Abstract: Wave based method (WBM) is presented to analyze the free and forced vibration of cylindrical shells with discontinuity in thickness. The hull is first divided into multiple segments according to the locations of thickness ...

Abstract: An improved method for calculating the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of bridges is proposed in this article. In this method, the nonlinear characteristics of the additional aeroelastic effects during VIV versus structural ...

Abstract: Cable-driven arms have the advantages of light weight, large workspace, good compliance, high-speed, and acceleration. This paper proposes a cable-driven variable stiffness humanoid arm that can reproduce typical daily ...
