Abstract: An original method for evaluating the dissipative effect in SDOF systems due to the transient phenomenon was presented in a previous article. This method based on the use of an additional ...

Abstract: This paper deals with damping due to transient motion in the case of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) system. The main aim of this research is to make the method presented by the authors in a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simulation tool for predicting the self-deployment of an on-board deployable hexapod based on the release of strain energy stored in six tape-spring actuators. Their ...
