Abstract: The International Standards Organization “Guide for the Evaluation of Human Exposure to Whole-Body Vibrations”, ISO 2631, is converted to a form usable for direct comparison with vibration data ...

Abstract: A four-tire quasi-steady state vehicle model is set forth utilizing the well-known friction circle model for each tire, and incorporating vehicle and roadway geometry, weight shift, and brake ...

Abstract: Ultrasonic block horns are prone to reliability problems associated with modal activity close to the tuned operating frequency. This paper presents an approach to block horn design, which relies ...

Abstract: The equilibrium and compatibility equations for nonlinear viscous materials described by the power law are solved by introducing the complex stream and stress function. The stresses, strain rates, ...

Abstract: The effects of straining, straining + aging, and straining + aging + stress-relieving on tensile and Charpy V-notch impact properties were determined for several candidate arctic pipe and fitting ...

Abstract: Basic dynamics of single tendons are modeled, isolated, and measured. Fundamental transmission line models are presented with assumptions applicable to using the models for tendons. The models ...

Abstract: Numerical acoustic radiation prediction schemes have developed to the point where they can be used to reliably predict the acoustic response of a vibrating structure. However, the objective of ...

Abstract: A simple reliability analysis for limit-state (load and resistance factor) fatigue assessments is presented. This analysis was recently proposed in guidelines published by the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork ...
