Abstract: A transverse surface crack is known to add to a shaft a local flexibility due to the stress-strain singularity in the vicinity of the crack tip. This flexibility can be represented, in the ...

Abstract: This paper describes the coupling of bending and longitudinal vibration of a stationary cracked shaft with an open crack. The crack is modeled by way of a 2×2 local flexibility matrix ...

Abstract: The coupling of vibration modes of vibration of a clamped-free circular cross-section Timoshenko beam with a transverse crack is investigated in this paper. A 6 × 6 local flexibility matrix ...

Abstract: In this paper the stability of nonlinear misaligned rotor-bearing systems is investigated, using the Lyapunov direct method. A finite element formulation is used to determine the journal bearing ...

Abstract: The benefits of water‐table management for increasing crop yields, and reducing nitrate pollution were assessed for the St. Lawrence lowlands region of eastern Canada. Soybeans [

Abstract: A rotor bearing system is expected to exhibit large vibration amplitudes when subjected to a large seismic excitation. It is possible that these vibrations can lead to large values the ...
