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 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: This paper considers the problem of dynamic tooth loads on lightly loaded precision class gears running at high speed. It provides theoretical and experimental explanations of the surprising ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an initial step to rationalize the dynamic factor calculation and bring it under the control of the laws of mechanics. The theory is straight forward. The concept of ...

Abstract: Undrained creep of clay may cause significant displacement near an excavation site. To investigate the potential undrained creep, two series of constant-stress undrained creep tests were conducted on specimens from tube ...

Abstract: Hula-hoop motion refers to the spinning of a ring around a human body; it is made possible by the interactive force between the moving ring and the body. Inspired by the generic concept of ...

Abstract: Dynamic responses of the blanket in full-scale flat-bottom type floc blanket clarifiers at the PingTsan Water Works, Taiwan Water Supply Corporation, were monitored given a step-change in coagulant (polyaluminum chloride, ...
