Static Modeling of Sagging Cables with Flexural Rigidity and Shear Forces [PDF]
Cables are considered perfectly flexible in the classic model-ing without flexural rigidity and with purely tangential cable forces. In this paper, a static modeling of cables is presented where flexural rigidity and shear forces are considered. The calculation details are presented with and without considering the axial extensibility of cables for ...

Statics Analysis and Optimization Design for a Fixed-Guided Beam Flexure
The ratchet mechanism has been used to ensure moving in one direction of rotation, i.e. either clockwise or counterclockwise. This mechanism is designed based on fixed-guided beam flexures to reduce friction and improves accuracy compared to the traditional mechanism. This paper presents a static analysis and parameter optimization for the fixed-guided

Inverse Static Analysis of a Planar System With Flexural Pivots
This article presents the inverse static analysis of a two degrees of freedom planar mechanism with flexural pivots. Such analysis aims to detect the entire set of equilibrium configurations of the system once the external load is assigned. The presence of flexural pivots represents a novelty, although it remarkably complicates the problem since it ...

Static flexural modes and piezoelectricity in 2D and layered crystals [PDF]
AbstractPiezo‐ and flexoelectricity are manifestations of electromechanical coupling in solids with potential applications in nanoscale materials. Naumov et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 217601 (2009)] have shown by first principles calculations that a monolayer BN sheet becomes macroscopically polarized in‐plane when in a corrugated state.

Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Short Columns Subjected to Freeze–Thaw Cycles
Previous research shows that freeze−thaw cycles represent one of the most dangerous threats to reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, there is almost no experimental data on the effects of freeze−thaw cycles on the seismic behavior of ...

Static and Motional Feedthrough Capacitance of Flexural Microresonator [PDF]
The present paper evaluates the static and motional feedthrough capacitance of a silicon carbide-based flexural-mode microelectromechanical system resonator. The static feedthrough capacitance was measured by a network analyzer under atmospheric pressure.
