Abstract: The problem of a viscoelastic membrane undergoing large planar deformation due to spinning is solved. The membrane, rigidly bonded at its inner boundary and traction-free at the outer, consists ...

Abstract: The development of a system’s biology, as a common construct for both physiologist and engineer, requires both a theory of structures (form) and a theory of dynamics (function). A dynamic ...

Abstract: A comprehensive review of the use of Kirchhoff’s method in computational aeroacoustics is given. Kirchhoff’s integral formulation allows radiating sound to be evaluated based on quantities on an ...

Abstract: The objective of this work is to provide a mechanical description of steady-state flow of Newtonian fluid in a branching network that consists of rigid vessels of different diameters. Solution ...

Abstract: The history and the present state of the theory of sheet metal forming limits are reviewed. The theory of necking and plastic instability (Swift-Hill and Marciniak-Kuczyński models) is discussed ...

Abstract: Limiting solutions are discussed for elastic-plastic deformation around rigid particles of both equiaxed and greatly elongated shapes. It is shown that if the matrix can be characterized as a ...

Abstract: A method for estimating the maximum drawing force in the deep drawing of cylindrical cups with flat-nosed punch is developed. The criterion is obtained using the load maximum principle for ...
