Engineering Research Equipment Grant: High-Speed Motion Analysis Equipment

该项目支持采购加强高速运动分析研究所需的设备。该设备包括柯达旋转物理运动分析系统、高速(每秒1000帧)录像带摄像系统。它将用于几个研究项目，包括机构学、振动粒子运动和机器人学。机构研究将使用相机来研究高速机构中动态作用引起的变形，特别是轴联轴器，这种联轴器不容易用应变仪测量变形。振动颗粒研究将利用该设备观察振动分离过程，并测量颗粒物质流动中单个颗粒的运动学。机器人研究将使用相机来研究机器人组装中的插入任务。

This project supports the procurement of equipment needed to enhance research on high speed motion analysis. The equipment comprises a Kodak Spin Physics Motion Analysis System, a high speed (1000 frames per second) video tape camera system. It will be used for several research projects including studies of mechanisms, vibratory particle motion and robotics. The mechanisms research will use the camera to study deformation induced by dynamic action in high speed mechanisms, specifically shaft couplings which cannot be easily instrumented with strain gages to measure deformations. The vibratory particle research will use the equipment to observe the vibratory segregation process and measure the individual particle kinematics in the flow of granular materials. The robotics research will use the camera to study insertion tasks in robotic assembly.
