These governing equations, in special cases, can be readily solved and yield the solutions to the problem. The solutions can be used for the analysis of the beams, including the calculation of various internal forces, stresses, strains and displacements. The present theory will be used to investigate the stresses and displacements of a plane curved beam subjected to the action of horizontal and vertical distributed loads. The numerical results obtained by the present theory are found to be in very good agreement with the results of the FEM results. Besides, the present theory is not limited to the beams with a double symmetric cross-section, it can also be extended to those with arbitrary cross-sectional shape.展开更多

In this model, the desired functions are expressed bystate-transit-diagrams(ST-diagrams) and design space is represented byqualitative-state-curves(QS-curves). The first design idea, called seeds idea, is proposed by thedesigner and then is abstracted into QS-curves. The qualitative simulation is implemented based onthe QS-curves. By changing the motion of acting parts, the connection of parts and the motion ofdriving part, new design ideas are generated. With this model, a series of new design ideas derivedfrom the seeds idea can be achieved.展开更多
