Abstract: A methodology to synthesize a predesignated acoustic response using a structure driven by multiple induced-strain actuators, e.g., piezoelectric (PZT) patches, is presented. The proposed approach ...

Abstract: Theoretical developments on cavity flow studies are briefly reviewed. Physical and mathematical difficulties involved in cavity flow problems are discussed. Particular attention, with regard to ...

Abstract: In this paper an efficient numerical procedure is described which yields the eigenvalue of a lumped mass torsional vibration directly from the frequency equation of the system. Special characteristics ...

Abstract: This paper gives additional results in the transient response of a rigid spherical inclusion in an elastic medium due to a periodic disturbances. The locations of the poles in the admittance ...

Abstract: This paper is a continuation of a paper [1] previously published. In this paper, the experimental results for the 3-mass system as defined in Part I are presented. Physical simulation very ...

Abstract: The effect of residual stress on the flexural buckling strength of cold‐formed steel columns is studied. Based on the results of 93 column tests and the measured residual stresses, significant relation is observed between ...

Abstract: An ultrasonic method, which allows the determination of the in-plane elastic stiffnesses of thin polymeric sheets, is described. The determination is complete, as it includes the shear coupling ...

Abstract: The currently accepted practice of using inconsistent representations of creep and rupture behaviors in the prediction of creep-fatigue life is shown to introduce a factor of safety beyond that ...

Abstract: Due to better ski equipment, instruction, slope management and increased safety awareness on the part of the skiing public, ski injuries appear to be declining. Ski equipment is incorporating ...
