Abstract: In-plane mechanical properties of periodic honeycomb structures with seven different cell types are investigated in this paper. Emphasis is placed on honeycombs with relative density between 0.1 ...

Abstract: The literature dealing with vibrations of turbomachinery blades is voluminous, but the vast majority of it treats the blades as beams. In a previous paper a two-dimensional analytical procedure ...

Abstract: Shallow shell theory and Ritz method are employed to determine the frequencies and mode shapes of turbomachinery blades having both camber and twist, rotating with non-zero angles of attack. ...

Abstract: A procedure for analyzing the vibrations of rotating turbomachinery blades has been previously developed. This procedure is based upon shallow shell theory, and utilizes the Ritz method to ...
