2004 - Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Composite material
  • Electrical engineering

His primary areas of study are Compliant mechanism, Structural engineering, Deflection, Kinematics and Control theory. The study incorporates disciplines such as Rigid body model, Stiffness and Bistability in addition to Compliant mechanism. His Structural engineering research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mechanism synthesis, Planar, Rotation and Macro.

His work in Deflection addresses subjects such as Numerical analysis, which are connected to disciplines such as Visualization, Large deflection, Cantilever and Elliptic integral. His study in Kinematics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Motion, Engineering drawing and Robustness. His research in the fields of System dynamics overlaps with other disciplines such as Mechanism design.

His most cited work include:

  • A Method for the Design of Compliant Mechanisms With Small-Length Flexural Pivots (341 citations)
  • Parametric Deflection Approximations for End-Loaded, Large-Deflection Beams in Compliant Mechanisms (267 citations)
  • Handbook of compliant mechanisms (230 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Larry L. Howell mainly focuses on Compliant mechanism, Structural engineering, Mechanical engineering, Mechanism and Deflection. He studied Compliant mechanism and Kinematics that intersect with Engineering drawing. His Structural engineering study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Planar.

His Microelectromechanical systems research extends to the thematically linked field of Mechanical engineering. His Microelectromechanical systems study combines topics in areas such as Electronic engineering, Actuator and Displacement. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cantilever and Nonlinear system.

Larry L. Howell has included themes like Rigid body model and Rotation in his Finite element method study.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An Approach to Designing Origami-Adapted Aerospace Mechanisms (52 citations)
  • A Review of Thickness-Accommodation Techniques in Origami-Inspired Engineering (44 citations)
  • Compliant constant-force linear-motion mechanism (30 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Electrical engineering
  • Composite material

Larry L. Howell mainly focuses on Compliant mechanism, Mechanical engineering, Stiffness, Structural engineering and Finite element method. His Compliant mechanism research incorporates themes from Motion, Actuator, Control theory, System dynamics and Joint. His Mechanical engineering research incorporates elements of Planar, Kinematics, Nanotechnology and Lamina.

His study looks at the relationship between Stiffness and fields such as Lattice, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His study in Deflection and Flexural strength falls under the purview of Structural engineering. The Finite element method study combines topics in areas such as Spacecraft, 3D printing, Bistability and Rotation.
