When computer-aided engineering (CAE) methods became available for design work in the 1980s, finite element analysis (FEA) was the first to be widely adopted. Over the years, it's helped design ...

THE rigid-body motions proposed by Born 1 and Herglotz 2 have, in general, only three degrees of freedom, so that the world line of one point determines the complete motion. My purpose here is to ...

The construction of space curves with rational rotation-minimizing frames (RRMF curves) by the interpolation of G 1 Hermite data, i.e., initial/final points p i and p f and frames (t i , u i , v i ) ...

In a homework problem for this course, students are asked to consider the motion of a system made up of a plate (having a mass of m) which is pinned to a cart B (having a mass of M) at corner O. The ...
