GIMBALS FOR VECTOR CONTROL OF NERVA LIQUID MOTOR TRANSPORTERS
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2009, Vol 54, Issue 3
Abstract
The team for space technology of UPB presents the project for achieving a proprietary orbital access launching system under the NERVA readiness opportunity. The NERVA vehicle is a readily available and low cost means to demonstrate the feasibility to achieve secured high altitude sub-orbital flights with a final delivered velocity of one half the orbital velocity at 100 miles altitude, a typical low Earth orbit (LEO), by the conversion of dismissed soil-air SA-2 Guideline systems. These weapons became obsolete recently in Romania. The main technological feature regards the gimbal-type support of the rocket motor, presently within a fastened mounting. The problems arouse by the spherical bearing and its controls are revised in the paper. Application focuses on the mechanics of the motor.

TRENDS IN SURGICAL ROBOTICS
Surgical Robotics today is essentially about two families of devices, namely telemanipulators and simulators for mini-invasive (endoscopic) procedures. In both cases, the user-interface, i.e. the “joystick” to be manipul...

INCREMENTAL NUMERICAL METHOD USED FOR THE KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE FOUR-BAR LINKAGE MECHANISM
Kinematics deals with the study of geometrics aspects of the movement without taking into consideration the mass of the rigid solids (their inertia) and neither the causes that provoked the movement namely the forces. Th...
