This paper discusses the application of Castigliano's Theorem to a half circular beam intended for use as a shaped, tunable, passively compliant robot leg. We present closed-form equations characterizing the deflection behavior of the beam (whose compliance properties vary along the leg) under appropriate loads. We compare the accuracy of this analytical representation to that of a Pseudo Rigid Body (PRB) approximation in predicting the data obtained by measuring the deflection of a physical half-circular beam under the application of known static loads. We briefly discuss the further application of the new model for solving the dynamic equations of a hexapod robot with a C-shaped leg.

The effects of tine coupling and geometrical imperfections on the response of DETF resonators Azgın, Kıvanç (IOP Publishing, 2013-12-01) This paper presents a two-degree-of-freedom analytical model for the electromechanical response of double ended tuning fork (DETF) force sensors. The model describes the mechanical interaction between the tines and allows investigation of the effect of a number of asymmetries, in tine stiffness, mass, electromechanical parameters and load sharing between the tines. These asymmetries are introduced during fabrication (e. g., as a result of undercut) and are impossible to completely eliminate in a practical d...
Measurement of the azimuthal ordering of charged hadrons with the ATLAS detector Aad, G.; et. al. (2012-09-14) This paper presents a study of the possible ordering of charged hadrons in the azimuthal angle relative to the beam axis in high-energy proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A spectral analysis of correlations between longitudinal and transverse components of the momentum of the charged hadrons, driven by the search for phenomena related to the structure of the QCD field, is performed. Data were recorded with the ATLAS detector at center-of-mass energies of root s = 900 GeV and root s...
Solution of the dynamic frictional contact problem between a functionally graded coating and a moving cylindrical punch BALCI, MEHMET NURULLAH; Dağ, Serkan (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01) This paper presents an analytical method developed to investigate the dynamic frictional contact mechanics between a functionally graded coating and a rigid moving cylindrical punch. Governing partial differential equations of elastodynamics are solved analytically by applying Galilean and Fourier transformations. Interface continuity and boundary conditions are written and contact problem is then reduced to a singular integral equation of the second kind. The singular integral equation is solved numericall...
A constitutive model for finite deformation of amorphous polymers FLEISCHHAUER, R.; Dal, Hüsnü; KALISKE, M.; SCHNEIDER, K. (2012-12-01) The paper introduces a three-dimensional constitutive model for the mechanical behavior of amorphous polymers, thermosets and thermoplastics. The approach is formulated in terms of finite deformations, appropriate for glassy polymers. The rheology of the model consists of a Langevin-type free energy function for the energy storage due to molecular alignment connected in parallel to a Maxwell element with a viscoplastic dashpot. The model proves successful for the constitutive description of glassy polymers ...
Modeling of inelastic behavior of curved members with a mixed formulation beam element Sarıtaş, Afşin (Elsevier BV, 2009-04-01) The curved beam element in this paper is based on Hu-Washizu variational principle. The nonlinear response of the element arises from the integration of stress-strain relations over several control sections along the element length. The finite element approximation for the beam uses shape functions for stress resultants that satisfy equilibrium and discontinuous strains along the beam. No approximation for the beam displacement field is necessary in the formulation. The proposed element is free from membran...
