An elastic rod in frictional contact with a rigid cylinder

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Paul Grandgeorge, Tomohiko Sano

We investigate the load transmission along an elastic rod of finite cross-section in contact with a rigid cylinder, as system often referred to as the generalized capstan problem. In the presence of friction, the idealized classic capstan equation predicts ...

Optical rotating torque sensor with nano newton-meter resolution based on a hanging torsion wire

Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Billy Nussbaumer

This article presents a novel torque measuring setup working in the nano newton-meter range. The central novelty is a long (1 meter range) thin (diameter of a few tens of micrometers) metallic wire used instead of the relatively stiff torsion zone of the s ...

Wearable exoskeletons to support ambulation in people with neuromuscular diseases, design rules and control

Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Neuromuscular diseases are degenerative and, thus far, incurable disorders that lead to large muscle wasting. They result in constant deterioration of activities of daily living and in particular of ambulation. Some common types include Duchenne muscular d ...

Phase-Shift Master-Slave Mechanisms for High Angular-Speed Wedge-Prism Systems

Reymond Clavel, Olivier Chappuis

Laser micro-machining requires high dynamic laser spot trajectory and accuracy to control the laser beam scanning. A well-known technique to scan a laser beam over a specimen is to use a pair of wedge-prisms. However, it is difficult to master-slave the ph ...

A Haptic Knob with a Hybrid Ultrasonic Motor and Powder Clutch Actuator

Hannes Bleuler, Roger Gassert, Etienne Burdet, Dominique Chapuis, Xavier Michel

In haptics, the forces to be displayed vary widely in terms of magnitude and bandwidth. A single actuator can hardly comply with these requirements. It has thus been proposed to combine electrical motors and passive devices in a hybrid actuator to cover a ...

Effect of filler behavior on nanocomposite SU8 photoresist for moving micro- parts

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Stefano Mischler, Sébastien Jiguet

The use of low-stress SU8 nanocomposites as a functional material for micro- parts and coating applications is described in this paper. It was found that the nanoparticles lower the internal stress and decrease the wear rate and frictional coefficient of t ...
