Abstract: A compartmental furnace model for supercritical coalfired boiler systems is presented in this paper. Instead of the traditional lumped parameter method, the furnace is divided to seven compartments along the height based ...

Abstract: Zero-stiffness compliant mechanisms (ZSCM) can provide constant or zero force over a range of motion without the issues caused by the inherent stiffness of compliant mechanisms (CM). The large-deflection curved beams in ...
