The finite element method is a powerful numerical technique that is used in all major engineering industries - in this video we'll explore how it works. We'll look at why it's useful to split the body ...

Whole-body control (WBC) systems represent a wide range of complex movement skills in the form of low-dimensional task descriptors which are projected on to the robot’s actuator space. Using these ...

This letter describes a synthesis method for wideband bandpass filters (BPFs) that uses an optimized matrix scaling technique for direct circuit implementation. The method commences with constructing ...

There has been some recent interest in the problem of designing compliance mechanisms with a given spatial stiffness matrix. A key result that has proven useful in the design of such mechanisms is ...

The expressions for element stiffness matrix, K3ei and non-equilibrium force vector, P3ei and for this atomic three node finite element are obtained by substituting the expression for the bonding ...

Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness is a key stimulus affecting cellular differentiation, and osteoblasts are also in a three-dimensional (3D) stiff environment during the formation of bone tissues.

The detail formulation of this element which leads to generation of its stiffness matrix in explicit form is presented hereafter. As depicted in Figure 2, Formulation of the thin-layer interface ...

This paper provides a novel unified method, termed the unified computational method (UCM), for calculating the static responses of uniform Euler–Bernoulli beams with arbitrary external loads and ...
