Acoustic emission techniques for the detection of simulated failures in historical vehicles engines

Technical and industrial heritage artefacts are characterized by the presence of mechanisms. The possibility to activate, or reactivate, these mechanisms is an integral part of the cultural values of this kind of patrimony. The artefacts' functionality, ho ...

Design of Compact Bearingless Disc Drive Systems

Yves Perriard, Douglas Martins Araujo, Juan Patricio Tomás Peralta Fierro

Inflating costs and emerging applications are spawning interests toward smaller and faster electric drives. The challenges of miniaturization make magnetic bearings more appealing, as they provide intrinsic high-speed capability and need virtually zero-mai ...

Exoskeletons as Mechatronic Design Example

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Solaiman Shokur, Jeremy Olivier, Amalric Louis Ortlieb, Jemina Fasola, Tristan Hubert Vouga, Romain Pierre François Baud

Exoskeletons are a perfect example of a mechatronics product. They illustrate the close integration and interdependence of mechanical design, drive train, sensors, control strategy and user interface. Recent developments of our lab will be discussed in det ...

Performance enhancement of downwind sails due to leading edge flapping: A wind tunnel investigation

Julien Dominique Claude Deparday

This work presents a wind tunnel experimental study on the effect of the leading edge flapping on the aerodynamic performance of a spinnaker. Four J80-class spinnaker models, combining two different assembling structures (panel layout) and two different sa ...

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 ...

Decoding the mechanisms of gait generation in salamanders by combining neurobiology, modeling and robotics

Auke Ijspeert, Andrej Bicanski

Vertebrate animals exhibit impressive locomotor skills. These locomotor skills are due to the complex interactions between the environment, the musculo-skeletal system and the central nervous system, in particular the spinal locomotor circuits. We are inte ...

A dual-axis pointing mirror with moving-magnet actuation

Nico de Rooij, Caglar Ataman, Wilfried Noell, Sébastien Lani

A large-aperture and large-angle MEMS-based 2D pointing mirror is presented. The device is electromagnetically actuated by a moving-magnet/stationary-coil pair and potentially suited for high power laser beam shaping and beam pointing applications, such as ...
