Energy-based and force-based approaches are two basic ways to establish an adhesion model. For the adhesion of tape-like thin films, the Kendall equation considers the overall energy balance but ...
Forces may change the shape of an object. An elastic object, such as a spring, stores elastic potential energy when stretched or squashed. The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional ...
Centre for Design Innovation, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia. [2] [3] , where is the transformed force, is the transformed deflection of solid’s centre of mass (COM), s is ...
Abstract: Dynamic locomotion of a quadruped robot, ensuring stability and agility, is crucial for practical use. Our research group has devised an elastic leg mechanism inspired by the muscle-tendon ...
The dynamic complexity and individualization of running biomechanics has challenged the development of objective and comparative gait measures. Here, we present and explore several novel biomechanical ...
EZbolt is a Python program that calculates bolt forces in a bolt group subject to shear and in-plane torsion. It does so using both the Elastic Method and the Instant Center of Rotation (ICR) method ...
