Abstract: The threedimensional nonlinear global dynamics of an axially moving viscoelastic beam is investigated numerically, retaining longitudinal, transverse, and lateral displacements and inertia. The nonlinear continuous model ...

Abstract: Robots are being increasingly used by physical therapists to carry out rehabilitation treatments owing to their ability of providing repetitive, controlled, and autonomous training sessions. Enhanced treatment outcomes can ...

Abstract: This paper aims at analyzing the size-dependent nonlinear dynamical behavior of a geometrically imperfect microbeam made of a functionally graded (FG) material, taking into account the longitudinal, transverse, and rotational ...

Abstract: Parallel robots are multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs) systems that are typically used in applications characterized by enhanced accuracy, rigidity, and large force requirements within a compact workspace. In the present ...
