Abstract: Taking advantage of a piezoelectric material to fabricate miniature mobile robots, this study presents a similarity method, fabrication process, and walking experiment method. A curved piezoelectric ...

Abstract: Calculations of two types of fractal dimension are reported, regarding the elastic-plastic response of a two-degree-of-freedom beam model to short pulse loading. The first is Mandelbrot’s (1982) ...

Abstract: In the course of He II-He I phase transition studies, one phase of the investigations has been concerned with free convection in He I with the aim of simulating the heat transfer in rotating ...

Abstract: The paper discusses chaotic response behavior of a beam model whose ends are fixed, so that shallow arch action prevails after moderate plastic straining has occurred due to a short pulse of ...
