Abstract: Many dynamical systems use transducers that can function both as actuators and sensors. It is possible to continuously switch the functionality of the transducer elements in such systems and ...

Abstract: Gear Hobbing is a complex gear manufacturing method, possessing great industrial significance. The convoluted geometry of the cutting tools brings on modeling problems and is the main reason for ...

Abstract: The rigid body motion is studied for a combination of finitely and infinitesimally separated positions in planar kinematics. A general new method is developed for determining the locations of ...

Abstract: The hybrid squeeze-film damper bearing with active control is proposed in this paper. The pressure distribution and the dynamics of a rigid rotor supported by such bearing are studied. A PD ...

Abstract: A procedure for the stability analysis of a slack mooring system is presented for periodic wave excitation by finding its approximate response using a two term harmonic balance method (HBM). ...

Abstract: Annular seals are known to enhance rotordynamic stability margins and minimize vibration response levels in high-speed rotating machinery. Theoretical predictions for the rotordynamic characteristics ...

Abstract: A new approach to the synthesis of planar linkage mechanisms with fuzzy constraints is proposed. Design methods for two exact positions and an unlimited number of approximate positions are ...
