In his decades-long career in tech journalism, Dennis has written about nearly every type of hardware and software. He was a founding editor of Ziff Davis’ Computer Select in the 1990s, senior ...

GXBeam is a pure Julia implementation of Geometrically Exact Beam Theory, originally based on the open source code GEBT and its associated papers[1] [2], though it has since been augmented with a ...

Building frames can be analyzed by various methods such as force method, displacement method, and approximate method. The method of analysis to adopt depends upon the types of frame, its configuration ...

Tensegrity structures are geometric nonlinear systems and statically and kinematically indeterminate structures that require an initial shape-finding procedure to establish a self-equilibrium state.

Some types of dynamic stiffness, such as the dynamic ground stiffness used in soil-structure interaction analyses and the viscoelastic body used in vibration control systems, have strong frequency ...

Aiming at the situation that the structural parameters of the general manipulators are uncertain, a time-varying impedance controller based on model reference adaptive control (MRAC) is proposed in ...

A structure that fails at large loads is expected to be dense and stiff. This is because in conventional materials failure load depends directly on stiffness and density. This paper shows that the ...

Different types of frame structures are available that have been used in building construction. They are classified into two major types namely rigid frame structure and braced frame structure. These ...
