To find the weak link of the structural stiffness is important to improve machine tool stiffness. However, how to overcome the static deformation with difficulty acquisition is a difficult problem in ...

Design engineers routinely rely on bolted joints, yet most guidance focuses on axial stiffness—often overlooking moment (pitch) stiffness, which can dominate compliance in ...

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 ...
