Thank you, Greg.

Thank you Greg but could you please, provide me with more details.

Hi GregLocock, Exactly, that's all I need to know. Is there any miniature linear actuator that could fit in the aforementioned scissor mechanism and could provide such a force?

DustinScheu, I'm not asking about the equations that control the scissor mechanism, I'm asking about the possibility to find an actuator that could provide a relatively high force with small dimensions. Thank you.

Dear all, I would like to know if it's possible to calculate the longevity of piezoceramic generator given that the applied time-varying load is known. In other words, could we calculate how many cycles of time-varying load the piezoceramic element can support before failure. Is there any...

Any piece of information could be helpful. Please don't hesitate and thank you in advance.

I have the same problem and I'm completely blocked.

I am performing a fatigue analysis for the mechanism shown in Figure 01. This mechanism is made of titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4V). It’s supposed to be locked at this position. After being locked, each of the two upper plates should support till 5E6 cycles of the time-varying load shown in Figure 02...

IRstuff, Thank you a lot for your help.

Dear Logesh, First of all, I would like to thank you for your valuable response. Concerning the rigid body motion, I'm doing a flexible dynamic analysis where all the bodies are defined with flexible behavior and connected through different joints. I'm obliged to constraint some degrees of...

I have contacted the supplier who has said that they haven't such data. For Google, I've tried to found something useful but nothing has been found. Moreover, I have no access to this journal to obtain this article.

Thank you Seymours, I'll look at this reference.

Hi again, Seymours, After writing the input file and reading it in ANSYS Classic, how I could locate the node? In other words, what the commands for that? Elogesh, the stiffness behavior of all parts in my assembly is defined as flexible, what is the cause of this rigid body motion? Thank you

Dear engineers, I'm doing a fatigue stress analysis on an assembly made of Piezoceramic material. So is it possible to tell me please where I could find the S-N curves for this material. I would be so grateful for any information you could share with me. Thank you in advance.

Thank you Seymours for your reply. The problem is that I don't have ANSYS Classic. I would be so grateful for any further suggestion.
