Abstract: In pressure vessel applications, the accurate evaluation of the state of stress in the vicinity of nozzles or rigid attachments is of vital importance to the structural integrity of the vessel. ...

Abstract: Differences in the response of thin nonshallow spherical shells resulting from the choice of the adopted shell theory (classical or improved) are addressed analytically and through a series of ...

Abstract: The development of a mathematical model, describing the elastic-dynamic response of an industrial lever type roll feed mechanism, is presented. This device, which is used in all manner of ...

Abstract: An experimentally verified simulation of the elastic-dynamic behavior of a lever-type feed mechanism is presented. Based on a combination of experimental and analytical findings, simplified motion ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented for the design of optimal cooling systems for injection mold tooling which models the mold cooling as a nonlinear constrained optimization problem. The design constraints ...
