Abstract: Maximum bending moments, rotations, and deflections of beams resting on elastic foundations and subject to central forces and bending moments are computed on the basis of a linear approximation ...

Abstract: The generalized Hooke’s law in cylindrical coordinates is presented in terms of directional moduli of elasticity and Poisson’s ratios. It is used in deriving a solution for long pressurized ...

Abstract: General solutions are derived for the stresses, strains, and radial displacements in nonhomogeneous orthotropic annular disks subject to stresses at their internal and external boundaries. ...

Abstract: A general method is presented for generating controlled rectilinear motion to any desired accuracy. The required motion is expressed in terms of a Fourier series whose coefficients are shown ...

Abstract: Expressions are derived for the bond stresses induced by a radially symmetric temperature distribution in spherical propellant grains bonded to spherical casings. Equations for the evaluation of ...

Abstract: First and second finite-difference expressions are derived for the first three derivatives of displacement with respect to time. The numerical results obtained by applying these difference expressions ...

Abstract: Expressions are developed for the residual thermal stresses in a solid sphere cast from a chemically hardening thermosetting material in a rigid spherical mold. The description of the heat ...

Abstract: Thermoelastic constitutive equations are derived for a material undergoing solidification or hardening as the result of a chemical reaction. The derivation is based upon a two component model ...

Abstract: A method has been formulated for the determination of thermal stresses in materials which harden in the presence of an exothermic chemical reaction. Hardening is described by the transformation ...

Abstract: Two sets of expressions are obtained for residual stresses and deformations resulting from bending processes in which initially flat sheets are permanently deformed to sheets having finite radii ...
