Abstract: The paper applies the power series method to find the dynamic stiffness for the dynamics axial-moment buckling analyses of linear framed structures. Since the formulation is exact in classical sense, one element is good ...

Abstract: An experimental test rig is built to verify the dynamics of a multi-bearing rotor. It consists of two flexibly coupled shafts and is connected to a motor at one end via a flexible coupling. ...

Abstract: An analytical trapezoidal hierarchical element for the transverse vibration of Mindlin plates resting on two-parameter foundations is presented. Legendre orthogonal polynomials are used as enriching shape functions to avoid ...

Abstract: In financial decision-making processes, the adopted weights of the objective functions have significant impacts on the final decision outcome. However, conventional rating and weighting methods exhibit difficulty in deriving ...

Abstract: This paper employs the atomic-scale finite element method (AFEM) to study critical strain of axial buckling for carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Brenner et al. “second-generation” empirical potential is ...
