On the nonlinear steady-state response of rigid rotors supported by air foil bearings—Theory and experiments
Jon Steffen Larsen,Ilmar Santos +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the fluid film pressures, foil deflections and rotor movements are simultaneously solved, considering foil stiffness and damping coefficients estimated using a structural model, previously described and validated against experiments.

An integrated 2-D model of a lithium ion battery: the effect of material parameters and morphology on storage particle stress
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated 2D model of a lithium ion battery is developed to study the mechanical stress in storage particles as a function of material properties, and the results show that the particle distance from the separator, in combination with the material properties of the particle, is critical in predicting the stress generated within the particle.

Impact of node geometry on the effective stiffness of non-slender three-dimensional truss lattice architectures
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of nodes on the Young's modulus of lattice architectures with different unit cell geometries was quantified through simple analytical constructions, reduced-order computational models, and experiments at the milli-and micrometer scales.

Honeycomb Wachspress finite elements for structural topology optimization
TL;DR: In this article, the Wachspress-type hexagonal elements are used for topology optimization and three edge-based symmetry lines are added to the standard Lagrangian-type finite elements, such as linear quads and triangles.
