Sentence examples for rotational hinges from inspiring English sources

Cracked cross-sections are modelled as massless elastic rotational hinges.

Each panel forming the floor is schematized as a Saint-Venant beam connected to the others by means of rotational hinges.

The new design features rotational comb drives that are attached to the rotational hinge, where the movement of the comb drive is constrained to rotation only.

This paper introduces a large-displacement monolithic compliant rotational hinge, called the Flex-16.

A theoretical model, based on the assumption that an elastic rotational hinge concentrated at the axis of a notch may be assumed to describe damage analytically, was developed for an analytical study of damaged CFRP laminates under vibration.

With gross collateral deficiency and multidirectional instability a rotational hinge is the best choice (RHK).

The observed rotational movement hinges around a stable pivot point on one face of the enzyme that contains an extensive interdomain interface formed by overlapping strand-turn-strand elements that are not present in prokaryotic homologues [20].

The developed analytical model, which describes the mechanical behaviour of the tetrapod buckling-hinges with three parameters (the arm rotation at buckling onset αbh, the hinge elastic rotational stiffness D and the buckling-hinge parameter γ), represents the essential basis for understanding the mechanical behaviour of AG networks as a whole.

This discrete beam model comprises a finite number of rigid segments connected by frictionless hinges and rotational springs.

By controlling the rates of inflation of different parts of the robot, a finger of material can be made to wrap around an object and grip it without the need for any complicated hinges, grippers, rotational cuffs, or indeed control system.

For the majority of moment-resisting frames, the influence of shear and axial forces on the bending moment and rotational capacity of plastic hinges can be ignored, because the shear and axial forces typically observed are low relative to the shear and axial capacities.
