This paper presents the static and dynamic modeling for a recently discovered artificial muscle-twisted and coiled actuator (TCA). This actuator can generate large force and displacement; moreover, it is low-cost, easy to fabricate, and customizable. Since the discovery of TCA, it has been widely adopted for various robotic applications. Nevertheless, theoretical models to describe the static performance...
This paper examines flexible operation of solvent-based post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) for the reduction of power plant carbon emissions while minimizing revenue loss due to the reduced power plant electricity output. The study is conducted using a model superstructure enveloping three plants; a power plant, a PCC plant and a solar thermal field where the power plant and PCC plant are operated...
Virtual worlds can support learning processes by providing visual aid that deals with the complexities of real life problems. Increasingly useful is the online use of virtual worlds and the associated technical and social interactivity. This paper describes the development of a virtual world in Second Life environment for dynamics and control learning, and outlines the use of this virtual world as...
