Synthesis of Path Generation Compliant Mechanisms Using Variable Width Spline Curves
Volume 4A: Dynamics, Vibration, and Control, 2014Path generation is to guide a point tracing a prescribed path. Compliant mechanisms (CMs) have been synthesized for path generation mechanisms. In this paper, each connection in a synthesized CM is represented as a variable width spline curve and the entire synthesized CM is modeled as a set of variable width spline curves.

Space discretization by B-Splines on discontinuous problems in structural mechanics
Proceedings of the 7th Balkan Conference on Informatics Conference, 2015Elastic structures with material or geometrical discontinuities often appear among engineering applications. The appropriate usage of space discretization functions is essential for deriving mathematical models with sufficient accuracy. In the current work, a beam with stoppers is considered as an example of elastic structure with discontinuities.

Spline-Galerkin Method for Solving Some Quantum Mechanic Integral Equations
1985The Schrodinger equation is the fundamental equation that describes the nonrelativistic motion of particles in quantum mechanics. The Schrodinger equation, together with appropriate boundary conditions, can be written as an integral equation of the second kind.

Integration of geometric design and mechanical analysis using B‐spline functions on surface
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2005AbstractB‐spline finite element method which integrates geometric design and mechanical analysis of shell structures is presented. To link geometric design and analysis modules completely, the non‐periodic cubic B‐spline functions are used for the description of geometry and for the displacement interpolation function in the formulation of an ...

Optimal synthesis of a spring-actuated cam mechanism using a cubic spline
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 2002This paper presents the optimal synthesis for a cam with non-constant angular velocity based on the dynamic model of a complete spring-actuated cam system. In order to satisfy asymmetric constraints and guarantee continuous contact at the cam-follower interface, the follower motion, which is dependent on the requirements during the closing period of a

NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS OF QUANTUM MECHANICAL PROBLEMS USING THE BASIS-SPLINE COLLOCATION METHOD
International Journal of Modern Physics C, 2001The time-dependent and time-independent Schrödinger equations have been numerically solved for several quantum mechanical problems with known analytical solutions using the basis-spline collocation algorithm. This algorithm has been demonstrated to be efficient and versatile.

Effects of dimensional errors on compliant mechanisms performance by using dynamic splines
Mechanism and Machine Theory, 2013Abstract The paper deals with the description of a methodology for investigating the effects of the dimensional errors on the performance of compliant assemblies in order to perform an optimal allocation of tolerances. The proposed approach is based on the modeling of flexible elements using the dynamic spline formulation which is able to take into ...
