The self-excited vibration, called chatter, is one of the main limitations in metal removal
processes. Chatter may spoil the surface of the part and can also cause large reduction in …

Laminated composite and sandwich structures are lightweight structures that can be found
in many diverse applications especially civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering. The …

The method of “integrator backstep**” emerged around 1990 as a robust version of
feedback linearization for nonlinear systems with uncertainties. Backstep** was …

Abstract The Gibson-Ashby (GA) model has been instrumental in the design of additively
manufactured (AM-ed) metal lattice materials or mechanical metamaterials. The first part of …

This paper presents a comprehensive review on different theoretical elastic and viscoelastic
foundation models in oscillatory systems. The review covers the simplest foundation models …

Rotating composite beams and blades have a wide range of applications in various
engineering structures such as wind turbines, industrial fans, and steam turbines. Therefore …

A hybrid machine tool is a complex mechatronic system and the complex interactions
between the mechanical subsystem and the control subsystem have an important effect on …

A simple nonlocal beam model is proposed to study buckling response of protein
microtubules. The size-effect for buckling model of microtubules is considered by using the …

Micromechanical devices comprise emerging sensor platforms with straightforward sensing
mechanisms. Molecular adsorption onto the sensing element, typically a cantilever, shifts its …

The crack initiation and propagation on the cage bridge surface can change the cage
structural stiffness and clearances, which may lead to the cage failure ahead of time and …
