Abstract: Experience has shown that energy dissipation due to rubbing at interfaces of engine blade shrouds provides damping of bladed disk assemblies. An accurate estimate of such damping has been a ...

Abstract: This research investigated the addition of flexibility into a CBN grinding wheel to suppress regenerative chatter, and illustrates some design features that should be present in such a wheel. ...

Abstract: A novel damped outrigger system has been recently proposed for tall buildings, and is quite promising. To gain insight into the conceptual design of such systems, a simple beam-damper system model for a building with such ...
