Monolithic and thus fully compliant surgical graspers are promising when they provide equal or better force feedback than conventional graspers. In this work for the first time a fully compliant grasper is designed to ...

The implementations of an updated body-fitted and a non body-fitted method to deal with the interaction of a fluid and a rigid body are described. The physics of the fluid is modeled by the incompressible Navier-Stokes ...

A “circular orbital forcing” makes a chosen point on a rigid body follow a circular motion while the body spins freely around that point. We investigate this problem for the planar motion of a body subject to dry friction. ...

The system made of two solids is deformable because the relative position of the solids may change. This fact can be applied to a complex problem of mechanics-the collision theory. The major findings are constitutive laws, ...
