Abstract: Dynamic snap-through criteria are compared for an impulsively loaded shallow circular arch modeled as a Kelvin-Voigt material. The Budinasky-Roth criterion is used in conjunction with direct ...

Abstract: The special case of horizontal wave forces on large vertical cylinders in deep water is considered. The typical application for such a case is the calculation of horizontal forces on column ...

Abstract: The large-bore engines of the 1970s and 1980s have seen tremendous amounts of technological improvements. The key buzzwords were: “Lower the emissions, and improve the fuel consumption.” As we ...

Abstract: The effect of the spatial distribution of impulsive loads on dynamic snap-through of a shallow circular arch is considered in detail. The Budiansky-Roth criterion is used to establish critical ...
