ABSTRACTCurvature measurements are generally employed in conjunction with elementary structural analysis to estimate deposition stresses in miniaturized electro-mechanical systems. In this paper the validity of this procedure is discussed by presenting a closed form solution for a bilayer subject to nonuniform intrinsic straining, and comparing the exact stress-curvature relations with the oft-used formulae of Stoney and Brenner-Senderoff.

In this paper we develop an analytical set of equations to describe the motion of discrete dynamical systems subjected to holonomic and/or nonholonomic Pfaffian equality constraints. These equations are obtained by using Gauss’s Principle to recast the problem of the constrained motion of dynamical systems in the form of a quadratic programming problem. The closed-form solution to this programming problem then explicitly yields the equations that describe the time evolution of constrained linear and nonlinear mechanical systems. The direct approach used here does not require the use of any Lagrange multipliers, and the resulting equations are expressed in terms of two different classes of generalized inverses—the first class pertinent to the constraints, the second to the dynamics of the motion. These equations can be numerically solved using any of the standard numerical techniques for solving differential equations. A closed-form analytical expression for the constraint forces required for a given mechanical system to satisfy a specific set of nonholonomic constraints is also provided. An example dealing with the position tracking control of a nonlinear system shows the power of the analytical results and provides new insights into application areas such as robotics, and the control of structural and mechanical systems.

We establish an analytical method leading to a more general form of the exact solution of a nonlinear ODE of the second order due to Gambier. The treatment is based on the introduction and determination of a new function, by means of which the solution of the original equation is expressed. This treatment is applied to another nonlinear equation, subjected to the same general class as that of Gambier, by constructing step by step an appropriate analytical technique. The developed procedure yields a general exact closed form solution of this equation, valid for specific values of the parameters involved and containing two arbitrary (free) parameters evaluated by the relevant initial conditions. We finally verify this technique by applying it to two specific sets of parameter values of the equation under consideration.

This paper revisits a classical problem in kinematics, specifically determination of the crank position corresponding to the maximum velocity of the slider in the centric slider-crank mechanism. This position is often critical in designing products constructed using the slider-crank mechanism, e.g., industrial sewing machinery, rotary engine systems, etc. In current literature, the numerical, graphical, or approximate closed-form solution to this problem is available. In this paper, an exact closed-form solution is derived. With this new closed-form solution, it is found that there exist significant errors in an approximate closed-form solution which can be found from many machine design text books for a practica1 use.

This paper presents a closed-form solution to determination of the position and orientation of a perspective camera with two unknown effective focal lengths for the noncoplanar perspective four point (P4P) problem. Given four noncoplanar 3D points and their correspondences in image coordinate, we convert perspective transformation to affine transformation, and formulate the problem using invariance to 3D affine transformation and arrive to a closed-form solution. We show how the noncoplanar P4P problem is cast into the problem of solving an eighth degree polynomial equation in one unknown. This result shows the noncoplanar P4P problem with two unknown effective focal lengths has at most 8 solutions. Last, we confirm the conclusion by an example. Although developed as part of landmark-guided navigation, the solution might well be used for landmark-based tracking problem, hand-eye coordination, and for fast determination of interior and exterior camera parameters. Because our method is based on closed-form solution, its speed makes it a potential candidate for solving above problems.
