Dynamic Response of a Casting Crane Rigid-Flexible Coupling System to High Temperature by Yunsheng Xin, Qing Dong, Qisong Qi, Qinglu Shi

“…To determine the influence of temperature on the mechanical properties of crane metal structures, three Q355 alloy steel samples were processed and their elastic moduli were tested at different temperatures using a metal tension test bed. The constitutive equation for the elastic modulus of Q355 alloy steel at different temperatures was predicted using test data and a neural network algorithm. …”

A frictional contact problem with normal damped response conditions and thermal effects for a thermo-electro-viscoelastic material by Abdelmoumene Djabi

“…Purpose – The paper presents a mathematical problem involving quasistatic contact between a thermo-electro-viscoelastic body and a lubricated foundation, where the contact is described using a version of Coulomb’s law of friction that includes normal damped response conditions and heat exchange with a conductive foundation. The constitutive law for the material is thermo-electro-viscoelastic. …”

Enhancing Cobot Design Through User Experience Goals: An Investigation of Human–Robot Collaboration in Picking Tasks by Ana Pinto, Inês Duarte, Carla Carvalho, Luís Rocha, Joana Santos

“…For that, an experimental setup was introduced in the form of a laboratory case study in which the human–robot collaboration (HRC) was evaluated by the combination of both quantitative (applying the User Experience Questionnaire [UEQ]) and qualitative (semistructured interviews) metrics. The sample was constituted by 19 university students. The quantitative approach showed positive overall ratings for the programming phase UX, with attractiveness having the highest average value (M=2.21; SD=0.59) and dependability the lowest (M=1.64; SD=0.65). …”
