Abstract: The general lateral buckling equation is developed for a uniform, slender, simply supported beam fixed in torsion and with a load applied at the shear center of the midspan cross section. In ...

Abstract: Some work on the in-plane vibrations and buckling of rotating beams, clamped off the axis of rotation, is unclear as to behavior in the limit of small stiffness and small off-clamping. In ...

Abstract: A new, simple dynamic model is developed for use in simulating draft-gear behavior in rail-car impacts. The model is based on an analysis of the individual components inside several types of ...
