摘要：Electrohydrostatic actuator（EHA） is a type of power-by-wire actuator that is widely implemented in the aerospace industry for flight control, landing gears, thrust reversers, thrust vector control, and space robots. This paper presents the development and evaluation of positionbased impedance control（PBIC） for an EHA. Impedance control provides the actuator with compliance and facilitates the interaction with the environment. Most impedance control applications utilize electrical or valve-controlled hydraulic actuators, whereas this work realizes impedance control via a compact and efficient EHA. The structures of the EHA and PBIC are firstly introduced. A mathematical model of the actuation system is established, and values of its coefficients are identified by particle swarm optimization. This model facilitates the development of a position controller and the selection of target impedance parameters. A nonlinear proportional-integral position controller is developed for the EHA to achieve the accurate positioning requirement of PBIC. The controller compensates for the adverse effect of stiction, and a position accuracy of 0.08 mm is *** experimental results are presented to verify the applicability of PBIC to the EHA. The compliance of the actuator is demonstrated in an impact test.

摘要：Conventional reliability-based design optimization （RBDO） requires to use the most probable point （MPP） method for a probabilistic analysis of the reliability constraints. A new approach is presented, called as the minimum error point （MEP） method or the MEP based method, for reliability-based design optimization, whose idea is to minimize the error produced by approximating performance functions. The MEP based method uses the first order Taylor＇s expansion at MEP instead of MPP. Examples demonstrate that the MEP based design optimization can ensure product reliability at the required level, which is very imperative for many important engineering systems. The MEP based reliability design optimization method is feasible and is considered as an alternative for solving reliability design optimization problems. The MEP based method is more robust than the commonly used MPP based method for some irregular performance functions.

摘要：A new nonholonomic transmission mechanism is proposed based on thenonholonomic theory and nonlinear control principle, and combined with conditions of thenonholonomic motion planning and control, that is researched to compose method of the motiontransfer chain from this transmission mechanism, on which a new nonholonomic manipulator isdesigned. This nonholonomic manipulator is a controllable multi-joint manipulator that actuated onlyby two-servo electromotor. Its motion expresses the characteristic of nonholonomy constraint andnonlinear, and that also satisfies the chained form convertibility. And then, using the nonlinearcontrol principle of chained system, motion characteristic of the nonholonomic manipulator isapplied. From simulation verification and analysis, the usefulness of the theoretical design andcontrol strategies is shown, and that is important in design and research of handiness robot andmulti-finger robot hand.

摘要：As the first invention to efficiently harvest electricity from ambient mechanical energy by using contact electrification, the triboelectric nanogenerator has elicited worldwide attention because of its cost-effectiveness and sustainability. This study exploits a superhydrophobic nanostructured aluminum tube to estimate electrical output for solid-water contact electrification inside a tubular system. The linearly proportional relationship of short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage to the detaching speed of water was determined by using a theoretical energy harvesting model and experimentation. A pioneering stick-type solid-water interacting triboelectric nanogenerator, called a SWING stick, was developed to harvest mechanical energy through solid-water contact electrification generated when the device is shaken by hand. The electrical output generated by various kinds of water from the environment was also measured to demonstrate the concept of the SWING stick as a compact triboelectric nanogenerator. Several SWING sticks were connected to show the feasibility of the device as a portable and compact source of direct power. The developed energy harvesting model and the SWING stick can provide a guideline for the design parameters to attain a desired electrical output; therefore, this study can significantly increase the applicability of a water-driven triboelectric nanogenerator.
