Abstract: Many driveline systems are designed to accommodate angular misalignment by the use of flexible couplings or Universal Joints (U-Joints) which link individual shaft segments. The Sommerfeld effect is a nonlinear phenomenon ...

Abstract: Elastic storage has been reported to help flying insects save inertial power when flapping their wings. This motivates recent research and development of elastic storage for flapping-wing micro air vehicles (fwMAVs) and ...

Abstract: The Qinghai–Tibet Engineering Corridor passes through a 550-km-long permafrost area. The lateral thermal erosion of the linear engineering project inside the corridor substantially influences its stability and serviceability. ...
