Experimental investigation of four-point bending of thin walled open section steel beam loaded and set in the shear center.

Thin walled cold formed structures were, and still are, very popular structural elements used in mechanical engineering. Modern technology and the progress in materials engineering allow to fabricate various shapes of thin walled cold formed components. Therefore, combinations between technology possibilities, material properties, loads and engineering requirements are wide and unlimited for thin walled components.

Dynamic Model of a Humanoid Exoskeleton of a Lower Limb with Hydraulic Actuators.

Exoskeletons are the mechanical systems whose operation is carried out in close cooperation with the human body. In this paper, the authors describe a mathematical model of the hydraulic exoskeleton of a lower limb. The coordinates of characteristic points of the exoskeleton in the sagittal plane as a function of user height are presented.
