RISThe Dual Euler Basis: Constraints, Potentials, and Lagrange’s Equations in Rigid-Body Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Given a specific set of Euler angles, it is common to ask what representations conservative moments and constraint moments possess. In this paper, we discuss the role that a non-orthogonal ...
On Some Peculiar Aspects of Axial Motions of Closed Loops of String in the Presence of a Singular Supply of Momentum
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We consider the dynamics of a closed loop of inextensible string which is undergoing an axial motion. At each instant, one material point of the string is in contact with a singular supply ...

On the Nonlinear Dynamics of Tether Suspensions for MEMS
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many MEM devices feature tether suspensions and it is known that the tethers induce a stiffening behavior. In this paper, we develop a model for a tether and, from it, establish several ...
On the Stiffness Matrix of the Intervertebral Joint: Application to Total Disk Replacement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The traditional method of establishing the stiffness matrix associated with an intervertebral joint is valid only for infinitesimal rotations, whereas the rotations featured in spinal motion are ...
