Abstract: This paper is concerned with the galloping of iced conductors modeled as a two-degrees-of-freedom system. It is assumed that a realistic cross-section of a conductor has eccentricity; that is, ...

Abstract: Although the galloping of an iced electrical conductor has been considered by many researchers, no special attention has been given to the galloping’s sensitivity to alternations in the system’s ...

Abstract: A parallel computational algorithm that models three-dimensional elastic wave scattering in an infinite pipe is introduced. The algorithm combines two procedures: a Wave Function Expansion (WFE) ...

Abstract: Scattering of axisymmetric guided waves by cracks and weldments of anisotropic bonding material in welded steel pipes is investigated in this paper by a hybrid method employing finite element ...

Abstract: The construction of a steady-state Green’s function for a laminated anisotropic circular cylinder is presented herein. The cylinder’s profile through its depth consists of any number of perfectly ...

Abstract: A novel numerical procedure is presented in this paper to study wave scattering problem by circumferential cracks in steel pipes. The study is motivated by the need to develop a quantitative ...

Abstract: In this Part 2 of the paper, numerical results obtained through an IBM 7044 digital computer are presented. Frequency values for the two classes of vibrations for different values of n are ...

Abstract: In Part 1 of this paper an exact analysis of the nonaxisymmetric wave propagation in a hollow elastic sphere is presented. It is found that the characteristic frequency equation is independent ...

Abstract: The surface responses due to impact load on an infinite uniaxial graphite/epoxy plate containing a horizontal crack is investigated both in time and frequency domain by using a hybrid method ...
