Abstract: A single-joint flexible robot arm consisting of one link and carrying an end effector is modeled by a continuous, uniform, clamped-free beam having a concentrated mass at the free end and ...

Abstract: A procedure is described for reducing dynamical equations in two-space variables defined in a rectangle with nonhomogeneous time dependent boundary data to equations with homogeneous boundary data. ...

Abstract: The optimal layer thicknesses and optimal feedback control function are determined for a symmetric, cross‐ply laminate. The objectives of the optimization are to maximize the biaxial buckling load (design objective) and ...
