Several studies have reported the design of kinematics parallel mechanisms based on behavioral features; however, the design of this kind of system with six degrees of freedom considering parallelly volumetric behavior together with control effort remains to be accomplished. This work addresses the design of one type of these mechanisms based on two aspects: workspace and control effort. All aspects are considering and optimizing simultaneously through a multiobjective optimization technique based on a bio-inspired algorithm named Elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Differential Evolution Algorithm, which brings about a Pareto front. The workspace is determined using the inverse kinematics constrained boundaries analysis and a mono-objective optimization method. On the other hand, control effort is resolved by calculating the Euclidian norm of each torque signal of the system, which is controlled by a hybrid technique consisting of sliding modes and differential flatness. Finally, relations between the two studied aspects are depicted and analyzed.

An experimental study was carried out to substantiate the simultaneous removal of excess moisture from two layers of wet leather semi-finished products. For the experiment, a multilayer package was compiled, consisting of two layers of wet leather semi-finished products and two layers of permeable cloth, laid between them. The selection of samples of semi-finished leather products for the experiment were selected from chromeplated bovine hide of medium weight, double. The excess moisture content from the wet leather semi-finished products was squeezed out by means of a vertical chain transmission on the base plate under pressure between the rotating shafts. The working shafts are covered with a permeable cloth. The experiment used the second-order Doptimal planning method. On the basis of the obtained experimental results, mathematical equations were obtained expressing the amount of moisture removed from the first and second layers of leather semi-finished products, depending on different feed rates and clamping forces of the working shafts. The main parameters of the technological process of two-layer processing of wet leather semi-finished products with their vertical feeding on the base plate between the shafts are experimentally substantiated. The parameters of the feed rate, the pressing force of the working shafts and the values of the residual moisture of the processed wet leather semi-finished products have been determined. In the future, the results obtained will serve to determine the maximum (permissible) number of layers of wet capillary-porous materials during their simultaneous processing, taking into account the provision of the necessary residual moisture in each of them.

Blades are the elements of a wind turbine which are the most vulnerable to destruction. Facing the unstable wind (one that changes its speed and direction), they are subjected to cyclic and fluctuating loads. This problem is particularly pronounced in case of small wind turbine (SWT) blades or blades for wind tunnel tests in scale, which are oftentimes made of anisotropic materials or manufactured in a way leading to anisotropy, like 3D-printing. SWT blades have to be designed in a way which will allow them to operate for a long time without any fracture. Hence, the fatigue strength is a key parameter, which determines their operation time and should be tested before putting a wind turbine into operation. The aim of this paper is to describe the methodology of fatigue tests of the small wind turbine blades. Next, the construction of the fatigue test stand and results of the experiment will be examined.

—Microparticles have the potentials to be used for many medical purposes in-side the human body such as drug delivery and other operations. This paper attempts to provide a thorough comparison between eight meta-heuristic search algorithms: Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA), Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA), Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA), Marine Predator Algorithm (MPA), Multi-Verse Optimizer (MVO) Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), Sine-Cosine Algorithm (SCA), and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). These approaches were used to calculate the PID controller optimal indicators with the application of different functions, including Integral Absolute Error (IAE), Integral of Time Multiplied by Square Error (ITSE), Integral Square Time multiplied square Error (ISTES), Integral Square Error (ISE), Integral of Square Time multiplied by square Error ( (ISTSE), and Integral of Time multiplied by Absolute Error (ITAE). Every method of controlling was presented in a MATLAB Simulink numerical model, and LABVIEW software was used to run the experimental tests. . It is observed that the GWO technique achieves the highest values of settling error for both simulation and experimental results among other control approaches, while the SSA approach reduces the settling error by 50% compared to former experiments. The results indicate that SSA is the best method among all approaches and that ISTES is the best choice of PID for optimizing the controlling parameters.

The goal of this paper is to propose an optimal positioning of robotic hand fingers, for a generic 3D object, to ensure stable grasping for an industrial pick and place process. The proposed strategy for optimal positioning based on genetic algorithms is presented. The grasping configuration is determined under several criteria that ensure the object stability. One criterion is based on Static Stability Margin (SSM) that takes into consideration the position of object center of mass in the polygon of support and a second criterion based on the Force Closure Grasping (FCG) taking into consideration the contact forces applied by the robotic hand fingertips. The optimal positioning algorithm results are presented to validate our proposal for a different kind of products.

This study investigates the variation in the NURBS shape caused by knot vectors produced by various algorithms to minimise the influence of knot vectors on the NURBS interpolation. The differences in shape variations of NURBS curves computed by knot vectors generated by the Hartley–Judd, Riesenfeld and Rogers algorithms are compared and analysed; an error function is defined to analyse the mathematical features of the differences caused by the three calculations and a weighted average calculation method beyond the classical algorithm is proposed. Additionally, the study introduces a combinatorial algorithm for optimising the computing process and increasing computing efficiency. The experimental results show that the new method produces a more accurate NURBS curve than the classical method does, making it more suitable for CNC interpolation.

— The aim of this LCA studies is to investigate the potential environmental impacts of arc welding technologies such as Metal Inert Gas (MIG), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) processes that follows the framework, principles, requirements, and guidelines given by the International Organisation for Standards (ISO). For a 1 m of welding activities, LCA studies have been carried out in accordance with cradle to gate system boundary employing the SimaPro LCA application tool and the ecoinvent version 3.6 database and applying the comprehensive life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) methodology IMPACT 2002+, version 2.14 that translates the input and output inventory data into the environmental impacts. From the evaluation of LCIA results, it has been demonstrated that the TIG welding process showed higher environmental impacts than the MIG welding process, in midpoint impact categories such as global warming potential, aquatic acidification, ozone layer depletion, and aquatic eutrophication. This mainly occurred due to the slower welding speed of the TIG welding process which results in higher shielding gas and electrical energy consumption. Endpoint damage categories such as human health, climate change, ecosystem quality, and resources have also been investigated for both welding processes. Finally, it is demonstrated from LCIA results that the overall environmental footprint of TIG welding process is about 1.3 times higher than that of MIG welding process. foremost independent research and technology organisations, with expertise in materials joining and engineering processes.

—Maze exploration is a field of science that continues to be researched and developed. Various algorithms, techniques, and scenarios result in faster trips and shortest distances. Various international competitions in the maze field are also held to encourage quicker and better labyrinth exploration innovations. Usually, maze exploration uses a mobile robot that moves autonomously in pathfinding to reach the target location. This study aims to generate and test a multi-agent algorithm to find the closest distance to reach a target in an unknown maze. So the question is how multi-agents can work together to reach the target using the shortest possible path. For this reason, a flood fill algorithm usually used for single-agent has been developed into an improved flood fill algorithm that can be applied to multi-agents. The result is an algorithm that can be applied to find targets through unknown maze exploration using multi-agent.
