We study a mathematical model of hinged flexible beam with piezoelectric actuators and electromagnetic shaker in this paper. The is modelled as mass spring system attached to the beam. To analyze free vibrations mechanical system, we consider corresponding spectral problem for fourth-order differential operator interface conditions that characterize dynamics. characteristic equation studied ana...

In this study, an impact behavior of spherical striker on a double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) is presented based on a three degree of freedom spring-mass model and the finite element (FE) simulations. The semi-analytical solution of the transverse impact of a striker on a DWCNT is investigated by using the elasticity nonlocal theory of Euler-Bernoulli (EBT) and Timoshenko (TBT) nanobeams. T...

A force feedback system, such as the haptic wheel used in the EECS 461 lab, is capable of exhibiting a wide range of interesting phenomena. It is useful to remember that the system consists of a mechanical device (the wheel in our case), with two feedback loops wrapped around it. As shown in Figure 1, one feedback loop consists of (i) a sensor such as an encoder, tachometer, or strain gauge, (i...

This paper presents how to design and implement a simple mass/spring system on a general-purpose topological structure. This way, topological inquiries or changes can be handled robustly so that the mesh remains consistent and a manifold.

Modeling a system means developing mathematical representation to simulate certain properties observed in real systems. These systems can range from car suspension the most complex robotics. In modern mechanical engineering, it is routine model physical dynamic as set of differential equations that will later be simulated using computer. This Use software for numerical analysis and qualitative ...

A fast and efficient deformation model is essential for realistic simulation of image morphing. In order to create models that are fast to simulation, we use a mass-spring system, which is applied widely in the real time animation of deformable objects. One-to-one deformation is one of the important issues in image morphing. We propose a method of detecting and removing overlaps in the process ...

The paper describes a novel multi-resolution registration method. It is fast, robust and offers high registration accuracy. The algorithm models deformations using an elastic spring mass system, which contains sparse masses interconnected by springs. The proposed method uses data intensity values to guide deformation with local constraints imposed by interaction of interconnecting springs. More...

The equations of planar motion of a mass attached to two anchored massless springs form a symmetric Hamiltonian system. The system has a single dimensionless parameter L, corresponding to the spacing between the anchors. For L > 1, there is a stable equilibrium at which the springs are in tension and lie on a line, but for L < 1, this equilibrium has both springs in compression, and is unstable...
