Piecewise Affine (PWA) Modeling and Switched Damping Control of Two-Inertia Systems with Backlash
2018
Backlash degrades positioning accuracy and can induce mechanical wear and breakage by collisions. Therefore, a lot of studies have been conducted on backlash compensation. The simplest control method for the impact attenuation is torsional damping addition by feedback of torsional velocity. This paper reveals the advantages and disadvantages of the torsional damping addition. Based on the analyses, a novel switched damping control is proposed to realize the responses with smaller overshoot while attenuating the impact. The mechanical system and the proposed controller are described as piecewise affine systems for analyses. The performance of the proposed method is compared with a linear dam…
Un estudio comparativo entre dos herramientas de respuesta de audiencia en las aulas universitarias
2019
El objetivo de este texto es investigar la influencia del uso de herramientas tecnológicas en las aulas universitarias. En concreto, analizamos y evaluamos la aplicación de dos herramientas de respuesta de audiencia libres (específicamente Socrative y Kahoot!) como herramientas que fomentan la participación y asistencia de los alumnos a las sesiones teóricas y facilitan el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Se analiza si estas herramientas pueden ser utilizadas como motivadoras, fomentadoras de la participación del alumnado y facilitadoras del aprendizaje. Además, la opinión de los estudiantes sobre la utilidad de estas herramientas en el aula y como métodos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. La mues…

Luminescence of F2 and F3 + centres in LiF crystals irradiated with 12 MeV 12C ions
2018
Dependences of the nanohardness and photoluminescence of F 2 and F 3 + centers on the depth in LiF crystals irradiated with 12 MeV 12 C ions to fluences 10 10 -10 15 ions/cm 2 were studied using laser scanning confocal microscopy, luminescent spectroscopy, and the nanoindentation method. The nanohardness measurements showed a significant hardening effect at the end of the ion run with the dominant contribution of defects formed by the mechanism of elastic collisions. The observed attenuation of the luminescence intensity at high fluences is associated with the intense nucleation of dislocations as traps for aggregate color centers.
Key factors towards a high-quality additive manufacturing process with ABS material
2019
Abstract Additive Manufacturing technologies have gained a lot of popularity during the past years. The current challenge being the transition of this manufacturing technology from prototype oriented towards mass production. In order to achieve this, fabrication times and mechanical parameters must be improved. This paper aims to identify which are the parameters that have the highest influence on parts obtained with fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology from ABS material. In addition, this study identifies which are the most accurate methods to test the mechanical properties of FDM parts while still respecting ASTM standard for testing the tensile properties of plastics. It was found …
Binocular function measures as predictors of user performance in stereoscopic augmented reality
2021
Inconsistency between the binocular and focus cues in stereoscopic augmented reality overburdens the visual system leading to its stress. However, a high individual variability of tolerance for visual stress makes it difficult to predict and generalize the user gain associated with the implementation of alternative visualization technologies. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the binocular function and perceptual judgments in augmented reality. We assessed the task completion time and accuracy of perceptual distance matching depending on the consistency of binocular and focus cues in the stereoscopic environment of augmented reality. The head-mounted display was driven…
