Abstract: To achieve the performance of a mechanism to a higher degree of accuracy requires that the elastic deformations of a member in a mechanism under dynamic loading conditions be taken into ...

Abstract: Plastic-strain controlled test is investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The plastic-strain control is feasible by means of computer-aided material test system. Theoretical study is ...

Abstract: This paper develops a general procedure for solving mechanism problems where intermittent separations and impacts can occur between mating parts. The numerical technique employed to solve the ...

Abstract: An automatic subincrementing technique for numerical integration of viscoplastic constitutive rate equations is investigated for finite element analysis. The technique has two major features: estimate of error and determination ...
