Dynamics of a 3-DOF spatial parallel manipulator with flexible links

TL;DR: The governing equations of motion are used in a simulation of the manipulator at hand for both rigid and flexible-link models to highlight the link flexibility effect.

Application of numerical simulation in the bending of aluminium-alloy profiles

TL;DR: In this paper, the applicability of using the general purpose software MARC K5.2 in analysing industrial rotary draw bending and stretch bending is determined. But the main focus is placed on the effects of material behaviour, slenderness of cross-sectional members, and die geometry on geometrical tolerances.

By-example synthesis of structurally sound patterns

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel formulation for on-surface by-example texture synthesis that directly works in a voxel shell around the surface, enabling efficient local updates to the pattern, letting the structural optimizer perform changes that improve the overall rigidity of the pattern.

Finite Element Investigation of Quasi-Static Crack Growth in Functionally Graded Materials Using a Novel Cohesive Zone Fracture Model

TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological cohesive fracture model is proposed to control the transition of fracture behavior between the constituents of a TiB/Ti FGM, and the model is applied to analyze crack growth in compact tension, C(T), and single-edge notch bend, SE(B).

Active wing flutter suppression using a trailing edge flap

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the aerodynamic behavior of a thin rectangular wing with a controllable trailing edge flap, and the problem of maximizing closed-loop modal damping with constraints on actuator performance was solved for a sequence of flow speeds.
