We present a theory of qualitative rigid body mechanics and describe a program that uses this theory to compute qualitative dynamic simulations.1 The program works directly from a...

Abstract—In any formal theory, a proof is a sequence of well formed formulas (wff). Here, we consider the digraph whose nodes are proofs and the edges are pairs of proofs such t...
Properties of typical MEMS materials have been widely investigated. Mechanical properties of MEMS structures depend not only on the bulk material properties, but also structural fa...
An alternative proof for the explicit equations of motion for mechanical systems with independent non-ideal constraints is proposed in this paper. These equations are derived with...
We introduce three formal theories of increasing strength for linear algebra in order to study the complexity of the concepts needed to prove the basic theorems of the subject. We...
