Abstract: Flexure hinge-based compliant mechanisms find extensive applications in micro/nano actuation, where their transmission characteristics are significantly affected by stiffness. Traditional ...

Carbon is pretty much the number one material of choice when it comes to mainstream frame construction and as such there are an awful lot of carbon bike frames out there and there's no one 'best ...

Background Congenital aortic stenosis (ConAoS) accounts for approximately 4%–8% of all congenital heart diseases. Chronic ...

Discover how event studies assess the impact of significant events on stock values and enhance investment strategies through empirical analysis techniques.

Abstract: Studying the amplification behavior of sedimentary basin regions often requires large-scale numerical simulations and repeated runs with varying source configurations, making computational ...

The cardiovascular impact of cannabis use is incompletely understood. Although evidence links chronic use to an increased risk of disease and adverse cardiovascular events, few studies have ...

Ask the publishers to restore access to 500,000+ books. An icon used to represent a menu that can be toggled by interacting with this icon. A line drawing of the Internet Archive headquarters building ...

Introduction: Pathologic vertebral fractures are devastating for patients with spinal metastases. However, the mechanical process underlying these fractures is poorly understood, limiting physician’s ...

This study identifies non-homogeneous stiffnesses in a non-destructive manner from simulated noisy measurements of a structural response. The finite element method serves as a discretization for the ...

Lightweight design of leaf springs is conducive to reducing fuel consumption and improving vehicle comfort. The weight of leaf spring can be reduced obviously by using composite material. Stiffness ...
