...Christine Vehar Jutte; Sridhar Kota Nonlinear springs enhance the performance of many applications including prosthetics, microelectromechanical systems devices, and vibration absorption systems. This paper describes a comprehensive approach to developing compliant elements of prescribed nonlinear...

...Christine Vehar Jutte; Sridhar Kota A nonlinear spring has a defined nonlinear load-displacement function, which is also equivalent to its strain energy absorption rate. Various applications benefit from nonlinear springs, including prosthetics and microelectromechanical system devices. Since each...

... to roller bearings. In this framework, one can presume that it can be extrapolated to roller bearings by applying a stiffness expression relative to line contact for the definition of the nonlinear springs. Nassar , S. A. , and Matin , P. H. , 2007 , “ Cumulative Clamp Loss Due...
