In-operation structural modification of planetary gear sets using design optimization methods
(Springer, 2019)Planetary gears are a crucial component in the drives of automation systems and robots. The vibrational behavior of these components can lead to detrimental structural-mechanical effects including fatigue, comfort and ... -
Rap: A new wearable/portable device for extracorporeal blood ultrafiltration
(Springer, 2019)The interest in the design of portable and wearable medical devices is related to both the relevant clinical and social benefits for patients and the potential economic savings for national health services. The development ... -
Parametric eigenvalue analysis for flexible multibody systems
(Springer, 2019)Modal analysis of mechanical systems and structures is a powerful tool for the assessment of vibrational behavior. Dynamical mechanical systems per their intention are used in a vast range of configurations and the vibrational ... -
Data Acquisition Towards Defining a Multimodal Interaction Model for Human-Assistive Robot Communication
(Springer, 2014)We report on the procedures followed in order to acquire a multimodal sensory corpus that will become the primary source of data retrieval, data analysis and testing of mobility assistive robot prototypes in the European ... -
Fabrication technologies for the integration of thin-film electronics into smart textiles
(Woodhead Publishing, 2013)Smart textiles are a key component for sensing physiological parameters close to the human body, supporting and assisting people in daily living. In addition, smart textiles offer potential in technical textiles: they ... -

A Treasure in the Desert? Carbon Stock Estimates for Haloxylon aphyllum in the Northeastern Karakum Desert
(Routledge, 2015)Among the earth’s terrestrial ecosystems, deserts and other dryland ecosystems are the least productive and thus exhibit the lowest vegetation carbon densities, or mass of carbon per area [t C ha-1] (for example, Cao and ... -
Application of a parametric modal analysis approach to flexible-multibody systems
(Springer, 2019)It is widely recognized that modal analysis is an effective tool for the study, modeling, design, control and understanding of mechanical systems. However, its applicability is limited to linear or linearized systems. The ... -
