Smart manufacturing concepts are being integrated into all areas of manufacturing
industries, from the device level (eg, intelligent sensors) to the efficient coordination of …

Abstract Roll-to-roll (R2R) printing has been pursued as a commercially viable high-
throughput technology to manufacture flexible, disposable and inexpensive printed …

Remaining useful life (RUL) is an essential part of prognostic and health management,
which can be employed to enhance the reliability and reduce the maintenance cost. For …

Remaining useful life prediction for degrading systems plays a key role in prevalent
prognostics and health management discipline. Compared with the offline remaining useful …

This study proposes the design of a roll-to-roll system for flexible electronics that enables
accurate and precise tension control. It analyzes the factors for change in the tension of a roll …

In this paper, an active control scheme for the rewinding process of a roll-to-roll (R2R)
system is investigated. The control objectives are to suppress the transverse vibration of the …

It is well known that load torque disturbance and parametric uncertainties commonly exist in
permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and may reduce the tracking accuracy …

Coiling is a method used to store long and thin products, such as a wire or film, made out of
steel, plastic, or rubber, in a volumeefficient manner, and is the final phase of most roll …

Roll-to-roll (R2R) printing systems are complex multi-input multi-output systems (MIMO),
which makes it difficult to design a register control scheme for them, much less high …

In this paper, the nonlinear dynamics of fractional viscoelastic polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) membranes with linearly varying density are elaborated. The viscoelasticities of the …
