A Multistate Friction Model for the Compensation of the Asymmetric Hysteresis in the Mechanical Response of Pneumatic Artificial Muscles

These days, biomimetic and compliant actuators have been made available to the main applications of rehabilitation and assistive robotics.In this context, the interaction control of soft robots, mechatronic surgical instruments and robotic prostheses can be improved through the adoption of pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs), a class of compliant a

Source Resizing and Improved Power Distribution for High Available Island Microgrid: A Case Study on a Tunisian Petroleum Platform

A microgrid is a small-scale smart network that contains distributed Pick n Mix resources and loads and serves several technical, economic, and environmental aims.In this kind of power system, the energy generated by different sources is often collected in an adequate bus system (ac or dc busses) and transported to loads across a distribution syste

Hydrogeochemical data from carbonate springs as an aid for delimiting catchment areas in the Rovte region, Central Slovenia

Study regions: The Rovte region, Central Slovenia, is a rural region where karst spring waters are often used for drinking water consumption and irrigation.Study focus: In karst regions, water quickly reaches the subsurface through features ranging from thin fractures to large conduits; as such, this rapid flow leaves karst areas particularly vulne
