The kinematic problem of Cable Driven Parallel Robots is not like that of other conventional robots due to the transmission mechanisms are the cables that can only exert the pulling force on the moving frame because the cable cannot be used to push. Therefore, the robot can only perform the task if the tensions in all cables are positive. The calculation of the kinematics and control for these types of robots as well as calculating the tension distribution to ensure the equilibrium for the moving frame at the nodes have to be done simultaneously. This paper described analysis and experiments of a planar cable driven parallel robot, in which, the inverse kinematics of the robot is solved based on a cable tension distribution model with a quadratic cost function, the values of tensions of cables are preferred to follow the mean value of the cable tension limit. A force feedback controller is also designed to control the robot based on calculated data, then the experimental results are analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of this model.

— 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.

—The paper aims to study the thermal stresses on an exhaust valve body with and without using the Thermal Barrier Coating technique (TBC) in the valve face region. A 2-dimensional model is created for the numerical analysis. The work is carried out with the aid of the ANSYS- APDL package. The procedure of the numerical analysis is divided into two processes. The first process is the thermal analysis to obtain the temperature values, which are set up as thermal loads for the structural analysis in the second process. The coating of the valve is carried out through three steps of analysis by selecting a single layer of TBC, a double layer of TBC, and a triple layer of TBC. Three types of TBC materials are taken in this work, which are SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and ZrO 2 . The location of TBC type for the double and triple cases is taken into consideration, in the steps of analysis of double and triple design of exhaust vale coating is done by changing of the material type of TBC which it is on the upper or lower concerning the valve face. The results showed that using the SiO 2 material as a TBC in the case of single, double, and triple coating of the exhaust valve face gives a low value of thermal deformations and thermal stresses. The stresses in steel alloy in cases without and with TBCs as compared to titanium valve showed a good reduction in thermal stresses for the titanium aluminide exhaust valve.

—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.

— In the present work, single-spouted fluidized bed with non-spherical particle geometries was studied using Computational Fluid Dynamics–Discrete Element Modeling (CFD-DEM) coupling technique. CFD-DEM is an effective tool for modeling multi-phase flows in industrial applications such as fluidized bed reactors, spouted bed etc. Most DEM force-displacement models are based on particles with spherical geometry while many particles encountered in nature of non-spherical geometry. Three different shapes: Cylinder, Square and Hexagon were considered and the results are matched with the circular shaped particles. Multi-sphere method is used to model the force-displacement behavior. Open source software LIGGGHTS-DEM and OpenFOAM were used to perform the simulations. It was observed that the complex interactions of the multi-sphere particles give rise to greater instability in the fluidizing bed, as seen in strong fluctuations in particle properties. Also, these particles exhibited a tendency to agglomerate, thereby offering stronger resistance to shearing flows. As per the findings, it was concluded that the particle geometry has a significant influence on the performance of the fluidizing bed; failure to accurately represent an actual particle would result in erroneous results.

The paper considers the solute transport in a heterogeneous porous medium consisting of well-permeable and poorly permeable zones, taking into account nonequilibrium adsorption in the zones. In a well-permeable zone, there are two areas, in each of which there is an adsorption of a substance with reversible nonequilibrium kinetics. The exchange of solute with the second zone is modeled by the source term in the form of a fractional time derivative of the concentration of the substance in the first zone. The numerical implementation of the model is carried out and the effect of mass transfer to the second zone on the characteristics of the solute transport in the first zone is estimated. Nonlinear kinetics of particle deposition in both sections of the first zone is considered. It is shown that, within the framework of the assumptions made, the nonlinearity of the kinetics at unchanged values of the remaining parameters of the model leads to an intensification of particle deposition. As a consequence of this, the spread of solute in the mobile zone slows down.

—Navigation is an essential problem for self-propelled robots, in which the orbital control system plays a decisive role in the robot's behavior and navigating the robot to move in space. This paper presents the tutorial approach for the design and construction of the Nonlinear Model Predictive Control controller for the four-wheeled Omni robot in the orbital tracking problem. The designed controller is implemented in the navigation stack system for the robot to follow the specified trajectory smoothly and avoid collision with surrounding obstacles simultaneously. The results are presented in both theory and simulation cases owing to the ROS platform to illustrate the validity and effectiveness of the method for the trajectory tracking problem combined with the navigation stack system. Besides the advantage of the designed navigation stack is also demonstrated through comparison with the TEB planner.

This paper investigates the influence of phase angle of the Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) on the hydrodynamics performance of the propulsion system including the propeller, shaft, and PBCF by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) method. The rotating reference frame approach was used to simulate propeller rotation. First, the well-known Potsdam Propeller in model scale was used as an initial propeller to verify and validate the propeller performance results obtained by CFD method with experimental data and then investigate the influence of phase angle on the performance of propeller. The best phase angle for PBCF is shown and the recommendations for choosing phase angle with respect to increase propeller performance are given. The commercial solver Star CCM+ is used to solve the flow around the PBCF and the propeller.

— This paper presents the modeling and Model Predictive Controller (MPC) design for an omni-directional robot during a single actuator failure. A fault estimation method is used to identify the actuator failure, and thereby, the kinematic model of the mobile robot is reformulated to account for the fault. The controllability of the modified model during a single actuator failure is verified using Lie algebra. Finally, in the event of unforeseen combinations of single actuator failures, a Nonlinear MPC is designed for trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance. Simulation results are used to demonstrate the robustness of the system to actuator failure.
