A robot for welding inspection in offshore mooring chains
(Springer, 2018-08-31)
In this paper, the authors present the CIRUS robot. This automatic system uses a combination of pulse-echo and pitch and catch ultrasonic strategies for the inspection of the welded area of mooring chain links in an automatic ...
A robot for non-destructive testing weld inspection of offshore mooring chains
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2018-05-09)
Welding flaw detection is a key step in manufacturing many components. In offshore chains, every link is manufactured from a steel bar that is bent and the ends joined by flash butt welding. Ultrasonic inspection of the ...
Structural Synthesis of 3-DoF Spatial Fully Parallel Manipulators
(Intech Europe, 2014-07-16)
In this paper, the architectures of three degrees of freedom (3-DoF) spatial, fully parallel manipulators (PMs), whose limbs are structurally identical, are obtained systematically. To do this, the methodology followed ...
Insights into mechanism kinematics for protein motion simulation
(Biomed Central, 2014-06-12)
Background: The high demanding computational requirements necessary to carry out protein motion simulations make it difficult to obtain information related to protein motion. On the one hand, molecular dynamics simulation ...
Translational parallel manipulator with Pa2 kinematic joints
(Springer, 2016-10-01)
The kinematic pair Pa2 is composed of two interlinked parallelograms. It has two degrees of freedom that generate a translational plane variable with position. It has a structure different from the PaPa pair, which is ...
Estudio de las proteínas desde una perspectiva biocinemática: estado del arte
(Publicaciones DYNA, 2019-09-01)
Las proteínas son las macromoléculas encargadas de llevar a cabo la gran mayoría de las funciones vitales que los seres vivos requieren para su existencia. Estas macromoléculas, las cuales se asemejan a pequeños mecanismos ...
Optimum dimensional synthesis using GIMSYNT software
(Springer, 2019-06-14)
In the field of mechanism design, optimum dimensional synthesis
plays a significant role. Focusing on path generation synthesis, the designer has
to find the most adequate mechanism capable of tracing a trajectory as ...
Dynamics and mechanical vibrations. Complementing the theory with virtual simulation and experimental analysis
(Springer, 2018-09-21)
The purpose of the present work is to show how the complex theory in subjects related to
Mechanism and Machine Theory can be reinforced with some practicals in which the students can perform
virtual simulation of the ...
Multioperation capacity of parallel manipulators basing on generic kinematic chain approach
(Elsevier, 2017-06-07)
The idea of designing multioperation mechanisms capable of performing different tasks has gained prominence in the last years. These mechanisms, commonly called reconfig- urable mechanisms, have the ability to change their ...
Parallel manipulators: practical applications and kinematic design criteria. Towards the modular reconfigurable robots
(Springer, 2017-06-10)
Modern robotic manipulators play an essential role in industry, developing several tasks in an easy way, enhancing the accuracy of the final product and reducing the executing time. Also they can be found in other fields ...
