Abstract: This paper presents a comparison of the theoretically and experimentally determined frequencies and zero displacement lines for the normal mode vibrations of shallow spherical shells. Results are ...

Abstract: Using the two-dimensional theory of elasticity and an appropriate transform function, the stress distribution in a gear tooth acted on by a concentrated load has been obtained. Computations were ...

Abstract: The indentation of hard steel spheres into the plane surface of quasi elastic-perfectly-plastic metallic materials has been investigated experimentally. It is shown in the present note that uniform ...

Abstract: The elastic compliance of a spur gear tooth acted on by a concentrated load is determined through the use of appropriate stress functions resulting from the complex transformation of the tooth ...
