The error mapping model is derived from original error to the error of the platform by using matrix differential method. This model contains all geometric original errors of the robot. The nonlinear implicit function relation between po- sition and orientation error of the platform and the original geometric errors is simplified as a linear explicit function rela- tion. The results provide a basis for further studying error analysis and error compensation.展开更多

The main goal of this article is to introduce the paranormed sequence spaces L∞（B,p）, c（B,p）, and co（B,p）, which are more general and comprehensive than the corresponding consequences of the matrix domain of B（r, s）, as well as other studies in literature. Besides this, the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-duals of the spaces L∞ （B, p）, c（B, p）, and co （B, p） are computed and the bases of the spaces c（B, p） and co （B, p） are constructed. The final section of this article is devoted to the characterization of the classes （λ（B, p）： μ） and （μ：λ（B, p））, where λ ∈ {c, co, L∞ } and μ is any given sequence space. Additionally, the characterization of some other classes which are related to the space of Mmost convergent sequences is obtained by means of a given lemma.展开更多

Firstly, the fundamental vibration mode was applied to wavelet analysis. The crack location was found by the peaks of the wavelet coefficients. Secondly, based on the identified crack locations, a simple transform matrix method requiring only the first two tested natural frequencies was used to further identify the crack depth. The present method can be used for crack identification in a complex structure. Numerical results of crack identification of a stepped cantilever beam show that the suggested method is feasible.展开更多

Therein, a generalized transformation matrix for loads with respect to the shear centre is derived, this accounting for the bimoments that develop due to the way the combined loads are applied. This and the authors’ earlier paper (World Journal of Mechanics 2021, 11, 205-236) provide a full solution to the theory of thin-walled, open-section structures bearing combined loading. The earlier work identified arbitrary loading with the section’s area properties that are necessary to axial and shear stress calculations within the structure’s thin walls. In the previous paper attention is paid to the relevant axes of loading and to the transformations of loading required between axes for stress calculations arising from tension/compression, bending, torsion and shear. The derivation of the general transformation matrix applies to all types of loadings including, axial tensile and compression forces, transverse shear, longitudinal bending. One application, representing all these load cases, is given of a simple channel cantilever with an eccentrically located end load.展开更多

In our paper, we add a new supplementary aspect to their research by characterizing classes of compact operators on those spaces. For that purpose, the spaces are treated as the matrix domains of a triangle in the classical sequence spaces c 0 , c and ∞ . The main tool for our characterizations is the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness.展开更多

Up to now researchers just only solved the cases with free boundary or null resistor boundary. This paper gives the general formulae of the resistance between any two nodes in both tinite and infinite cases using a method of direct summation pioneered by Tan [Z. Z. Tan, et al., J. Phys. A 46 （2013） 195202], which is simpler and can be easier to use in practice. This method contrasts the Green＇s function technique and the Laplacian matrix approach, which is difllcult to apply to the geometry of a cobweb with a 2r boundary. We deduce several interesting results according to our genera/formula. In the end we compare and illuminate our formulae with two examples. Our analysis gives the result directly as a single summation, and the result is mainly composed of the characteristic roots.展开更多

Different configurations of metamorphic mechanism aredescribed through the method of Huston lower body arrays. Kinematics analyses for metamorphicmechanism with generalized topological structure, including the velocity, angular velocity,acceleration and angular acceleration, are given. Dynamic equations for an arbitrary configuration,including close-loop constraints, are formed by using Kane's equations. For an arbitrary metamorphicmechanism, the transformation matrix of generalized speeds between configuration zeta and zeta+1 isobtained for the first time. Furthermore, configuration-complete dynamic modeling of metamorphicmechanism including all configurations is completely established.展开更多
