Abstract: In this expository article, a simple concise treatment of Lagrange's prescription for constraint forces and constraint moments in the dynamics of rigid bodies is presented. The treatment is suited to both Newton–Euler ...

Abstract: The aim of this review is to classify and provide a summary of the most widely used theories of continuum mechanics with nonlocal elastic response ranging from generalized continua to peridynamics showing, in broad outlines, ...

Abstract: An automatic complex topology lightweight structure generation method (ACTLSGM) is presented to automatically generate 3D models of lightweight truss structures with a boundary surface of any shape. The core idea of the ...
