Abstract: In this paper an efficient numerical procedure is described which yields the eigenvalue of a lumped mass torsional vibration directly from the frequency equation of the system. Special characteristics ...

Abstract: This paper is a continuation of a paper [1] previously published. In this paper, the experimental results for the 3-mass system as defined in Part I are presented. Physical simulation very ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with calculating the maximum deflection of steel-concrete composite beams with partial shear interaction. Under the guidance of various current design codes, this deflection is related to the strength ...

Abstract: In this paper, sufficient conditions for almost sure stability and asymptotic stability of certain classes of linear stochastic distributed-parameter dynamical systems are derived. These systems ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach to automatically recover mesh surfaces with sharp edges for solids from their binary volumetric discretizations (i.e., voxel models). Our method consists of three ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of fitting flattenable mesh surfaces in R3onto piecewise linear boundary curves, where a flattenable mesh surface inherits the isometric mapping to a planar ...

Abstract: The dynamic characteristics of externally pressurized, double-pad, circular thrust bearings with membrane variable flow compensation are analytically studied. Under static loads or load composed of ...
