Abstract Compliant shell mechanisms utilize thin-walled structures to achieve motion and force generation. Shell mechanisms, because of their thin-walled nature and spatial geometry, are building blocks for spatial mechanism applications. In spatial compliant mechanism design, the ratio of compliance is the representation of the kinetostatics involved. Using shell mechanisms in concept design, however, can prove difficult without a uniform characterization method. In this article, we make use of compliance ellipsoids to achieve characterization of the ratio of compliance for shell mechanisms. Ten promising shells are presented with the kinetostatic characteristics, combined with a uniform method of determining the kinetostatic characteristics for other unknown shells. Finally, we show how shells are indeed a valid alternative in the spatial mechanism design, compared to conventional flexure mechanisms.

As for thin walled cylindrical liquid storage tanks in nuclear power plants, the current elastic design guideline against seismic loading might result in too conservative component design. Therefore, it is thought possible to make the design procedure more reasonable by taking dynamic response reduction into account. Experiments using scaled models as well as numerical analyses were carried out, and seismic behavior of thin walled cylindrical liquid storage tanks was simulated to investigate energy absorption capacity and seismic resistance of those tanks. Based on the test and analysis results, assessment procedure for buckling considering post-buckling behavior has been proposed.

Abstract Gilead et al. state that abstraction supports mental travel, and that mental travel critically relies on abstraction. I propose an important addition to this theoretical framework, namely that mental travel might also support abstraction. Specifically, I argue that spontaneous mental travel (mind wandering), much like data augmentation in machine learning, provides variability in mental content and context necessary for abstraction.
