This study presents a newly engineered nonlinear stiffness-softening mechanism that enables micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers to operate with dramatically reduced bias force and ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...

Steel beams with web openings are increasingly employed in modern construction to serve both structural and utilitarian functions. The presence of cut‐outs in the web enables the passage of mechanical ...

A new drill pipe buckling model provided excellent predictions for each full-scale buckling test performed, not only in terms of deformed buckling shape but also in terms of weight transfer. Existing ...

Achieving both high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range remains a central challenge in microelectromechanical accelerometers. This study presents a newly engineered nonlinear stiffness-softening ...
