Self-filtering oscillations in carbon nanotube hetero-junctions.

TL;DR: The vibrational properties of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) hetero-junction (HJ) oscillators are evaluated using a hybrid atomistic-continuum approach validated by molecular mechanics/molecular dynamics simulations and show a broken symmetry topology of their mode shapes.

A planar flexible robotic manipulator

TL;DR: The dynamic model becomes necessary for use in future design and control applications of a flexible robotic manipulator with two flexible links and two revolute joints, which rotates in the horizontal plane.

Dynamic finite element formulations for moderately thick plate vibrations based on the modified Mindlin theory

TL;DR: In this article, the modified Mindlin theory is used for the construction of the dynamic stiffness matrix, the flexibility matrix, and the transfer matrix of a thick plate simply supported at two opposite edges.

Effect of axial force on framework dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the member axial forces on the free and forced vibration of a set of single beams, a three story and a sixteen story frame are considered as example problems.

A closed-form nonlinear model for spatial Timoshenko beam flexure hinge with circular cross-section

TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear model for uniform and circular cross-section spatial beam flexure hinges which are commonly employed in compliant parallel mechanisms is presented. And the resulting end load displacement model, which is compact and closed-form, is proved to be accurate for both slender and thick beam flexures using nonlinear finite element analysis.
