Influence of rotary flexibility of joints on the statics and dynamics of the arch structures [PDF]
Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences: Technical Sciences, 2023 The paper presents arch structures modeled by finite elements in which the nodes can be flexibly connected. Two-node curved elements with three degrees of freedom at each node were used.

Modelling, simulation and experiment of the spherical flexible joint stiffness [PDF]
Mechanical Sciences, 2018 The spherical flexible joint is extensively used in engineering. It is designed to provide flexibility in rotation while bearing vertical compression load. The linear rotational stiffness of the flexible joint is formulated.

Passive Stiffness of Coupled Wrist and Forearm Rotations
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2014 Coordinated movement requires that the neuromuscular system account and compensate for movement dynamics. One particularly complex aspect of movement dynamics is the interaction that occurs between degrees of freedom (DOF), which may be caused by inertia, damping, and/or stiffness. During wrist rotations, the two DOF of the wrist (flexion-extension and

A Measurement Device for Rotational Stiffness of the Eye [PDF]
Journal of Medical Devices, 2008 Objective: A measurement of rotational stiffness of the human eye is necessary, without exerting forces to the eye. Background: Strabismus is a disorder in which the visual axes of the eyes are misaligned. In strabismus surgery, the muscles that drive the eye are altered to compensate for the deviating angle of the eye.

Infinitely stiff composite via a rotation-stabilized negative-stiffness phase [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2011 We show that an elastic composite material having a component with sufficiently negative stiffness to produce positive-infinite composite stiffness can be stabilized by the gyroscopic forces produced by composite rotation.

Influence of the column web panel behaviour on the characteristics of a beam-to-column joint
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2013 The paper reviews the importance of evaluation of actual joint behaviour during the design and manufacture of frame construction. The authors applied the component method, which is used in Eurocode 3.
