Efficient computation of inverse dynamics and feedback linearization for VSA-based robots [PDF]
, 2016 We develop a recursive numerical algorithm to compute the inverse dynamics of robot manipulators with an arbitrary number of joints, driven by variable stiffness actuation (VSA) of the antagonistic type.

Buckling Cascade of Thin Plates: Forms, Constraints and Similarity [PDF]
, 1999 We experimentally study compression of thin plates in rectangular boxes with variable height. A cascade of buckling is generated. It gives rise to a self-similar evolution of elastic reaction of plates with box height which surprisingly exhibits ...

Variable Volumetric Stiffness Fluid Mount Design
Shock and Vibration, 2004 Passive fluid mounts are commonly used in the automotive and aerospace applications to isolate the cabin from the engine noise and vibration. Due to manufacturing and material variabilities, no two identical fluid mount designs act the same.

A Stiffness-Adjustable Hyperredundant Manipulator Using a Variable Neutral-Line Mechanism for Minimally Invasive Surgery [PDF]
, 2013 In robotic single-port surgery, it is desirable for a manipulator to exhibit the property of variable stiffness. Small-port incisions may require both high flexibility of the manipulator for safety purposes, as well as high structural stiffness for ...

Dynamic response of a damaging masonry wall [PDF]
, 2017 A nonlocal damage-plastic model is adopted to describe the nonlinear structural response of masonry structures. The model, based on a macromechanical approach, accounts for strength and stiffness degradation with hysteretic dissipation typically ...

Stiffness modeling of a variable stiffness compliant link
Mechanism and Machine Theory, 2020 Abstract Recently, a variable stiffness robotic link based on the rotating beam concept has been developed for applications in physical human robot interaction. A substantial challenge for design of such links is the modeling of stiffness behavior to permit stiffness control.

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.

Concept for design of variable stiffness damper [PDF]
, 1967 Damping mechanism, containing polymeric-like materials is applicable to a wide range of shock and vibration. The polymeric-like material changes from a relatively stiff material to a relatively soft, rubbery material in the region of their glass ...
