Abstract: Recent research studies noncolocated control of flexible mechanical systems using time delay. The developments are limited to undamped flexible systems; damped flexible systems have not been ...

Abstract: This paper presents an exact method for evaluating the receptances of nonproportionally damped dynamic systems. Based on a decomposition of the damping matrix, an iteration procedure is developed. ...

Abstract: In his famous treatise The Theory of Sound , Rayleigh enunciated an eigenvalue inclusion principle for the discrete, self-adjoint vibrating system under a constraint. According to this principle, ...

Abstract: Defect Green’s function (GF) of multiple point-like inhomogeneities in a multilayered solid has been derived within the theory of linear anisotropic elasticity. It is related to the (reference) ...

Abstract: Controllability and observability are studied for general mechanical systems with combined effects of damping, gyroscopic and circulatory forces. A new modal analysis is proposed to represent the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new analytical and numerical method for modeling and synthesis of complex distributed parameter systems that are multiple continua combined with lumped parameter systems. ...

Abstract: By using the crack analogue model of rigid flat-ended contact, crack initiation in fretting fatigue is analyzed. The coefficient of friction at the edge of contact, which characterizes the ...

Abstract: We present an efficient and accurate continuum-mechanics approach to predict the elastic fields in multilayered semiconductors due to buried quantum dots (QDs). Our approach is based on a novel ...

Abstract: Wave propagations in an inhomogeneous medium (e.g., voids, particles, defects, inclusions) undergo multiple scattering which results in a frequency-dependent velocity and attenuation of coherent ...

Abstract: This paper studies a transfer-function formulation for general one-dimensional, nonuniformly distributed systems, subject to arbitrary boundary conditions and external disturbances. In the development, ...
