Abstract: Internal resonance is explored as a possible mechanism to enhance vibrationbased energy harvesting. An electromagnetic device with snapthrough nonlinearity is proposed as an archetype of an internal resonance energy ...

Abstract: In this manuscript, acoustic wave propagation in a novel threedimensional porous phononic crystalKagome lattice, is studied by using finite element method. Firstly, a Kagomesphere structure is established based on Kagome ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is twofold: first to illustrate that nonlinear modal interactions, namely, a twotoone internal resonance energy pump, can be exploited to improve the steadystate bandwidth of vibratory energy ...

Abstract: Low stress interrupted creep test, as an interim compromise, can provide essential data for creep deformation design. However, there are no clear guidelines on the characterization of the terminating time for interrupted ...

Abstract: To reduce the contouring errors in computer-numerical-control (CNC) contour-following tasks, the cross-coupling controller (CCC) is widely researched and used. However, most existing CCCs are well-designed for two-axis ...

Abstract: In the five-axis machining, the dual nonuniform rational B-spline (NURBS) interpolator performs better than the conventional linear interpolator in improving machining efficiency and quality. However, a successful dual ...

Abstract: Bison is a computational physics code that uses the finite element method to model the thermo-mechanical response of nuclear fuel. Since Bison is used to inform high-consequence decisions, it is important that its computational ...
