Abstract: This work concerns a pendulum made up of a mass and a weightless rod attached to a pivot. The mass is constrained to move rotationally with the rod but is free to move along the rod. ...

Abstract: This work involves a pendulum made up of a mass, a pivoted weightless rod, and a spring. The mass is constrained to maintain its axial position on the rod, but is allowed to move rotationally ...

Abstract: A high frequency harmonic excitation is applied to the pivot of a rotationally flexible pendulum. It is found that various equilibrium positions occur depending on the stiffness of the flexible parts.

Abstract: A high-frequency harmonic excitation is applied to a pendulum that is flexible in the radial direction. Approximate equilibrium positions are found when the excitation is in a general and fixed ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes for practitioners the key recommendations of a recent ASCE report for utilizing the notional load approach to design steel columns in unbraced frames. This method, which has been employed successfully ...

Abstract: Analysis of a pendulum pivoted on a rotating shaft. The mass of the pendulum is free to move radially. The shaft is nearly horizontal.
