Abstract: In this paper the stability of the lateral dynamic behavior of a pinned-pinned, clamped-pinned and clamped-clamped beam under axial periodic force or torque is studied. The time-varying parameter ...

Abstract: An original method for evaluating the dissipative effect in SDOF systems due to the transient phenomenon was presented in a previous article. This method based on the use of an additional ...

Abstract: This paper deals with damping due to transient motion in the case of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) system. The main aim of this research is to make the method presented by the authors in a ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on laboratory tests concerned with the lateral behavior of a rod representative of part of a drill-string in the area of rotary oil drilling. The original experimental set-up ...

Abstract: In the framework of developing a future space telescope, this paper focuses on a deployable hexapod equipped with tape-spring coiling devices. It describes the measurement of the platform ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simulation tool for predicting the self-deployment of an on-board deployable hexapod based on the release of strain energy stored in six tape-spring actuators. Their ...
