Compliant shell mechanisms.
This paper describes a class of lightweight structures known as compliant shell mechanisms. These are novel reconfigurable solutions for advanced structures, such as morphing shells and deployable membranes. They have local, discrete corrugations, which articulate and deform to achieve dramatic changes in the overall shape of the shell. The unique kinematics are considered by highlighting examp...
متن کاملThermal conduction mechanisms in boron nitride nanotubes: Few-shell versus all-shell conduction
It has been argued that the experimentally observed limitation of heat transport through boron nitride nanotubes is due to intershell scattering rather than to inefficient heat transfer to inner shells. Using an atomistic Green’s function calculation, we present evidence that on the contrary, intershell or any other type of scattering along the nanotubes is not the main limiting mechanism, and ...
متن کاملThe Dynamic and Vibration Response of Composite Cylindrical Shell Under Thermal Shock and Mild Heat Field
In this article, the vibration and dynamic response of an orthotropic composite cylindrical shell under thermal shock loading and thermal field have been investigated. The problem is that the shell is initially located at a first temperature, and some tension caused by a mild heat field is created, then the surface temperature of the cylinder suddenly increases. The partial derivative equations...
متن کاملThe design of a compliant composite crutch.
Ambulation by crutches takes up to twice the energy of normal gait and can lead to injuries of the hands and arms. The compliant composite forearm crutch described in this article seeks to address these problems. The new crutch is made of a single composite piece and has an S-curve in the main body to provide shock absorption and return of energy with the goal of reducing impact and repetitive ...
متن کاملDynamic Analysis of Compliant Mechanisms
A systematic method for dynamic analysis of compliant mechanisms is presented including basic formulations for natural frequencies, modes, dynamic response, and frequency characteristics. Methods for design sensitivity analysis are developed to investigate the effect of various design parameters on the dynamic performance of compliant mechanisms. A micro compliant stroke amplifier mechanism, fo...
