Abstract:

The changes in shapes of fiber-reinforced composite beams, plates and shells affected by embedded piezoelectric actuators were investigated. An analytical method was developed to determine the voltages needed to achieve a specified desired shape. The method is formulated on the basis of mathematical models using two-dimensional, linear, shallow shell theory including transverse shear effects which are important in the case of sandwich construction. The solution technique is a minimization of an error function which is a measure of the difference between the deformed shape caused by the application of voltages and the desired shape. A computationally efficient, user-friendly computer code was written which is suitable for performing the numerical calculations. The code, designated as SHAPE2, gives the voltages needed to achieve specified changes in shape. To validate the method and the computer code, results generated by the code were compared to existing analytical and experimental results. The predictions provided by the SHAPE2 code were in excellent agreement with the results of the other analyses and data.

Abstract:

This article introduces a novel method for the implementation of shape optimisation with Lipschitz domains. We propose to use the shape derivative to determine deformation fields which represent steepest descent directions of the shape functional in the W1,∞-topology. The idea of our approach is demonstrated for shape optimisation of n-dimensional star-shaped domains, which we represent as functions defined on the unit (n − 1)-sphere. In this setting we provide the specific form of the shape derivative and prove the existence of solutions to the underlying shape optimisation problem. Moreover, we show the existence of a direction of steepest descent in the W1,∞− topology. We also note that shape optimisation in this context is closely related to the ∞−Laplacian, and to optimal transport, where we highlight the latter in the numerics section. We present several numerical experiments in two dimensions illustrating that our approach seems to be superior over a widely used Hilbert space method in the considered examples, in particular in developing optimised shapes with corners.

Abstract:

In this paper, we describe a new type of humanoid robot designed for made-to-measure garment industry — a shape-changing robotic mannequin. This mannequin is designed to imitate body shapes of different people. The main emphasis of this paper is on modeling and shape-optimization algorithm used to adjust mannequins shape to resemble the shape of any given person. We represent the whole procedure of adjusting the mannequin to the body shapes of real people. Finally, we provide the estimate of the mannequin's model precision and suitability of the proposed solutions for made-to-measure tailoring application. The results show that the mannequin and the optimization methods are sufficiently precise for the requirements in tailoring industry.

Abstract:

This paper proposes a new topology optimization formulation for obtaining shape memory alloy actuators which are designed with prescribed two-way transforming shapes. The actuation behaviors of shape memory alloy structures are governed by austenite-martensite phase transformations effected by thermal-mechanical loading processes; therefore, to realize the precise geometric shape variations of shape memory alloy actuators, traditional methods involve iteration processes including heuristic structural design, numerical predictions and experimental validation. Although advanced structural optimization methods such as topology optimization have been used to design three-dimensional (3D) shape memory alloy actuators, the maximization/minimization of quantities such as structural compliance or inaccurate stroke distances has usually been selected as the optimization objective to obtain feasible solutions. To bridge the gap between precise shape-morphing requirements and efficient shape memory alloy actuator designs, this paper formulates optimization criteria with quantitatively desired geometric shapes, and investigates the automatic designs of two-way prescribed shape morphing shape memory alloy structures based on the proposed topology optimization method. The super element method and adjoint method are used to derive the analytical sensitivities of the objective functions with respect to the design variables. Numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain 3D actuator designs that have the desired two-way transforming shapes.

Abstract:

A snake robot can form various shapes by fitting to an arbitrary continuous curve thanks to its numerous degrees of freedom. When traversing an unknown complex environment, a snake robot may need to perform local shape transformation to avoid obstacles or perform specific tasks. In this study, we present a local shape transformation control method for expanding the mobility of a snake robot. The proposed control method lifts a local part of the robot away from the target continuous curve while the leading part and the trailing part shift accordingly to remain fitted to the continuous curve without twisting. The proposed local shape transformation is realized by changing the approximation range on the continuous curve without changing the shape of the continuous curve. Simulations were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the local hump-shaped transformation control on various types of continuous curves. We also evaluated the proposed control method by comparing it with other local shape transformation control methods through simulations. Additionally, we propose two examples of applications which are the recovery from a stuck state and recovery from joint failure. Experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Full text

Abstract:

A laminar flow micro fuel cell comprising of bridge-shaped microchannel is investigated to find out the effects of the cross-section shape of the microchannel on the performance. A parametric study is performed by varying the heights and widths of the channel and bridge shape. Nine different microchannel cross-section shapes are evaluated to find effective microchannel cross-sections by combining three bridge shapes with three channel shapes. A three-dimensional fully coupled numerical model is used to calculate the fuel cell’s performance. Navier-Stokes, convection and diffusion, and Butler-Volmer equations are implemented using the numerical model. A narrow channel with a wide bridge shape shows the best performance among the tested nine cross-sectional shapes, which is increased by about 78% compared to the square channel with the square bridge shape.

Abstract:

This article proposes a deformable water-mobile robot that can be used for rescue work. The robot body adopts an open-motion chain structure with two degrees of freedom, including two drive modules and one main control module. The three modules are connected through deformation joints, and each drive module is equipped with an underwater thruster. The robot can obtain a triangle, linear shape, curved shape, and U-shape through deformation and have three types of motion: linear shape motion, U-shaped motion, and curved shape motion. In the linear shape, a multi-island genetic algorithm was used to optimize the structural parameters with the minimum resistance and the maximum volume. Floating state analysis was conducted in the U-shape, and the structural parameters were reasonably designed. By experimenting with the robot prototype on water, the robot can achieve oscillating, linear, U-shaped, and horizontal rotary motion, has an automatic adjustment function, and effective buoyancy meets the required requirements.

Full text

Abstract:

The control of deformable linear objects (DLOs) such as cables presents a significant challenge for robotic systems due to their unpredictable behavior during manipulation. This paper introduces a novel approach for cable shape control using dual robotic arms on a two–dimensional plane. A discrete point model is utilized for the cable, and a path generation algorithm is developed to define intermediate cable shapes, facilitating the transformation of the cable into the desired profile through a formulated optimization problem. The problem aims to minimize the discrepancy between the cable configuration and the targeted shape to ensure an accurate and stable deformation process. Moreover, a cable dynamic model is developed in which the manipulation approach is validated using this model. Additionally, the approach is tested in a simulation environment in which a framework of two manipulators grasps a cable. The results demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method, offering a promising direction for robotic manipulation of cables.

Abstract:

The precise control of geometric models plays an important role in many domains such as computer-aided geometric design and numerical simulation. For shape optimization in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the choice of control parameters and the way to deform a shape are critical. In this article, we describe a skeleton-based representation of shapes adapted for CFD simulation and automatic shape optimization. Instead of using the control points of a classic B-spline representation, we control the geometry in terms of architectural parameters. We assure valid shapes with a strong shape consistency control. Deformations of the geometry are performed by solving optimization problems on the skeleton. Finally, a surface reconstruction method is proposed to evaluate the shape's performances with CFD solvers. We illustrate the approach on two problems: the foil of an AC45 racing sail boat and the bulbous bow of a fishing trawler. For each case, we obtained a set of shape deformations and then we evaluated and analyzed the performances of the different shapes with CFD computations.

Full text

Abstract:

The intercondylar notch (IN) can differ in morphology and size, influencing the contained ligaments. For a better understanding of the influence of the IN’s anatomy on knee pathologies, a classification of different shapes was proposed. However, a detailed evaluation of the reliability of these classifications is lacking thus far. In coronal knee MRIs of 330 patients, the IN width was measured and three shapes were calculated to generate objective control results. Notch shapes were classified by two blinded investigators, first without and then with visual assistance to guide the shape classification. The distribution of the three different shapes was as follows: A-shape: n = 43, 13.0%; inverse U-shape: n = 100, 30.3%; Ω-shape: n = 183, 56.7%. The semi-quantitative evaluation distribution was as follows: A-shape: n = 44, 13.3%; inverse U-shape: n = 37, 11.2%; Ω-shape: n = 249, 75%; there was fair (κ = 0.35) agreement compared to that of the control results. The assisted semi-quantitative evaluation distribution was as follows: A-shape: n = 44, 13.3%; inverse U-shape: 103, 31.2%; Ω-shape: n = 183, 55.3%; there was very good (κ = 0.92) agreement compared to that of the control results. In the shape evaluation of the IN, rigid guidelines and visual assistance must be used to ensure reliability. The utilization of visual assistance led to higher inter- and intra-rater agreements in the semi-quantitatively evaluation of the IN shape when compared to those in the classification without visual assistance.

Abstract:

Free-form concrete panel production requires an increasing amount of manpower because the molds cannot be reused. There are many limitations when it comes to reproducing accurate forms due to the many manual processes. Therefore, the current study developed side mold control equipment that can automatically fabricate molds for free-form concrete panels. The equipment is capable of molding various shapes and sustainable operation. However, there may be errors as it automatically produces various shapes. Therefore, it is necessary to check the errors between manufactured shapes and designed shapes. The shape created using the side mold control equipment showed less than 0.1° error in side angle and ±3 mm error in side length. Therefore, the equipment manufactured a precise shape. Based on the findings of the study, the side mold control equipment will be used to produce accurate shape of free-form concrete panels automatically.

Abstract:

Tetrapod-shape ZnO nanostructures are formed on Si substrates by vapor phase transportation method. The effects of two important growth parameters, growth temperature and VI/II ratio, are investigated. The growth temperature is varied in the range from 600 °C to 900 °C to control the vapor pressure of group II-element and the formation process of nanostructures. VI/II ratio was changed by adjusting the flux of carrier gas which affects indirectly the supplying rate of group VI-element. From the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), systematic variation of shape including cluster, rod, wire and tetrapod was observed. ZnO tetrapods, formed at 800 °C under the carrier gas flux of 0.5 cc/mm2 min, show considerably uniform shape with 100 nm thick and 1 ∼ 1.5 μm long legs. Also stoichiometric composition (O/Zn ∼ 1) was observed without any second phase structures. While, the decrease of growth temperature and the increase of carrier gas flux, results in the irregular shaped nanostructures with non-stoichiometric composition. The excellent luminescence properties, strong excitonic UV emission at 3.25 eV without deep level emission, indicate that the high crystalline quality tetrapod structures can be formed at the optimized growth conditions.

Abstract:

Verification of programming of various control systems and production of mathematically defined shaped surfaces on 3D CNC milling machine is a challenging technological process. Appropriate design and optimization of tool path is essential for the production of high-quality surfaces with the required accuracy and roughness. This paper presents the design of shaped surfaces in various programming means in order to evaluate both the accuracy of the shape manufactured by the production machine and also by program created shapes for control systems of 3D milling machines. Based on the analysis of mathematically defined shaped surfaces to evaluate both accuracy of shape of 3D milling machine and also applied programs for the programming of the selected control system the shaped surface "Interface" was chosen. The advantage of mathematically described surface is a better way to evaluate the accuracy compare to surface modeled e.g. by Bezier ́s curves. Mathematically described surfaces enable us to optimize their shapes by available mathematical functions. Typical example the derivatives are, which make it possible to search extremes. Verification of the shaped surfaces accuracy according to created control programs was solved using the 3D Carl-Zeiss coordinate system and also HOLOS software. Verified programs for the NC machine programming were in CATIA V5, Pro/Engineer and EqCAM. The result is an optimally designed original EqCAM program for 3D CNC milling machine programming, which generates optimal NC codes and bypasses various built-in interpolations, and by precise control at every step it is possible to achieve maximum accuracy and quality of machined surface for each 3D CNC milling machine.

Abstract:

Objectives It has been hypothesized that patellofemoral pain, a common knee condition in adolescents and young adults, may be a precursor of degenerative joint changes and may ultimately lead to patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Since both conditions share several mechanical disease characteristics, such as altered contact area between the femur and patella and increased joint stress, we investigated whether these conditions share similar and different shape characteristics of the patella compared with normal controls. Methods This cross-sectional study compared three different study populations: 32 patellofemoral pain subjects (mean age, 32 years (22 to 45); 72% female); 56 isolated radiological patellofemoral osteoarthritis subjects (mean age, 54 years (44 to 58); 89% female); and 80 healthy control subjects (mean age, 52 years (44 to 58); 74% female). Measurements included questionnaires, and lateral and skyline radiographs of the knee. Two separate 30-point 2D statistical shape models of the patella were created from the lateral and skyline radiographs. A general linear model was used to test for differences in standardized shape modes (a specific shape variant of the patella) between patellofemoral osteoarthritis, patellofemoral pain, and controls, using Bonferroni correction and adjustment for body mass index and gender. Results Five shape modes showed statistically significant differences between groups: skyline modes 1 (p < 0.001), 8 (p = 0.004), and 10 (p < 0.001); and lateral modes 5 (p = 0.002) and 7 (p = 0.002). Skyline mode 8 and lateral mode 5 were similar for patellofemoral osteoarthritis and patellofemoral pain populations, while being statistically significant different from the control group. Conclusion Our results indicate that patellofemoral pain and patellofemoral osteoarthritis share similar shape characteristics, which are different from control subjects. These findings support the proposed continuum disease model of patellofemoral pain predisposing to the development of patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Cite this article: J. F. A. Eijkenboom, J. H.

Abstract:

Towards the insufficiency of the research on asymmetric shape defects control, and the equipment of new asymmetric shape control device—inverse symmetric roll bending for UCM cold mill, in this paper, by ANSYS finite element simulation, high-precision rolls-strip coupling models were established, and the difference of control character among all the symmetric and asymmetric shape control methods were analyzed, then generalized overall shape setting control models with asymmetric shape control function was proposed. It was proved by field application that the control models can effectively control asymmetric and high-order shape defects with the coordination of all the symmetric and asymmetric shape control methods. Consequently, expansive research and apply prospect should be expected.

Abstract:

In flexible roll forming, the horizontal movable sheet steel can be formed by controlling the servo motor to drive the multi-pass vertical movable roll. Only when the longitudinal movable distance of the roll in every pass matches exactly the contours of the sheet steel in time and space, the designated cross-section shape can be formed. Controlling the servo motor by applying the configuration programming is a common approach to achieve roll motion, but will not be able or difficult to realize by the configuration programming for complex contour without the rules such as hyperbolic, or the molding product in asymmetric cross-section shape, however, there are two other approaches such as simplifying the curves and using similar shapes to fit the process. As for the complex non-symmetrical curvature shapes, this paper adopts the variable time-domain servo motion control method to form the sheet steel. Experiments show that the variable time-domain servo motor control is a good motion control method for the sheet steel forming in complex cross-section shape.

Abstract:

AbstractA simple and convenient method for the preparation of needle-shape nanoparticles of β-Ni(OH)2 has been developed. Results show that a needle-shaped β-Ni(OH)2 can be easily obtained in the presence of ethylenediamine and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate within a size from 100 to 200 nm. The shape and structure of the product were characterized by XRD, TEM and FT-IR. It is noteworthy that the formation of needle-shape β-Ni(OH)2 benefits from the addition of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate. The optimum preparation conditions and the possible mechanism are also discussed.
