Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive optimal design procedure for constrained dynamic systems. The constraint violation stabilization method for dynamic analysis of mechanical systems is briefly ...

Abstract: The transient dynamic analysis of equations of motion for constrained mechanical systems requires the solution of a mixed set of algebraic and differential equations. A constraint violation ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the dynamics and stability of simply supported pipes conveying fluid, where the fluid has a small harmonic component of flow velocity superposed on a constant mean value. ...

Abstract: The precession of flexural vibrational modes of a rotating hemispherical thin shell is investigated. Niordson’s thin shell theory, which allows the stretch of the middle surface, is employed to ...
