The present study is the first to analyze the dynamic response of a poroelastic beam subjected to a moving force. Moreover, the influences of attached mass-spring systems and non-ideal supports (with local movements in the supporting points or base due to the presence of factors such as gaps, unbalanced masses, and friction or seismic excitations) on the responses were investigated. Non-ideal s...

The authors show that prismatic adaptation can reduce tactile inattention in stroke patients with unilateral neglect. Four patients with visuospatial neglect and tactile extinction underwent 10-minute application of 20 degrees right-shifting prismatic lenses during pointing. This improved contralesional tactile perception in all patients, even for a task requiring no exploration or spatial moto...

This paper presents a simple and efficient method to determine the self-equilibrated configurations of prismatic tensegrity structures with dihedral symmetry. It is demonstrated that stability of prismatic tensegrity structures is not only determined by the connectivity manner of the members, but also sensitive to the height/radius ratio and the stiffnss/prestress ratio. A catalogue of symmetri...

Rotating beams have been considerably appealing to engineers and designers of complex structures i.e. aircraft’s propeller and windmill turbines. In this paper, a new flexibility-based method is proposed for the dynamic analysis of rotating non-prismatic Euler-Bernoulli beams. The flexibility basis of the method ensures the true satisfaction of equilibrium equations at any interior point of the...

Micropillar compression technique was employed to study the microscale deformation mechanisms of basal slip, twinning and non-basal slips at selected grains in a Mg-2 wt.% Y alloy. The results suggest critical resolved shear stress (?CRSS) for slip 12.5 ± 1.7 MPa, twin nucleation growth 38.5 1.2 MPa 33.8 0.7 respectively. higher values compared those pure Mg suggests more balanced alloy with ad...
