Abstract: This paper presents a novel near-zero stiffness MEMS accelerometer, based on a dual nonlinear curved beams anti-spring mechanism. The mechanism consists of two nonlinear curved beams ...

Description: Analysis of plane trusses, continuous beams, and plane frames by direct stiffness method; analysis of continuous beams by moment distribution method; approximate methods of analysis.

A cellular beam is a type of alveolar beam that is manufactured through three main steps: (1) make double longitudinal cuts in the web of regular I-section beams; (2) separate two web parts and ...
