This paper investigates the vibration characteristics of multi-span beams resting on an elastic foundation and subjected to axial forces. A comprehensive analytical expression dynamic response that is developed address various boundary conditions. The equation derived by employing Newton's second law. By Laplace transformations Green's function method, solution this governing can be obtained. Subsequently, a unified description implemented for distinct types conditions using matrix...
In the near future, autonomous space systems will compose a large number of spacecraft being deployed. Their tasks involve rendezvous and proximity operations with structures, such as inspections or assembly orbiting stations maintenance human-assistance over shared workspaces. To promote replicable reliable scientific results for control spacecraft, we present design laboratory based on open-source modular software hardware. The simulation provides software-in-the-loop (SITL) architecture...

The rapidly growing use of small satellites for space missions requires deployable systems to be highly storable yet large and with adequate mechanical properties when deployed. This paper focuses on the modeling simulation a meter-class passively boom, based self-contained linear exploiting bistable nature composite shells.

Bistable tape springs are suitable as deployable structures thanks to their high packaging ratio, self-deployment ability, low cost, light weight, and stiffness. A booms assembly composed of four 1-m long bistable glass fiber was designed for the electromagnetically clean 3U CubeSat Small Explorer Advanced Missions (SEAM). The aim present study investigate deployment dynamics reliability SEAM boom design after long-term stowage using onground experiments simulations. gravity offloading...
Bistable tape springs are ultrathin fiber-reinforced polymer composites, which could self-deploy through releasing stored strain energy. Strain energy relaxation is observed after long-term stowage of bistable due to viscoelastic effects and the might lose their self-deployment abilities. In order mitigate thus ensure self-deployment, different were designed, manufactured, tested. Deployment experiments show that a four-layer, [−45/0/90/45], plain weave glass fiber spring has high capability...
Simple geometric distortions applied to the isometric Kelvin cell structures, (the tetrakaidecahedron), are shown result in equivalent materials with anisotropic Hooke's tensors. The material models estimated using a recently published inversion method where 21 independent elastic constants of tensor identified. In these geometries, some faces have been twisted and/or tilted. Numerical experiments suggest that distorted cells exhibit variations compression, shearing, shear-compression and...

The scaling law for ferroelectric stripe domains is investigated in free-standing BaTiO3 and PbTiO3 thin films via phase-field simulations. results agree with the Kittel law, where square of domain width found to be proportional film thickness. After being rescaled by corresponding wall thickness, generalized also demonstrated, dimensionless constant M estimated ∼3.3 two materials. Moreover, we predict effect exchange which incorporated Ginzburg-Landau theory on equilibrium critical thickness films.
Previously reported measurements of uniaxial compression cellular acoustic materials have shown an intriguing loss stiffness in the regions close to boundaries. The present contribution attempts further investigate if these effects may be modelled by assuming a local alteration microstructure boundaries resulting from cutting block material into smaller samples. Assuming that fewer struts contribute locally mechanical behaviour, implies reduced equivalent porosity, or relative density,...
