Using nodal coordinates as variables for the dimensional synthesis of mechanisms
(Springer, 2018-06)
The method of the lower deformation energy has been successfully used for the synthesis of mechanisms for quite a while. It has shown to be a versatile, yet powerful method for assisting in the design of mechanisms. Until ...
An efficient LDU algorithm for the minimal least squares solution of linear systems
(Elsevier, 2018-12-15)
The minimal least squares solutions is a topic of interest due to the broad range of applications of this problem. Although it can be obtained from other algorithms, such as the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) or the ...
Static structural behaviour of wire bearings: comparison with conventional bearings and study of design and operational parameters
(Elsevier, 2018-10-28)
In wire bearings the rolling process occurs on raceways machined on steel wires, and the rings are
made of light materials such as aluminium. This particular architecture provides both weight and
inertia savings, but ...
An engineering approach for the estimation of slewing bearing stiffness in Wind Turbine Generators
(Wiley, 2018-11-30)
The stiffness of yaw and pitch slewing bearings has a critical influence on the structural
behaviour of Wind Turbine Generators. Thus, it is commonly required by designers for
their simulations to estimate deformations ...
Efficient assembly of bolted joints under external loads using numerical FEM
(Elsevier, 2018-05-16)
Several factors can cause leakages in a bolted flange connection, external loads being the
most important one. External loads such as those produced by misalignment introduce an
external axial load combined with a bending ...
