Search-based real-time prediction of CAE solutions
Flexible hoses and cables are important components in the construction of an automobile. When designing a vehicle, it is vital to know the shape that a flexible component will take between its two endpoints. Incorrect information regarding hose routings can lead to shortened component lifespans and …

Development and Analyses of a New Ideal Finishing Appliance
… mean force and displacement of 1 mm. for each flexible component were quantitated individually while all other flexible components were in a passive bracket position to see if the force magnitude to each tooth was constructed properly. Various hypothetical situation were quantitated. Unilateral …

Dynamics and Control of Flexible Aircraft
… the disciplines pertinent to the flight of flexible aircraft, namely, analytical dynamics, structural dynamics, aerodynamics and controls. The unified formulation is based on fundamental principles and incorporates in a natural manner both rigid body motions of the aircraft as a whole and …

Modeling and tradespace exploration of a space suit hip bearing assembly using multi-degree-of-freedom range of motion analysis
… Previous planetary suits were largely based on flexible components, which generate additional forces on the occupant as they resist volumetric changes from flexing components. The NASA Mark III suit addresses this problem using a Hip Brief Assembly (HBA), composed of rigid, constant-volume …

Compliant mechanism learning toolkit
… includes plates used to simulate a rigid ground, flexible components that can be mounted at variable angles to flat surfaces, and rigid stages to be connected to ground by the flexible constraint elements. These components are attached to each other using magnets, which allow them to be completely …

A Novel Magnetorheological Fluid Damper for a Small Spacecraft with Flexible Appendages
… electrical power may be the adoption of larger, flexible solar arrays. However, spacecraft with flexible appendages have historically presented attitude control challenges relating to platform stability given the dynamic response of the flexible components to applied torques. These challenges may …

Introspective C++
… of several language features, C++ has provided a flexible system for achieving some of the features of introspection without explicitly providing it. Features such as templates, operator overloading, polymorphism, and multiple inheritance have allowed software systems in C++ to build flexible …

Unsteady aerodynamics for aeroelastic applications using the impulse response method
… vehicles, particularly those with highly flexible components. A reliable but efficient analysis tool is required to aid decision-making in the preliminary design phase. This thesis focuses on the unsteady aerodynamics component of the total aeroelastic system. Classically unsteady …

Online Estimation of Unknown Parameters for Flexible Spacecraft
<p>Attitude controls methods of highly flexible spacecraft have seen increased interest over the last decades thanks to the technological development of flexible solar panels and deploy-ables, which improves the capabilities of small satellites. However, a high-fidelity model of the flexible mode …

Hybrid Organic/Inorganic Flexible Structures: Low Temperature Deposition of Silver Conductive Tracks on Flexible Substrates
… atmospherically deposit conductive patterns on flexible polymeric substrates has recently gained considerable interest as an alternative to vacuum processes. This is because it can potentially lead to highly efficient and reliable transparent electrode components that can be used in lightweight …

Under the influence: Understanding the thermodynamic and optical properties of stimuli-responsive complex organic systems
… have proven their merit. Due to their flexible components, these noncovalently bound systems often exhibit perplexing behaviour when submitted to external stimuli, such as light or electric potential. Examples addressed in this thesis include substitution-pattern controlled fluorescence …

Rejection of periodic disturbances in uncertain nonlinearly perturbed stable infinite dimensional systems
… and the testbed have a similar structure - flexible components, electro-hydraulic actuator, and end mass. Therefore transitioning the control scheme, developed for the testbed, to the mold oscillation system is reasonable and is performed in the absence of steel to eliminate the unwanted …
