Book Synopsis Design, Modeling and Experiments of 3-DOF Electromagnetic Spherical Actuators by : Liang Yan
Download or read book Design, Modeling and Experiments of 3-DOF Electromagnetic Spherical Actuators written by Liang Yan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spherical actuator is a novel electric device that can achieve 2/3-DOF rotational motions in a single joint with electric power input. It has advantages such as compact structure, low mass/moment of inertia, fast response and non-singularities within the workspace. It has promising applications in robotics, automobile, manufacturing, medicine and aerospace industry. This is the first monograph that introduces the research on spherical actuators systematically. It broadens the scope of actuators from conventional single-axis to multi-axis, which will help both beginners and researchers to enhance their knowledge on electromagnetic actuators. Generic analytic modeling methods for magnetic field and torque output are developed, which can be applied to the development of other electromagnetic actuators. A parametric design methodology that allows fast analysis and design of spherical actuators for various applications is proposed. A novel non-contact high-precision 3-DOF spherical motion sensing methodology is developed and evaluated with experiments, which shows that it can achieve one order of magnitude higher precision than conventional methods. The technologies of nondimensionalization and normalization are introduced into magnetic field analysis the first time, and a benchmark database is established for the reference of other researches on spherical actuators.

Book Synopsis Data-Driven Modeling Using Spherical Self-Organizing Feature Maps by : Archana Sangole
Download or read book Data-Driven Modeling Using Spherical Self-Organizing Feature Maps written by Archana Sangole and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2006-04-28 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers and data analysts are increasingly relying on graphical tools to assist them in modeling their data, generating their hypotheses, and gaining deeper insights on their experimentally acquired data. Recent advances in technology have made available more improved and novel modeling and analysis media that facilitate intuitive, task-driven exploratory analysis and manipulation of the displayed graphical representations. In order to utilize these emerging technologies researchers must be able to transform experimentally acquired data vectors into a visual form or secondary representation that has a simple structure and, is easily transferable into the media. As well, it is essential that it can be modified or manipulated within the display environment. This thesis presents a data-driven modeling technique that utilizes the basic learning strategy of an unsupervised clustering algorithm, called the self-organizing feature map, to adaptively learn topological associations inherent in the data and preserve them within the topology imposed by its predefined spherical lattice, thereby transforming the data into a 3D tessellated form. The tessellated graphical forms originate from a sphere thereby simplifying the process of computing its transformation parameters on re-orientation within an interactive, task-driven, graphical display medium. A variety of data sets including six sets of scattered 3D coordinate data, chaotic attractor data, the more commonly used Fisher s Iris flower data, medical numeric data, geographic and environmental data are used to illustrate the data-driven modeling and visualization mechanism. The modeling algorithm is first applied to scattered 3D coordinate data to understand the influence of the spherical topology on data organization. Two cases are examined, one in which the integrity of the spherical lattice is maintained during learning and, the second, in which the inter-node connections in the spherical lattice are adaptively changed during learning. In the analysis, scattered coordinate data of freeform objects with topology equivalent to a sphere and those whose topology is not equivalent to a sphere are used. Experiments demonstrate that it is possible to get reasonably good results with the degree of resemblance, determined by an average of the total normalized error measure, ranging from 6.2x10-5 1.1x10-3. The experimental analysis using scattered coordinate data facilitates an understanding of the algorithm and provides evidence of the topology-preserving capability of the spherical self-organizing feature map. The algorithm is later implemented using abstract, seemingly random, numeric data. Unlike in the case of 3D coordinate data, wherein the SOFM lattice is in the same coordinate frame (domain) as the input vectors, the numeric data is abstract. The criterion for deforming the spherical lattice is determined using mathematical and statistical functions as measures-of information that are tailored to reflect some aspect of meaningful, tangible, inter-vector relationships or associations embedded in the spatial data that reveal some physical aspect of the data. These measures are largely application-dependent and need to be defined by the data analyst or an expert. Interpretation of the resulting 3D tessellated graphical representation or form (glyph) is more complex and task dependent as compared to that of scattered coordinate data. Very simple measures are used in this analysis in order to facilitate discussion of the underlying mechanism to transform abstract numeric data into 3D graphical forms or glyphs. Several data sets are used in the analysis to illustrate how novel characteristics hidden in the data, and not easily apparent in the string of numbers, can be reflected via 3D graphical forms. The proposed data-driven modeling approach provides a viable mechanism to generate 3D tessellated representations of data that can be easily transferred to a graphical modeling and ana

This book was released on 1974 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nemo Model 2000 acrylic plastic pressure hull assembly is described and represents the latest addition to the Nemo hull series represented by Nemo Model 600 and 1000 hull assemblies. The 66 inch OD x 58 inch ID spherical acrylic hull with aluminum hatches has successfully withstood 24 hour long external hydrostatic pressurizations to 450, 900, 1340 and 1800 psi. Pressure cycling and short term destructive testing of 15 inch OD x 13 inch ID scale models has shown that the crackfree fatigue life is in excess of 1000 pressure cycles at depths to 3000 feet and the short term implosion pressure is in the range of 10,000 to 11,000 feet. Stress wave emissions have been found to be a good indicator of incipient failure.
Book Synopsis Exploring the Psychology of Interest by : Paul J. Silvia
Download or read book Exploring the Psychology of Interest written by Paul J. Silvia and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychologists have always been interested in interest, and so modern research on interest can be found in nearly every area of the field: Researchers studying emotions, cognition, development, education, aesthetics, personality, motivation, and vocations have developed intriguing ideas about what interest is and how it works. Exploring the Psychology of Interest presents an integrated picture of how interest has been studied in all the wide-ranging areas of psychology. Using modern theories of cognition and emotion as an integrative framework, Paul Silvia examines the nature of interest, what makes things interesting, the role of interest in personality, and the development of peoples idiosyncratic interests, hobbies, and avocations. His examination reveals deep similarities between seemingly different fields of psychology and illustrates the profound importance of interest, curiosity, and intrinsic motivation for understanding why people do what they do. The most comprehensive work of its kind, Exploring the Psychology of Interest will be a valuable resource for student and professional researchers in cognitive, social, and developmental psychology.

Download or read book The Theory of Magnetism II written by Daniel C. Mattis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is thermodynamics? What does statistical physics teach us? In the pages of this slim book, we confront the answers. The reader will discover that where thermodynami cs provi des a 1 arge scal e, macroscopi c theory of the ef fects of temperature on physical systems, statistical mechanics provides the microscopic analysis of these effects which, invariably, are the results of thermal disorder. A number of systems in nature undergo dramatic changes in aspect and in their properties when subjected to changes in ambient temperature or pres sure, or when electric or magnetic fields are applied. The ancients already knew that a liquid, a solid, or a gas can represent different states of the same matter. But what is meant by "state"? It is here that the systematic study of magnetic materials has provided one of the best ways of examining this question, which is one of the principal concerns of statistical physics (alias "statistical mechanics") and of modern thermodynamics.

Book Synopsis Permanent Magnet Spherical Motors by : Kun Bai
Download or read book Permanent Magnet Spherical Motors written by Kun Bai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces and illustrates modeling, sensing, and control methods for analyzing, designing, and developing spherical motors. It systematically presents models for establishing the relationships among the magnetic fields, position/orientation and force/torque, while also providing time-efficient solutions to assist researchers and engineers in studying and developing these motors. In order to take full advantage of spherical motors’ compact structure in practical applications, sensing and control methods that utilize their magnetic fields and eliminate the need to install external sensors for feedback are proposed. Further, the book investigates for the first time spherical motors’ force/torque manipulation capability, and proposes algorithms enabling the ball-joint-like end-effector for haptic use based on these motors’ hybrid position/force actuation modes. While systematically presenting approaches to their design, sensing and control, the book also provides many examples illustrating the implementation issues readers may encounter.

Book Synopsis Mineral Resource Estimation by : Mario E. Rossi
Download or read book Mineral Resource Estimation written by Mario E. Rossi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-21 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mineral resource estimation has changed considerably in the past 25 years: geostatistical techniques have become commonplace and continue to evolve; computational horsepower has revolutionized all facets of numerical modeling; mining and processing operations are often larger; and uncertainty quantification is becoming standard practice. Recent books focus on historical methods or details of geostatistical theory. So there is a growing need to collect and synthesize the practice of modern mineral resource estimation into a book for undergraduate students, beginning graduate students, and young geologists and engineers. It is especially fruitful that this book is written by authors with years of relevant experience performing mineral resource estimation and with years of relevant teaching experience. This comprehensive textbook and reference fills this need.
