Abstract

Non-destructive evaluation of structures such as ships and large oil tanks can be rapidly carried out using robots employing magnetic adhesion. This eliminates the need for the use of laborious suction systems, usually employed in climbing robots. However, since the operation of the robot is very much dependent on the speed at which the robot can move before the adhesion is lost, there is a need for determining limits at which magnetic force becomes ineffective. Finite element models and dynamic solution of magnetically supported robots have been presented in order to determine the speed limits at which they can operate.

Period	11/09/17 → 13/09/17
Other	The 20th International Conference on Climbing and Walking Robots and Support Technologies for Mobile Machines (CLAWAR 2017), will be held within the premises of the School of Engineering of the Porto Polytechnic, Portugal, during 11 – 13 September 2017, continuing a series of successful events all over the world. CLAWAR 2017 will feature technical and social programs. The technical program will comprise plenary, regular and special/invited sessions. All articles submitted for inclusion in the conference will be peer reviewed before acceptance. It is envisaged that all accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, to be published by World Scientific Publishing Company, as well as on CD/flash drive, subject to registration of at least one author for presenting the work. A selection of presented papers will also be recommended for possible publication in reputable international journals.
