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.

Rotational Stiffness of Timber-to-Timber Connections with Self-Tapping axially loaded Screws
, 2023 Self-tapping axially loaded screws provide high load-carrying capacity and great stiffness. Due to these advantages, they were preferably applied to realise connections for tension members.

Stress rotation – impact and interaction of rock stiffness and faults [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2021 Abstract. It has been assumed that the orientation of the maximum horizontal compressive stress (SHmax) in the upper crust is governed on a regional scale by the same forces that drive plate motion. However, several regions are identified where stress orientation deviates from the expected orientation due to plate boundary forces (first-order stress ...
