If we look on large enough scales, matter should be distributed evenly, with no preferred direction within the cosmos. This is known as the cosmological principle.

Abstract: Flexible joints are the integral drive and control components for manipulators in interaction applications. Ensuring optimal performance while implementing torque control is crucial to ...

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a group of metallic alloys capable of sustaining large inelastic strains that can be recovered when subjected to a specific process between two distinct phases.

Traditional MR seat suspension without stiffness control is not able to avoid the resonance between the excitation and the seat, though it can dampen the vibration energy. To solve this problem, this ...

It may be hard to believe, but most mechanical engineers designing your cars have no clue how to fix them. That's because engineering and automotive repair are two very separate entities. Here's the ...

The mesoscopic constitutive behavior of face-centered cubic metals as a function of the system characteristic dimension recently has been investigated experimentally. Strong size effects have been ...
