction direction criterion is proposed through structure optimization and kinematic parameter analysis. Second, the cable-hole friction, all-component gravities, deflection-induced center-of-gravity shift of compliant joints, and payloads are all considered to deduce a comprehensive kinetostatic model enabled with the capacity of accurate morphology characterization for CDCR. Finally, a compact continuum robot system is integrated to experimentally validate the proposed kinetostatic model and the concept of in-situ aero-engine maintenance. Results indicate that the proposed model precisely predicts the morphology of CDCR and outperforms conventional models. The compact continuum robot system could be considered a novel solution to perform in-situ maintenance tasks of aero-engines in an invasive manner.

Interactive effects of high-speed rail on nodal zones in a city: exploratory study on China

Guo LIU, Kunhui YE

Frontiers of Engineering Management 2019, Volume 6, Issue 3,   Pages 327-335 doi: 10.1007/s42524-019-0051-2

Abstract: The arrival of the high-speed rail (HSR) era has accelerated the pace of urban development, but its broad socioeconomic impact remains subject to intense debates. This research aims to propose a model for measuring the impact of HSR operation on HSR stations and the surrounding areas, which this research call the HSR-based nodal zone (HNZ). The proposed model is composed of two variables (i.e., transportation situation and vitality) and three subsystems (i.e., economic, societal, and environmental). Data were collected in China through questionnaire survey. Results indicate that the effects of HSR operation on HNZ are multidimensional, transportation vitality has an intermediary role in the effects, and the effects on the physical environment are negative. This study presents an early examination of the impact of HSR operation on the HSR stations and relevant areas and contributes new evidence to academic debates on the contribution of HSR to urban development. Accordingly, urban development policies should be built on the mechanism of HSR in driving the growth of HNZ.

Visual interactive image clustering: a target-independent approach for configuration optimization in Research Article

Lvhan PAN, Guodao SUN, Baofeng CHANG, Wang XIA, Qi JIANG, Jingwei TANG, Ronghua LIANG

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2023, Volume 24, Issue 3,   Pages 355-372 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.2200547

Abstract: (MVM) is an essential approach that measures the area or length of a target efficiently and non-destructively for product quality control. The result of MVM is determined by its configuration, especially the in image acquisition and the algorithmic in image processing. In a traditional workflow, engineers constantly adjust and verify the configuration for an acceptable result, which is time-consuming and significantly depends on expertise. To address these challenges, we propose a target-independent approach, , which facilitates configuration optimization by grouping images into different clusters to suggest lighting schemes with common parameters. Our approach has four steps: data preparation, data sampling, data processing, and visual analysis with our visualization system. During preparation, engineers design several candidate lighting schemes to acquire images and develop an algorithm to process images. Our approach samples engineer-defined parameters for each image and obtains results by executing the algorithm. The core of data processing is the explainable measurement of the relationships among images using the algorithmic parameters. Based on the image relationships, we develop VMExplorer, a visual analytics system that assists engineers in grouping images into clusters and exploring parameters. Finally, engineers can determine an appropriate lighting scheme with robust parameter combinations. To demonstrate the effectiveness and usability of our approach, we conduct a case study with engineers and obtain feedback from expert interviews.
