The purpose of this research is to develope a algorithm characterizing the grasp of the randomly fed objects using the tactile sensor. The tactile sensor used is composed of the 10 x 16 arrays of optical sensors and the planar resolution is 1.8 x 1.8 mm$^{2}$. The square and circular plate are used for the investigation of the characteristics of this sensor. The result shows that the measuring performance of the square plate is superior to that of the circular plate. Based upon this result the algorithm for the assembly of the electric plug was developed and was implemented using the mini-robot.

The present research deals with the multi-dual-phase-lags thermoelasticity theory for thermoelastic behavior of transversely isotropic thermoelastic thin circular plate The Laplace and Hankel transform techniques have been used to find the solution of the problem. The displacement components, stress components, and conductive temperature distribution are computed in the transformed domain with the radial distance and further determined in the physical domain using numerical inversion techniques. The effect of rotation and two temperature are depicted graphically on the resulting quantities.

A plate on the elastic half-space may generally be analyzed by the finite element method. However, there are some difficulties to obtain the flexibility matrix of the foundation based on the Boussinesq's theory. In this study, an efficient numerical procedure which uses the analysis results of the vertical displacements due to the uniformly distributed loading in a circular area is presented. Some numerical examples represent better results than those of numerical integration technique or subsection method especially in the case of irregular mesh pattern.

The circular plate resting on Boussinesq's half-space model under axisymmetric loading is studied by a finite element procedure to evaluate the distribution of contact pressure between plate and elastic half-space. The displacement of half-space due to axisymmetric surface loading can be evaluated by double integration of Boussinesq's solution. On that case the analytical integration can be executed for the radial direction but the analytical integration for the circumferential direction is impossible and the numerical integration should be considered. With the radial integration we can get non-dimensional function. Then the numerical integration for the formula is executed for the circumferential direction and the results are approximated 5th order Polynomials by using the least square method. With these 5th order approximate formula, the flexibility matrix of half-space is constructed as the coefficient matrix of nodal contact pressure by the finite element procedures. Iteration procedures are attempted by using this method to determine the separated region.

In this paper, the physical neutral surface concept is applied to study the wave propagation of functionally graded (FG) circular plate, the wave equation is derived by Hamiltonian variational principle and the first-order shear deformation plate model. Then, we convert the equations to dimensionless equations. The exact solution of wave propagation problem is obtained by Laplace integral transformation, the first order Hankel integral transformation and the zero order Hankel integral transformation. The results obtained by the current model are very close to those obtained in the existing literature, which indicates the correctness and reliability of this study. Moreover, the effects of the functionally graded index parameters and pore volume fraction on the wave propagation are also discussed in detail.

Control of drag force on a circular cylinder using multiple detached splitter plates is numerically studied for laminar flow Two splitter plates with the same length as the cylinder diameter (d) are placed horizontally in the upstream of the cylinder and in the near-wake region, respectively. Their positions are described by the gap ratios (G$_1$/d, G$_2$/d), where G$_1$ represents the gap between the cylinder stagnation point and the rear edge of the upstream splitter plate, and G$_2$ represents the gap between the cylinder base point and the leading edge of the rear splitter plate. The drag varies with the two gap ratios; it has the minimum value at a certain set of gap ratios for each Reynolds number The upstream splitter plate decreases the stagnation pressure, while the rear splitter plate increases the base pressure by suppressing vortex shedding. This combined effect causes a significant drag reduction on the cylinder Particularly, the drag sharply increases past an optimum G$_2$/d; this seems to be related to a sudden change in bubble size in the wake region.

Control of drag farce on a circular cylinder using a detached splitter plate is numerically studied for laminar flow. A splitter plate with the same length as the cylinder diameter(d) is placed horizontally in the wake region. Its position is described by the gap ratio(G/d), where G represents the gap between the cylinder base point and the leading edge of the plate. The drag varies with the gap ratio; it has the minimum value at a certain gap ratio for each Reynolds number. The drag sharply increases past the optimum gap ratio; this seems to be related to the sudden change in bubble size in the wake region. This trend is consistent with the experimental observation currently available in case of turbulent flow. It is also found that the net drag coefficient significantly depends on the variation of base suction coefficient.

In this article, the free vibration analysis of annular sandwich plates with various functionally graded (FG) porous cores and carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (CNTRC) facesheets is investigated based on modified couple stress theory (MCST) and first order shear deformation theories (FSDT). The annular sandwich plate is composed of two face layers and a functionally graded porous core layer which contains different porosity distributions. Various approaches such as extended mixture rule (EMR), Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka (E-M-T), and Halpin-Tsai (H-T) are used to determine the effective material properties of microcomposite circular sandwich plate. The governing equations of motion are extracted by using Hamilton's principle and FSDT. A Ritz method has been utilized to calculate the natural frequency of an annular sandwich plate. The effects of material length scale parameters, boundary conditions, aspect and inner-outer radius ratios, FG porous distributions, pore compressibility and volume fractions of CNTs are considered. The results are obtained by Ritz solutions that can be served as benchmark data to validate their numerical and analytical methods in the future work and also in solid-state physics, materials science, and micro-electro-mechanical devices.

A study was conducted on a tubular heat exchanger to improve its heat transfer rate by using a novel baffle plate design with discontinuous swirling patterns. The design consisted of perforated baffle plates with rectangular air deflectors positioned at varying angles. The tubes in the heat exchanger were arranged in a consistent alignment with the airflow direction and exposed to a uniform heat flux on their surfaces. Each baffle plate included sixteen deflectors inclined at the same angle and arranged in a clockwise pattern. This arrangement induced a swirling motion of the air inside a circular duct where the heated tubes were located, leading to increased turbulence and improved heat transfer on the tube surfaces. The spacing between the baffle plates was adjusted at different pitch ratios, and the Reynolds number was controlled within a range of 16,000 to 29,000. The effects of pitch ratios and inclination angles on the heat exchanger's performance were analyzed. The results indicated that using a baffle plate with rectangular deflectors inclined at 30° and a pitch ratio of 1.2 resulted in an average increase of 1.29 in the thermal enhancement factor.

The aerodynamic characteristics of a circular cylinder with a wavy splitter plate were experimentally studied, specifically the potential reduction of drag and fluctuations in drag. To study the individual effects of amplitude and wavelength, the experiments were conducted by varying one parameter at a time while holding the other one constant. To study the effect of amplitude (A), the wavelength to diameter ratio (λ/D) was fixed at 0.115 and the amplitude to diameter ratio (A/D) was varied as 0.005, 0.010, 0.015 and 0.020. Similarly, to study the effect of wavelength, A/D was fixed as 0.020 and λ/D was varied as 0.46, 0.23, 0.15 and 0.12. Analysis of the data indicated that the wavy splitter plate caused a significant reduction in both the magnitude and the fluctuation of drag. The variation of aerodynamic forces and the fluctuations with them corresponding to different Reynolds numbers were computed and the spectral aspects of fluctuating forces due to vortex shedding is analysed and effective reduction in both shedding frequency and magnitude was observed.
