Dynamically variable negative stiffness structures
Variable stiffness structures that enable a wide range of efficient load-bearing and dexterous activity are ubiquitous in mammalian musculoskeletal systems but are rare in engineered systems because of their complexity, power, and cost. We present a new negative stiffness-based load-bearing structure with dynamically tunable stiffness. Negative stiffness, traditionally used to achieve novel res...
متن کاملSemi-active Control of Building Structures using Variable Stiffness Device and Fuzzy Logic
Semi-active control devices, also called “Intelligent” control devices, constitute the positive aspects of both the passive and active control devices. A semi-active control strategy is similar to the active control strategy, but this control device has been shown to be more energy-efficient than active devices. A particular type of semi-active control device, the Variable Stiffness Device (VSD...
متن کاملZero Stiffness Tensegrity Structures
Tension members with a zero rest length allow the construction of tensegrity structures that are in equilibrium over a continuous range of positions and thus exhibit mechanism-like properties; equivalently, they have zero stiffness. The zero-stiffness modes are not internal mechanisms, as they involve first-order changes in member length, but are a direct result of the use of the special tensio...
متن کاملDynamically Consistent Lagrangian Coherent Structures
In this paper, we compute coherent structures based on radar data collected in Monterey Bay during August 2001 and August 2003. The Lagrangian structures are extracted from a finitetime Lyapunov exponent field. In contrast with earlier approaches, the integration time used in computing the Lyapunov exponents is not constant but adapts to the timescales of the different flow regimes present in t...
متن کاملStiffness-based Approach for Preliminary Design of Framed Tube Structures
A parametric formulation for preliminary design of tubed-system tall buildings is presented in which some optimality criteria and practical constraints are considered. Here, a minimum compliance optimization formulation, developed by other researchers, is applied to a framed-tube structure. The tube behavior is modeled as a cantilevered box beam. Independent variable in this problem is thicknes...
