Abstract: The free and forced linear response of a constrained string translating across an elastic foundation is examined in this paper. The transfer function method is used in the analysis. For the ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present an exact solution for the linear, transverse response of an axially moving string with general boundary conditions. The solution is derived in the frequency domain ...

Abstract: Active vibration control of an axially moving string using space feedforward and feedback controllers is presented. Closed-form results for the transverse response of both the uncontrolled and ...

Abstract: Distributed parameter systems describe many important physical processes. The transfer function of a distributed parameter system contains all information required to predict the system spectrum, ...

Abstract: The free vibration response of both a string and a Euler-Bernoulli beam supported by intermediate elastic constraints is studied and analyzed. For both the string and beam systems, curve veering ...

Abstract: Active vibration control of an axially moving string by wave cancellation is presented. The control problem is formulated in the frequency domain. An exact, closed-form expression for the transfer ...

Abstract: Analysis of constrained distributed parameter systems by the transfer function formulation is presented. The methodology is suitable for symbolic computation coding. The distributed system is an ...

Abstract: In this paper, the application of the transfer function formulation and the generalized displacement method (GDM) to the analysis of constrained distributed parameter systems is illustrated. Two ...

Abstract: This paper presents a mathematical model of the flow and pressure developed in a hydrodynamic guide bearing film under transverse vibration of a translating band. The guide bearing is commonly ...
