Compliant mechanisms are commonly used in precision engineering while analyzing their deflection is particularly challenging. Often, FEM simulations chosen an iterative process. Analytical approaches that consider pure bending, shear or other effects usually limited to the mechanism as a system. However, certain configurations comprise compliant elements with different aspect ratios. The aim of...

In this paper we derive the linear elastic Cosserat shell model incorporating in variational problem effects up to order $O(h^{5})$ thickness $h$ as a particular case of recently introduced geometrically nonlinear model. The existence and uniqueness solution is proven suitable admissible sets. To end, inequalities Korn-type for shells are established which allow show coercivity Lax-Milgram theo...

A method for estimating the current flowing through a non-linear power inductor operating in DC/DC converter is proposed. The knowledge of such current, that cannot be calculated closed form as linear inductor, crucial design converter. proposed based on third-order polynomial model already developed by authors; it exploited to solve differential equation and implement flux circuit simulator. a...

Phenotypic differences in analgesic sensitivity to codeine (3-methoxymorphine) results from polymorphisms in cytochrome P450-2D6, which catalyzes O-demethylation of codeine to morphine. However, O-demethylation reportedly is not required for analgesic activity of the 7,8-saturated codeine congeners dihydrocodeine, hydrocodone, and oxycodone. This study determined the potency and efficacy of the...
