This paper presents the stiffness characteristics of a three-prismatic-universal–universal (3-PUU) translational parallel kinematic machine (PKM). The stiffness matrix is derived intuitively based upon an alternative approach considering actuations and constraints, and the compliances subject to both actuators and legs are involved in the stiffness model. The stiffness performance of the manipu...

KEY POINTS This paper describes a novel model that allows exploration of matrix-induced cardiomyocyte adaptations independent of the passive effect of matrix rigidity on cardiomyocyte function. Detachment of adult cardiomyocytes from the matrix enables the study of matrix effects on cell shortening, Ca2+ handling and myofilament function. Cell shortening and Ca2+ handling are altered in cardiom...

Matrix stiffening is a prominent feature of pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we demonstrate that matrix stiffness regulates the ability of fibrotic lung myofibroblasts to invade the basement membrane (BM). We identify α6-integrin as a mechanosensing integrin subunit that mediates matrix stiffness-regulated myofibroblast invasion. Increasing α6-expression, specifically the B isoform (α6B), cou...

The finite element method (FEM) has several computational steps to numerically solve a particular problem, to which many efforts have been directed to accelerate the solution stage of the linear system of equations. However, the finite element matrix construction, which is also time-consuming for unstructured meshes, has been less investigated. The generation of the global finite element matrix...

Recently, we proposed an algebraic difference scheme, with extended stability properties, for linear boundary value problems involving stiff differential equations of first order. Here, an efficient approximation scheme is presented for matrix square roots, which provides the stabilization of that scheme in case of stiffness. It combines the use of low-rank matrix approximations from projection...

One of the important issues in the study of steel frames is to find a suitable formulation for semi-rigid connections. In this paper, the explicit stiffness matrix for a two-dimensional beam-column element having end-flexibilities is derived. The effects of the lateral uniformly distributed load on the deflection are considered. Both tensile and compressive axial loads are also taken into accou...

BACKGROUND A number of adhesion-mediated signaling pathways and cell-cycle events have been identified that regulate cell proliferation, yet studies to date have been unable to determine which of these pathways control mitogenesis in response to physiologically relevant changes in tissue elasticity. In this report, we use hydrogel-based substrata matched to biological tissue stiffness to invest...

In this study, a method is proposed to determine the fundamental period of layered soil profiles. A model considering the layered soil as shear type structure is used. At first, the soil profile is divided into substructures. Then, the stiffness matrices of the substructures considered as the equivalent shear structures are assembled according to the Finite Element Method. Thereinafter, the sti...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess extremely high stiffness, strength and resilience, and may provide the ultimate reinforcing material for the development of nanocomposites. Evaluating the effective elastic properties of such nanoscale materials is a difficult task. Modelings and simulations using continuum mechanics models can play significant roles in this development. In this paper, the nanost...

The paper addresses a problem of the manipulator stiffness modeling, which is extremely important for the precise manufacturing of contemporary aeronautic materials where the machining force causes significant compliance errors in the robot end-effector position. The main contributions are in the area of the elastostatic parameters identification. Particular attention is paid to the practical i...
