...P. A. Simionescu Based on the problem of visualizing the potential energy of a two-degree-of-freedom spring-mass system restrained by an elastic string, several advancements to visualizing functions with constraints and inequalities of two variables are introduced. These innovations include...

... designing configurations that exploit thermal expansion effects in elastic material when appropriate portions of the mechanism structure are heated or are subjected to an electric potential. This paper presents a new structural optimization method for the design of compliant thermal actuators based...
