Web rotational stiffness of continuous steel-concrete composite castellated beams
Continuous composite beams can present a global instability known as lateral distortional buckling (LDB). The design code EN 1994-1-1:2004 provides a procedure for the verification of this ultimate limit state, in which the resistant bending moment is ...

A novel energy-efficient rotational variable stiffness actuator
This paper presents the working principle, the design and realization of a novel rotational variable stiffness actuator, whose stiffness can be varied independently of its output angular position. This actuator is energy-efficient, meaning that the stiffness of the actuator can be varied by keeping constant the internal stored energy of the actuator ...

Phase Field Failure Modeling: Brittle‐Ductile Dual‐Phase Microstructures under Compressive Loading
The approach by Amor and the approach by Miehe and Zhang for asymmetric damage behavior in the phase field method for fracture are compared regarding their fitness for microcrack‐based failure modeling. The comparison is performed for the case of a dual‐phase microstructure with a brittle and a ductile constituent.

Numerical Analysis of the Rotational Magnetic Springs for EDS Maglev Train
Different from the traditional railway trains, the combined levitation and guidance EDS maglev train is more likely to rotate after being disturbed. Therefore, the rotational electromagnetic stiffnesses are significant operating parameters for the train.

Modeling Stiffness and Damping in Rotational Degrees of Freedom Using Multibond Graphs [PDF]
A contribution is proposed for the modeling of mechanical systems using multibond graphs. When modeling a physical system, it may be needed to catch the dynamic behavior contribution of the joints between bodies of the system and therefore to ...

Absence of Phase Stiffness in the Quantum Rotor Phase Glass
We analyze here the consequence of local rotational-symmetry breaking in the quantum spin (or phase) glass state of the quantum random rotor model. By coupling the spin glass order parameter directly to a vector potential, we are able to compute whether ...

Constructing minimum deflection fixture arrangements using frame invariant norms [PDF]
This paper describes a fixture planning method that minimizes object deflection under external loads. The method takes into account the natural compliance of the contacting bodies and applies to two-dimensional and three-dimensional quasirigid bodies ...
