New Method for Large Deflection Analysis of an Elliptic Plate Weakened by an Eccentric Circular Hole
The bending analysis of moderately thick elliptic plates weakened by an eccentric circular hole has been investigated in this article. The nonlinear governing equations have been presented by considering the von-Karman assumptions and the first-order shear deformation theory in cylindrical coordinates system. Semi-analytical polynomial method (SAPM) which had been presented by the author before...
متن کاملArea-constrained planar elastica.
We determine the equilibria of a rigid loop in the plane, subject to the constraints of fixed length and fixed enclosed area. Rigidity is characterized by an energy functional quadratic in the curvature of the loop. We find that the area constraint gives rise to equilibria with remarkable geometrical properties; not only can the Euler-Lagrange equation be integrated to provide a quadrature for ...
متن کاملLarge Deflection Dynamics and Control for Planar Continuum Robots
This paper focuses on a class of robot manipulators termed “continuum” robots—robots that exhibit behavior similar to tentacles, trunks, and snakes. In previous work, we studied details of the mechanical design, kinematics, path-planning and small-deflection dynamics for continuum robots such as the Clemson “Tentacle Manipulator.” In this paper, we discuss the dynamics of a planar continuum bac...
متن کاملA simple method for determining serum copper.
The determination of serum copper is of value in a number of metabolic studies, particularly in the investigation of the anemia of chronic infection. Presented here, together with illustrative data, is a method for determining copper in serum, based on the direct extraction of copper carbamate from serum with isoamyl alcohol. Burch et aa. in their method for serum iron have demonstrated that su...
متن کاملIneffective perturbations in a planar elastica
The bifurcation diagram for the buckling of a planar elastica under a load λ is made up of a “trivial” branch of unbuckled configurations for all λ and a sequence of branches of buckled configurations that are connected to the trivial branch at pitchfork bifurcation points. We use several perturbation expansions to determine how this diagram perturbs with the addition of a small intrinsic shape...
