Abstract: In order to obtain a fast solution scheme, the trajectory piecewise linear (TPWL) method is applied to the transient elastohydrodynamic (EHD) line contact problem for the first time. TPWL approximates the nonlinearity of ...

Abstract: Over the past few decades, folding paper has extended beyond the origami deployable applications to reach the engineering field. Nevertheless, mechanical information about paper behavior is still lacking, especially during ...

Abstract: The effect of uncertainties in material and geometric parameters on the acoustic performance of a viscoelastic coating is investigated. The model of the coating comprises a structure conventionally used in underwater ...
