System Level Simulation of Drivetrains by Advanced Gear Contact Techniques KU Leuven
In recent years, the engineering and manufacturing industry has been reshaped by technological forces and the pursuit of sustainable development. The rise of computing power has enhanced the role of numerical modelling and simulation to the extent that they represent an everyday solution for engineering problems. Numerical modelling facilitates design validation in an early stage and enables testing different configurations in the virtual ...
Active state estimation for high degrees of freedom robotic applications KU Leuven
Planning actions under uncertainty has always played a significant part in robotics. As robots become more prevalent in dynamic home, industrial, and harsh environmental settings, they will be increasingly required to make independent decisions about how to accomplish their tasks, very often under (severe) uncertainty. Sources of uncertainties in robotics are derived from sensor noise, uncertain actuators, and uncertainties in environmental ...
Joint State/Input Estimation in Structural Dynamics - State/Force Estimation Using Compressive Sensing within a Multistep Approach KU Leuven
The trend of increasing intelligence in mechatronic systems characterises many products and production lines in our society, aiming at better performances, improved reliability, higher safety, reduced costs and lower emissions. When machines are operational, processes like control and monitoring employ digital computers and sensors to take decisions in response to measured data. Furthermore, during the design phase of a product additional ...

Dynamic vibration absorbers with arbitrary connection characteristics for reconfigurable mechanical assemblies Ghent University
Excessive vibrations are detrimental to a mechanical system’s structural integrity, performance and production quality/output. Emerging design trends incorporate light and slender material, reconfigurable and modular assemblies, and have changing loads and propulsion. This leads to vibration susceptible designs with uncertain, time-varying vibratory behavior. To reduce excessive vibrations, a passive device called a dynamic vibration absorber ...

Environmental Exploration 2018: Background Document Solutions Mobility System KU Leuven
Introduction
The mobility of persons and goods leads to important benefits for the Flemish inhabitants and the economy in Flanders. Passenger transport makes it possible for people to go to work to earn an income, to undertake leisure activities and activities for their personal development, and to have a network of social contacts. With efficient goods transport firms can organise their production process efficiently and ...
