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.

Bisector and zero-macrospin co-rotational systems for shell elements [PDF]
, 2015 A principal issue in any co-rotational approach for large displacement analysis of plates and shells is associated with the specific choice of the local reference system in relation to the current deformed element configuration.

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 ...

Dynamics of a Monolayer of Microspheres on an Elastic Substrate [PDF]
, 2015 We present a model for wave propagation in a monolayer of spheres on an elastic substrate. The model, which considers sagittally polarized waves, includes: horizontal, vertical, and rotational degrees of freedom; normal and shear coupling between the ...

Spectral Assessment of the Effects of Base Flexibility on Seismic Demands of a Structure
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2016 Base flexibility of structures changes and can increase the demands on structural elements during earthquake excitation. Such flexibility may come from the base connection, foundation, and soil under the foundation. This research evaluates the effects of
