Abstract: The development of a grating interferometer with application to the angular measurement of a hard disk drive actuator arm for application to the servo-track writing process is presented. First, ...

Abstract: This paper revisits the nonlinear in-plane analysis of a shallow pin-ended circular arch under a central concentrated load. It is found that the arch may have multiple equilibrium branches and limit points, and a modified ...

Abstract: Drained torsional shear tests were performed on hollow cylindrical intact soft clay specimens to investigate the anisotropic deformation, strength, and noncoaxial behavior in general stress states involving variations in ...

Abstract: To establish a finite element model that reflects the geometric characteristics of the normal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), explore the approaches to model knee joint ligaments and analyze ...

Abstract: This paper presents numerical and experimental investigations of the in-plane strength and design of pin-ended circular arches having a sinusoidal corrugated web under combined in-plane loads. Finite-element models are ...
