...Jingjing Ji; Kok-Meng Lee; Shuyou Zhang This paper investigates the parametric effects, which include material properties, hook shape, and shear deformation, on the force/deflection relationship governing the assembly/disassembly processes of a snap-fit for developing embedded algebraic solutions...

... is constant and d 2 φ ∕ d c 2 = 0 , permitting to solve for S , while form 4 is preferable along the free span in order to solve for φ . Notice that neglecting the shear deformation ( S s → ∞ ) , Eq. 3b yields S = 0 along the arc of contact ( d 2...

... of contact forces and deflected shape are essential to the design of a compliant finger. A formulation based on nonlinear constrained minimization is presented to analyze contact problems of compliant fingers. The deflections by flexural and shear deformations are both considered. For a planar finger...

... properties of the rubber solids was implemented in ABAQUS∕EXPLICIT code for the simulation. A tangential shear angle and an axial shear angle were defined to quantify shear deformations. The shear angles were found to be closely related to velocity variation along contact arc and the imbalanced contact...

...Kimmo S. Kerkkänen, M.Sc. (Eng.); Jussi T. Sopanen, Dr. Tech.; Aki M. Mikkola, Dr. Tech. In this paper, a new two-dimensional shear deformable beam element based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation is proposed. The nonlinear elastic forces of the beam element are obtained using a continuum...
