Abstract: Improved equations governing the deflection of an unsymmetric sandwich beam (which include the effect of extensional and bending rigidities of its stiff core) are derived using a variational ...

Abstract: The sandwich beam analyzed in the present paper consists of layers of elastic and viscoelastic material of arbitrary thickness and material. No restrictive assumptions are made on the bending ...

Abstract: A detailed static deflection and stress analysis of three-layered sandwich cantilever beams, subjected to both uniform as well as concentrated loads, is presented here. Three types of boundary ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the stiffness of a magnetic bearing that is subjected to the combined action of static and dynamic loads. Since their sum cannot exceed the saturation load, a large ...
