Parkinson’s disease is caused by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, originating in the substantia nigra pars compacta and characterised by bradykinesia, rest tremor and rigidity. In addition, ...

One of the major sources of stress arising in turbomachinery blades are the centrifugal loads acting at any section of the airfoil. Accounting for this phenomenon stress evaluation of the blade ...

The structural health monitoring (SHM) of wind turbine blades is crucial for early failure identification, which subsequently reduces maintenance costs and ensures reliable operation in both onshore ...

In a recent article published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers developed a standardized file format for atomic force microscopy (AFM) data that would harmonize AFM outputs with the ...

Abstract: In this study, we propose an analysis method to evaluate the relationship between the body shape and joint loads of a snake-like robot when a load is applied to the head. A snake-like robot ...

Abstract: A single silicon island concave silicon microresonant pressure sensor based on frequency difference is proposed in this article. The resonator is designed for electrostatic drive and ...

To illustrate how you can simulate abrupt structural discontinuities, consider a cantilever beam with a joint or splice simulated with a rotational spring. For this simple example, there are generally ...
