Abstract: A discrete beam transfer matrix method is introduced to enhance the existing approaches for the static and dynamic compliance solutions of curved-axis flexure hinges with variable curvatures and nonuniform profiles. An ...

Abstract: The radial layout D2Q9 lattice Boltzmann model applied to elastic lamina was investigated. An equivalent differential discursive form for the equation of elastic lamina deformation is provided, and its equivalency to the ...

Abstract: This paper introduces an accelerated lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) tailored for both fluid and solid simulations, utilizing the inertial relaxed Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (IR-BGK) operator, referred to as IR-LBM. The Navier-Stokes ...

Abstract: Kinetostatic and dynamic analyses of compliant mechanisms with complex configurations continue to be an attractive issue for obtaining a process-concise and result-accurate solution. In this paper, the transfer matrix ...
