Download or read book Gyrodynamics and Its Engineering Applications written by Ronald N. Arnold and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gyrodynamics and Its Engineering Applications deals with the engineering applications of gyrodynamics in a manner that stresses the physical concepts. Topics covered range from the kinematics of rigid bodies to frames of reference, along with moments and products of inertia. Gyro-verticals and the gyrodynamics of machines are also considered. Comprised of 16 chapters, this book begins with a historical background on gyroscopes and an introduction to vectors, the kinematics of a particle, and rotating systems. The emphasis is on certain fundamental ideas governing the movement of bodies in three dimensions. Motion with respect to moving axes is discussed in detail, with particular attention to the intangible Coriolis acceleration. Subsequent chapters focus on the inertial characteristics of bodies and certain dynamical theorems; the motion of a free body and of a symmetrical gyroscope under gravity; gyroscopic vibration absorbers and stabilizers; the gyro-compass; suspensions for gyroscopes; gyro-verticals; and rate and integrating gyroscopes. The book also discusses inertial navigation as well as the whirling of shafts and aircraft gyrodynamics. This monograph is intended primarily for engineers, but should also prove valuable to university teachers, research workers, and those who encounter gyroscopic problems.

Download or read book Non driven Micromechanical Gyroscopes and Their Applications written by Fuxue Zhang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively and systematically introduces readers to the theories, structures, performance and applications of non-driven mechanical and non-driven micromechanical gyroscopes. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which mainly addresses mathematic models, precision, performance and operating error in non-driven mechanical gyroscopes. The second part focuses on the operating theory, error, phase shift and performance experiments involving non-driven micromechanical gyroscopes in rotating flight carriers, while the third part shares insights into the application of non-driven micromechanical gyroscopes in control systems for rotating flight carriers. The book offers a unique resource for all researchers and engineers who are interested in the use of inertial devices and automatic control systems for rotating flight carriers. It can also serve as a reference book for undergraduates, graduates and instructors in related fields at colleges and universities.

Download or read book New Development in Robot Vision written by Yu Sun and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-26 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of robotic vision has advanced dramatically recently with the development of new range sensors. Tremendous progress has been made resulting in significant impact on areas such as robotic navigation, scene/environment understanding, and visual learning. This edited book provides a solid and diversified reference source for some of the most recent important advancements in the field of robotic vision. The book starts with articles that describe new techniques to understand scenes from 2D/3D data such as estimation of planar structures, recognition of multiple objects in the scene using different kinds of features as well as their spatial and semantic relationships, generation of 3D object models, approach to recognize partially occluded objects, etc. Novel techniques are introduced to improve 3D perception accuracy with other sensors such as a gyroscope, positioning accuracy with a visual servoing based alignment strategy for microassembly, and increasing object recognition reliability using related manipulation motion models. For autonomous robot navigation, different vision-based localization and tracking strategies and algorithms are discussed. New approaches using probabilistic analysis for robot navigation, online learning of vision-based robot control, and 3D motion estimation via intensity differences from a monocular camera are described. This collection will be beneficial to graduate students, researchers, and professionals working in the area of robotic vision.
Download or read book Control System Components written by Desai and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The operation of each component is discussed and explained in detail in order to illustrate the function and action of each component in the composite system. Examples are used wherever possible to illustrate the principles discussed. Diagrammatic illustrations are used profusely throughout the book to make the descriptive text interesting and self-explanatory. Although a large number of books dealing with the theory of control engineering are available, most of them do not deal with the varied range of components used in modern control systems. This book is an attempt to fill this need. It comprehensively covers many typical components of primary interest to the control-system engineer. A number of different types of electrical, electromechanical, electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic control devices, which form integral parts of open-loop and closed-loop control systems, have been presented to enable the students to understand all the types of control systems or equipment that they may encounter in different fields of industry. This book is especially designed to cater to the need of a one-semester course in Control System Components, particularly for the undergraduate students of Instrumentation and Control Engineering. It will also be a highly useful text for the students of Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering during their study of the theory of Control Engineering. This book will teach them about the components required to build practical control systems.
