A Constrained Lagrange Formulation of Multilink Planar Flexible Manipulator
TL;DR: In this paper, the closed-form dynamic equations of planar flexible link manipulators (FLMs), with revolute joints and constant cross sections, are derived combining Lagrange's equations and the assumed mode shape method.
Dissertation
Fatigue analysis and testing of wind turbine blades
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on fatigue analysis and testing of large, multi MW wind turbine blades, and propose a method to obtain the resonant test configuration that will result in the optimum mode shapes for the flapwise and edgewise directions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Construction of Customized Mass-Stiffness Pairs using Templates
TL;DR: Templates have the virtue of producing a set of mass matrices that satisfy certain a priori constraint conditions such as symmetry, nonnegativity, invariance, and momentum conservation as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Free vibrations of finite element plates subjected to complex middle plane force systems
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element method is presented for free vibration analysis of thin plates subjected to complex force systems applied in the middle-plane of the plate, where the equation of motion is characterized by the basic stiffness, consistent mass, and incremental stiffness matrices.
