...Frédéric Boyer; Guillaume De Nayer; Alban Leroyer; Michel Visonneau In this article, the finite element simulation of cables is investigated for future applications to robotics and hydrodynamics. The solution is based on the geometrically exact approach of Cosserat beams in finite transformations...

...) incorporating two oil films in series: a hydrodynamic one with a squeeze film damper commonly used in turbochargers. The developed fluid bearing code predicts bearing rotational speed (in the case of fully floating design), operating inner and outer bearing film clearances, effective oil viscosity, taking...

... of elliptic cylinders and calculated the hydrodynamic forces acting on them. We performed higher-order spectral analysis of the time histories of the lift and drag coefficients and computed the dominant frequencies and their relative phases. Using these data for different elliptic cylinders, we identified...

... treated to bring the velocity dependent nonlinear hydrodynamic damping term to the left hand side of the equation of motion. Use of these two techniques makes the equation of motion amenable to the application of method IHBC. In order to trace different branches of the response curve and investigate...
