Modal Analysis of a CrankshaftModal Analysis of a Crankshaft

This model describes a modal analysis of a crankshaft. The pistons’ reciprocating movement is transferred to the crankshaft through connecting rods by means of crankshaft throws. The forces, torques, and bending moments, which are...

Plastic Deformation during the Expansion of a StentPlastic Deformation during the Expansion of a Stent

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stenting is a widely used method for the treatment of atherosclerosis. During this procedure a stent is deployed into the blood vessel by means of a balloon. The expanded stent acts as a scaffold...

Viscoelastic Structural DamperViscoelastic Structural Damper

Damping elements involving layers of viscoelastic materials are often used for reduction of seismic and wind induced vibrations in buildings and other tall structures. The common feature is that the frequency of the forced vibrations is...
