This paper describes a piezoelectric energy harvester employing a snap-through buckling (STB) mechanism for frequency-up conversion (FuC). The harvester consists of two main components: a bistable mechanical structure and one piezoelectric cantilever bea...

The aim of this study was to compare the mechanical behavior of two types of prosthesis as well as the stress distribution on the prostheses? components and the bone. Two groups were analyzed: in the first group (M1), the prothesis was composed of two im...

Using glass as a primary load-carrying element is becoming more and more popular in architecture. Probably the most used application is the single-span girder, but another important system is the cantilever beam, which is widely used, e.g., as a canopy i...

Shape-variable structures can change their geometry in a targeted way and thus adapt their outer shape to different operating conditions. The potential applications in aviation are manifold and far-reaching. The substitution of conventional flaps in high...

The increase of a surface area-to-volume ratio with the reduction of material dimensions significantly alters the characteristics of materials from their macroscopic status. Therefore, efforts have been made to establish evaluation techniques for nanosca...
