Fast dividing of close surfaces with some fluid in between lead to high forces. This phenomenon is called fluid stiction. In case of fast switching valves with flat armature design, this effect becomes dominant during the switching process and reduces the switching...
This novel magnetically levitated drive is of a unique type since it has no need for permanent magnetic material in the rotor. Hence it is cheap to manufacture, conserves ecological resources, is very robust and temperature resistant. The implemented homopolar motor...
In the framework of the MFP “Adaptive optimal control for mechatronical systems under unknown operating conditions” an approach has been developed and validated experimentally to determine suitable testing conditions for autonomous or semi-autonomous functions or...
The production of plastic parts in a continuous process requires accurate knowledge of the melt distribution inside the die. Common numerical methods give good results, but they require high computational power and complex geometry generation. Using a method analogous...
22 % of all mining accidents in the US are caused by limited visibility. This is according to studies by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). There are also further potential dangers. For example, different tasks require the full attention of machine...
