Simulation of Flexible-Link Manipulators With Inertial and Geometric Nonlinearities
TL;DR: In this article, a complete model incorporating all inertial terms that couple rigid-body and elastic motions is presented along with a rational scheme for classifying them and the issue of geometric nonlinearities is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of contact wire pre-sag on the dynamics of pantograph–railway catenary
TL;DR: In this article, a modified single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) dynamic system with a time-varying stiffness was presented to include the pre-sag influence on the dynamic interaction of the pantograph and the railway catenary.

Shape functions of three-dimensional Timoshenko beam element
TL;DR: In this paper, the shape functions of two-dimensional Timoshenko and three-dimensional Euler-Bernoulli (EB) beam elements were extended to a 3-dimensional EB element, where a change of sign is required in those entries of the third column of the shape function matrix which correspond to the twist vectors.

Reproducing kernel element method Part II: Globally conforming Im/Cn hierarchies
TL;DR: This is the first interpolation hierarchical structure that has been constructed with both minimal degrees of freedom and higher order smoothness or continuity over multi-dimensional domain, and possesses the generalized Kronecker property.

An improved two-node finite element for stability and natural frequencies of axial-loaded Timoshenko beams
TL;DR: In this article, the linear flexural stiffness, incremental stiffness, mass, and consistent force matrices for a simple two-node Timoshenko beam element are developed based upon Hamilton's principle, where interdependent cubic and quadratic polynomials are used for the transverse and rotational displacements, respectively.
