Finite Element Method-Based Kinematics and Closed-Loop Control of Soft, Continuum Manipulators.
Thor Morales Bieze,Frederick Largilliere,Alexandre Kruszewski,Zhongkai Zhang,Rochdi Merzouki,Christian Duriez +5 more
TL;DR: A real-time numerical integration strategy based on finite element method with a numerical optimization based on Lagrange multipliers to obtain FKM and IKM to obtain soft manipulators that create motion by deformation, as opposed to the classical use of articulations.

Crack band model of fracture in irregular lattices
Stefano Berton,John E. Bolander +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an irregular lattice model is used to simulate mode I fracture in softening materials, such as concrete, where the material is viewed as homogeneous and the energy dissipation mechanisms active at finer scales are lumped into a cohesive crack relation.

Structural optimization for joined-wing synthesis
John W. Gallman,Ilan Kroo +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate two structural design methods for application in an aircraft synthesis code and quantifies the differences between these methods for joined wings in terms of weight, stress, direct operating cost, and computational time.

Numerical-Perturbation Method for the Nonlinear Analysis of Structural Vibrations
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical perturbation method is proposed for the determination of the nonlinear forced response of structural elements when modal interactions take place due to the complicated nature of the response.
