Improved Indentation Test for Measuring Nonlinear Elasticity

open access: yes, 2004
A cylindrical-punch indentation technique has been developed as a means of measuring the nonlinear elastic responses of materials -- more specifically, for measuring the moduli of elasticity of materials in cases in which these moduli vary with applied ...

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.

Analysis of large elastic-plastic deformations: Integration algorithm and numerical examples

open access: yesУчёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Физико-математические науки, 2017
An algorithm for investigation of elastic-plastic solids with regard to finite deformations has been developed. The kinematics of elastic-plastic deformations is based on multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and inelastic

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Frequency sweep rate and amplitude influence on nonlinear acoustic measurements

open access: yes, 2006
When subjecting a solid material to acoustic excitation with varying amplitude and sweep rate, the frequency shift response is not always behaving linear with amplitude.
