Abstract: Flexible structures carrying moving subsystems are found in various engineering applications. Periodic passage of subsystems over a supporting structure can induce parametric resonance, causing vibration with ever-increasing ...

Abstract: Combined systems, which are flexible structures carrying moving subsystems, are seen in various applications. Due to structure–subsystem interactions, the structure in a combined system encounters jump discontinuities in ...

Abstract: As a new strategy for magnetic levitation envisioned in the 1990s, the Inductrack system with Halbach arrays of permanent magnets has been intensively researched. The previous investigations discovered that an uncontrolled ...

Abstract: In this work, a new inertia modulated meta-structure is proposed to enable time-dependent inertia parameters, and thereby realize non-reciprocal wave propagation via spatiotemporal modulation. The designed cell structure ...

Abstract: Driven by the increasing demands of the aircraft assemblage for the poseadjustment equipment in the largescale component docking, this paper carries out the topology synthesis of a 1translational and 3rotational (1T3R) ...

Abstract: Driven by requirements of fiveaxis numerical control (NC) machine for its executive mechanism, this paper creatively proposes a flow path to synthesize a novel class of ndegreeoffreedom (nDoF, 4 ≤ n ≤ 6) parallel ...
