Two Degree Of Freedom

We present the exact constraint design of a two degrees of freedom cross-flexure-based stage that combines a large workspace to footprint ratio with high vibration mode frequencies. To maximize unwanted vibration mode frequencies the mechanism is an assembly of optimized parts. To ensure a deterministic behavior the assembled mechanism is made exactly constrained. We analyze the kinematics of the mechanism using three methods; Grüblers criterion, opening the kinematic loops, and with a multibody singular value decomposition method. Nine release-flexures are implemented to obtain an exact constraint design. Measurements of the actuation force and natural frequency show no bifurcation, and load stiffening is minimized, even though there are various errors causing nonlinearity. Misalignment of the exact constraint designs does not lead to large stress, it does however decrease the support stiffness significantly. We conclude that designing an assembled mechanism in an exactly constrained manner leads to predictable stiffnesses and modal frequencies.

The problem of analyzing a big amount of user data to determine their preferences and, based on these data, to provide recommendations on new products is important. Depending on the correctness and timeliness of the recommendations, significant profits or losses can be obtained. The task of analyzing data on users of services of companies is carried out in special recommendation systems. However, with a large number of users, the data for processing become very big, which causes complexity in the work of recommendation systems. For efficient data analysis in commercial systems, the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method can perform intelligent analysis of information. With a large amount of processed information we proposed to use distributed systems. This approach allows reducing time of data processing and recommendations to users. For the experimental study, we implemented the distributed SVD method using Message Passing Interface, Hadoop and Spark technologies and obtained the results of reducing the time of data processing when using distributed systems compared to non-distributed ones.

In this study, the dynamic contractions and the associated fatigue condition in biceps brachii muscle are analysed using Synchrosqueezed Wavelet Transform (SST) and singular value features of surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals. For this, the recorded signals are decomposed into time-frequency matrix using SST. Two analytic functions namely Morlet and Bump wavelets are utilised for the analysis. Singular Value Decomposition method is applied to this time-frequency matrix to derive the features such as Maximum Singular Value (MSV), Singular Value Entropy (SVEn) and Singular Value Energy (SVEr). The results show that both these wavelets are able to characterise nonstationary variations in sEMG signals during dynamic fatiguing contractions. Increase in values of MSV and SVEr with the progression of fatigue denotes the presence of nonstationarity in the sEMG signals. The lower values of SVEn with the progression of fatigue indicate the randomness in the signal. Thus, it appears that the proposed approach could be used to characterise dynamic muscle contractions under varied neuromuscular conditions.

A modified truncated singular value decomposition method for solving ill-posed problems is presented in this paper, in which the solution has a slightly different form. Both theoretical and numerical results show that the limitations of the classical TSVD method have been overcome by the new method and very few additive computations are needed.

In this work, satellite images for Razaza Lake and the surrounding areadistrict in Karbala province are classified for years 1990,1999 and2014 using two software programming (MATLAB 7.12 and ERDASimagine 2014). Proposed unsupervised and supervised method ofclassification using MATLAB software have been used; these aremean value and Singular Value Decomposition respectively. Whileunsupervised (K-Means) and supervised (Maximum likelihoodClassifier) method are utilized using ERDAS imagine, in order to getmost accurate results and then compare these results of each methodand calculate the changes that taken place in years 1999 and 2014;comparing with 1990. The results from classification indicated thatwater and hills are decreased, while vegetation, wet land and barrenland are increased for years 1999 and 2014; comparable with 1990.The classification accuracy was done by number of random pointschosen on the study area in the field work and geographical data thencompared with the classification results, the classification accuracy forthe proposed SVD method are 92.5%, 84.5% and 90% for years1990,1999,2014, respectivety, while the classification accuracies forunsupervised classification method based mean value are 92%, 87%and 91% for years 1990,1999,2014 respectivety.
