Sentence examples for thin-shell structure from inspiring English sources

The proposed method can be used for providing useful guidance to the layout design of the actuator/sensor layers attached to a thin-shell structure subject to dynamic excitations, in particular impact forces.

This knowledge enabled him to create his signature thin-shell structures, whimsical buildings that seemed to float in the air and could resemble anything from an upside-down umbrella to a ship's sail.

Besides, finite-element analysis devised originally for calculating the stresses in aircraft fuselages and wings—has allowed exquisite thin-shell structures to be built in concrete to carry loads over previously unimagined distances.

These numerical pathologies are prone to appear in the simulation of nearly incompressible, thin-shell structures when using displacement-based formulations.

The method is tested on a flexible thin shell structure that is modeled by Finite Element Methods using ANSYS.

Because of their relative lightweight nature, the earthquake forces induced in a thin shell structure are relatively low.

The method is applied to three test cases: an L-shaped plate, an assembly of three plates and a complex thin shell structure.

A new two-step amplifying mechanism combining a lever-arm with flexure hinges and a pre-curved thin shell structure is proposed to make a millimeter-scale linear actuator.

A method is presented to predict the root mean square displacement response of an open curved thin shell structure subjected to a turbulent boundary-layer-induced random pressure field.

Drawing inspiration from mechanical properties, structural relationships, and the material performance of natural objects, and applying this to a building's structure or shape design, large span structures, such as suspension cable and thin shell structure, which imitate cobwebs and eggshell respectively, have been designed to improve the efficiency of building resources.
