Excess nonphononic excitations beyond the Debye theory of phonons are central to understanding amorphous materials. Extensive light, inelastic X-ray, and neutron scattering experiments have documented ...

GXBeam is a pure Julia implementation of Geometrically Exact Beam Theory, originally based on the open source code GEBT and its associated papers[1] [2], though it has since been augmented with a ...

This study investigates the use of symbolic computation in Matrix Structural Analysis (MatSA) for continuous beams, using the MATLAB Symbolic Math Toolbox. By employing symbolic MatSA, analytical ...

Some types of dynamic stiffness, such as the dynamic ground stiffness used in soil-structure interaction analyses and the viscoelastic body used in vibration control systems, have strong frequency ...

Aiming at the situation that the structural parameters of the general manipulators are uncertain, a time-varying impedance controller based on model reference adaptive control (MRAC) is proposed in ...

1 Department of Mechanical and Aerospace, Brunel University, London, UK. 2 Department of Design, Brunel University, London, UK. This paper is to review the theory of thin-walled beam structures of the ...

Advanced manufacturing methods such as additive manufacturing (AM, or 3D printing), robotic fabrication, and 3D knitting allow manipulation of matter in new and interesting ways, thereby enabling ...

The effects of elevated arterial stiffness on cardiovascular outcomes are widely studied, whereas the relation to noncardiovascular outcomes relevant to older persons, such as the effect on bones and ...

Many biological processes are inherently physical in nature. Increasingly, biologists are proposing that the mechanical properties of tissues are critical for processes such as embryonic development ...

Different types of frame structures are available that have been used in building construction. They are classified into two major types namely rigid frame structure and braced frame structure. These ...

Building frames can be analyzed by various methods such as force method, displacement method, and approximate method. The method of analysis to adopt depends upon the types of frame, its configuration ...

The quasi-static explicit finite element method (FEM) and element free Galerkin (EFG) method are applied to trace the post-buckling equilibrium path of thin-walled members in this paper. The factors ...
