Application of piezoactive material/rheological fluid composite structures in engineering

Active materials are rapidly expanding their variety as well as applications due to their promising high–tech potential. Composite structures of active materials enable researchers to develop mechatronic systems and devices with inherent intelligence features and increased level of integration. A composite structure consisting of piezoactive material and electrorheological fluid is proposed, and its possibilities in developing self-adjusting and adaptive systems are discusse

Dynamics of tactile device drive

A study of novel tactile device transient processes that occurs during the information transmission has been described. Mathematical model has been presented and investigation of pin drive dynamics were performed. Results of investigations allowed us to evaluate the influence of drive parameters and operating regimes on the pin motion, and may be used in engineering practice for tactile device developmen

Loading characteristics of weight stack machines

The load characteristics of the weight stack machines, where the resistance is generated by inertia of the stack of masses, are the subject of the paper. The method and means of experimental research are described. The dependencies of inertial resistance load upon the rate of exercises and the stack weight are determine
