Abstract: Stability boundaries for an axially moving string are presented in chart form similar to those of an Ince-Strutt diagram.

Abstract: Accurate finite element procedures have been developed for the vibration of plates with significant membrane stresses. Thermally stressed, rotating circular plates with peripheral edge slots are ...

Abstract: The approximate free vibration characteristics of centrally clamped, variable thickness disks are analyzed by the Rayleigh-Ritz technique. Natural frequencies of transverse vibration are computed, ...

Abstract: A number of independent studies have concluded that initial, residual membrane stresses can increase the fundamental frequency or effective stiffness of thin circular disks and annuli. The present ...

Abstract: Most available thermal stress and associated natural frequency analyses of circular disk elements incorporate only the steady-state temperature distribution and intuitively assume that the transient ...

Abstract: The finite-element method is used in the development of a general, finite-dimensional, state variable formulation of transient heat conduction with surface diffusion. An explicit numerical scheme ...
