Most research papers that exploit conical springs focus only on conical springs with a constant pitch. In order to increase the range of possibilities for designers, this paper proposes a study of conical springs with other types of spirals…

A general expression for the elastic potential energy of a helical spring is derived using the basic concepts of elasticity theory and geometry. Both the translational and the rotational displacement of the spring's moving ends are…

Experimental analysis of the mechanics of a deformable object, and particularly its stability, requires repetitive testing and, depending on the complexity of the object's shape, a testing setup that can manipulate many degrees of freedom…

Topological materials can host edge and corner states that are protected from disorder and material imperfections. In particular, the topological edge states of mechanical structures present unmatched opportunities for achieving robust…

Springs are commonly used in wearable robotic devices to provide assistive joint torque without the need for motors and batteries. However, different tasks (such as walking or running) and different users (such as athletes with strong legs…

Many studies have been conducted on Series Elastic Actuators (SEA) for robot joints because they are effective in terms of flexibility, safety, and energy efficiency. The ability of SEA to robustly handle unexpected disturbances has raised…

We study slender, helical elastic rods subject to distributed forces and moments. Focussing on the case when the helix axis remains straight, we employ the method of multiple scales to systematically derive an 'equivalent-rod' theory from…

We show that when a gradually increasing tensile force is applied to the ends of a helical spring with sufficiently large ratios of radius to pitch and twist to bending rigidity, the end-to-end distance undergoes a sequence of discontinuous…

Industry 4.0 drives the demand for cost-efficient and reliable process data and condition monitoring. Therefore, visualizing the state of tribological contacts becomes important, as they are regularly found in the center of many…

We study the non equilibrium statistical properties of a one dimensional hard-rod fluid undergoing collisions and subject to a spatially non uniform Gaussian heat-bath and periodic potential. The system is able to sustain finite currents…

The elastic response of mechanical, chemical, and biological systems is often modeled using a discrete arrangement of Hookean springs, either representing finite material elements or even the molecular bonds of a system. However, to date,…

The Slinky is a well-known example of a highly flexible helical spring, exhibiting large, geometrically nonlinear deformations from minimal applied forces. By considering it as a system of coils that act to resist axial, shearing, and…

This article introduces efficient and user-friendly tools for analyzing the intersection curve between a ringed torus and an irreducible quadric surface. Without loose of generality, it is assumed that the torus is centered at the origin,…

Aeroelastic model testing is essential for evaluating the wind resistance performance of long-span suspension bridges. In these models, truss girders are commonly modelled by a discrete-stiffness system incorporating U-shaped springs to…

We describe an algorithm that provably computes the rational torsion subgroup of the Jacobian of a curve without relying on height bounds. Instead, the strategy is to find upper bounds for the torsion subgroup using reduction modulo primes,…

Wrist exoskeletons play a vital role in rehabilitation and assistive applications, yet conventional actuation mechanisms such as electric motors or pneumatics often introduce undesirable weight, friction, and complexity. This paper presents…

Most of the advanced control systems use sensor-based feedback for robust control. Tilt angle estimation is key feedback for many robotics and mechatronics applications in order to stabilize a system. Tilt angle cannot be directly measured…

Cylindrical extension springs have been commonly exploited in mechanical systems for years and their behavior could be considered as well identified. Nevertheless, it appears that the influence of the loops on the global stiffness is not…

In this paper we consider a mathematical model which describes the equilibrium of two elastic rods attached to a nonlinear spring. We derive the variational formulation of the model which is in the form of an elliptic quasivariational…

This research proposes a computation approach to address the evaluation of end product machining accuracy in elliptical surfaced helical pipe bending using 6dof parallel manipulator as a pipe bender. The target end product is wearable metal…
