Abstract: In this paper, two triangular plate elements based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) are introduced. Triangular elements employ the Kirchhoff plate theory and can, accordingly, ...

Abstract: In this study, a procedure to account for transverse shear deformation in the absolute nodal coordinate formulation is presented. In the absolute nodal coordinate formulation, shear deformation ...

Abstract: In order to improve the recognition of faulty situations, model-based fault detection can be used together with signal processing methods. In this study, faults and abnormalities of a reel are ...

Abstract: Active magnetic bearings present a technology that has many advantages compared to traditional bearing concepts. Active magnetic bearings, however, require retainer bearings in order to prevent ...
