ABSTRACT: The behavior of beams with variable stiffness subjected to the action of variable loadings (impulse or harmonic) is analyzed in this paper using the successive approximation method. This ...

Abstract: Quasi-zero stiffness MEMS accelerometers can achieve high-resolution through enhanced sensitivity, but their dynamic range is typically limited. In this work, we propose a quasi-zero ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel near-zero stiffness MEMS accelerometer, based on a dual nonlinear curved beams anti-spring mechanism. The mechanism consists of two nonlinear curved beams ...

A cellular beam is a type of alveolar beam that is manufactured through three main steps: (1) make double longitudinal cuts in the web of regular I-section beams; (2) separate two web parts and ...

Explain fundamental concepts: Understand the principles of mechanics of materials, including stress, strain, elasticity, and deformation. Analyze structural behavior: Analyze structural and material ...
