Safety Oriented System Using ER Fluid in the Joint

ER joint realizes high-speed response and force restricted mechanism at the same time. We apply these properties to autonomic safety mechanism to protect from a collision accident. Then we prove stability of this system in case of the normal operations by Liapunov's direct method, and apply the...

Summary:ER joint realizes high-speed response and force restricted mechanism at the same time. We apply these properties to autonomic safety mechanism to protect from a collision accident. Then we prove stability of this system in case of the normal operations by Liapunov's direct method, and apply the system to micro-injector actually for showing the effectiveness of the mechanism.
