Design and test of gravity self balancing upper limb rehabilitation robots by MA Chong, LI Shouzhong, KUANG Xinyu, ZHANG Wenlong, LI Junli, ZHAO Hongzhe

“…Based on the analysis of the change law of the center of mass during the cantilever working process of the upper limb rehabilitation robot, a cantilever mechanism of the upper limb rehabilitation robot that can automatically balance gravity was designed to address this issue.MethodsThis institution can achieve gravity balance by determining the position and parameters of the zero length spring, which means that only one spring is needed to meet the self balance of the upper limb rehabilitation robot cantilever in tension and rotation working states. In theory, joint loads generated by gravity can be completely eliminated, energy loss can be reduced, and the working range and system performance of upper limb rehabilitation robots can be improved. …”

A Birandom Job Search Problem with Risk Tolerance by Guoli Wang, Wansheng Tang, Ruiqing Zhao

“…Since the offered wages are random variables and the search process is random, it's impossible to obtain the job searcher's real return; in this case, its expected value can be calculated via birandom theory. Simultaneously, some propositions on the expected return as well as the average search times are also studied which may provide some valuable suggestions to the job searcher. …”

Green Supply Chain Decisions and Revenue-Sharing Contracts under Manufacturers’ Overconfidence by Hui Zhou, Lu Liu, Weifan Jiang, Shengsheng Li

“…In this paper, we define manufacturers’ overconfidence as a belief bias that they overestimate the impact of product greenness on demand and the accuracy of demand uncertainty. We build a game theory model based on overconfident beliefs, address the decisions of product greenness and price, and discuss the impact of manufacturers’ overconfidence on supply chain decisions and profits. …”

Damage Evolution of Concrete Piles Mixed with Admixtures in Marine Corrosion and Freeze-Thaw Environment by Yan Li, Bing Li, Lianying Zhang, Chao Ma

“…When the corrosion time is 270 d and the freeze-thaw time is 90 times, the strength of concrete decreases by 13% and the elastic modulus decreases by 5%. Then, based on the theory of damage mechanics, the damage evolution and constitutive model of concrete under the marine corrosion and freeze-thaw environment are established. …”
