Abstract: This paper presents an analytical determination of the elastic constants of composite materials with transversely isotropic elastic circular fiber inclusions in terms of the elastic moduli and ...

Abstract: This paper presents an integrated study of a rotor/bearing structure, with specific interests toward high-speed spindle systems under rotating end loads. Considering the coupling between the ...

Abstract: Recently, the 3D or stacked-die packages become increasingly popular for packaging ICs into a system or subsystem to satisfy the needs of low cost, small form factor, and high performance. For ...

Abstract: Experimental evidence (Shin, 1992) has shown that the natural frequencies of high-speed spindles with angular contact ball bearings decrease with increasing rotational speed. A recent study (Wang ...

Abstract: Micropiles are applied in foundation rehabilitation projects to enhance the pullout capacity of the existing foundation system and minimize the vertical deflection of the structures. Consequently, the methods to calculate ...

Abstract: To determine the stress state of a wire rope is tedious although analytical solution of a simple rope subjected to static load is available. While facing the problems involving complex ropes, it is usual practice to take ...
