Abstract To achieve better anti-vibration performance in a low frequency region and expand the range of vibration isolation, bilateral supported bio-inspired (BBAV) structure composed purely linear elements is proposed, inspired by motion form bird legs nonlinear extension compression muscles tendons. The kinematic relations dynamic model considering vertical rotational vibrations are establish...

Mechanical properties of the cells are important in controlling cell shape, cell migration, and other functions. To understand how cytoskeletal (CSK) filaments interact with one another mechanically, mechanical properties of adherent endothelial cells were analyzed after treatment with CSK-disrupting drugs. CSK stiffness (the ratio of applied stress to strain, a measure of cell resistance to sh...

This article presents the results of work related to design, analysis, and manufacturing shaft for an electric go-kart. Works considered stiffness various conditions affecting vehicle while driving. In previous stage project, motor gear transmission were selected. The main goal this case study was design 10 kW rear driving axle go-kart is not equipped with a differential. equal rotational speed...

Robotic structures based on variable stiffness enable high-performance and flexible motion systems that are inherently safe thus allow Human-Robot Collaboration. This letter presents the design of a robotic structure stiffness. A manipulator is developed using three stiff segments particle jamming with backbone architecture two tendons for an underactuated control whole structure. By switching ...

In this paper, the structural behavior of beam joint using bearing bolts was investigated by bending test. From test results, slip against linear that high strength bolts, rotation angle increases with increase clearance bolt holes and decrease depth were confirmed. addition, evaluated accounting for slip, shifting range from contact to pressure state rotational stiffness under pressure.
