Abstract: Transmissibility expressions that take wave effects into account are derived for masses mounted on highly viscoelastic leaf springs and compression springs. Approximations suitable for large ratios ...

Abstract: Expressions are derived which relate the maximum stresses encountered in simply supported beams and rectangular plates and in clamped circular plates vibrating at resonance to modal displacements ...

Abstract: The “statistical energy analysis” approach provides a relatively simple means for understanding and estimating the significant properties of multimodal random vibrations of complex systems, since ...

Abstract: A simple semigraphical method for calculating the natural frequencies of two-plate systems is developed, a two-plate system being one made up of two rectangular plates simply supported at all ...

Abstract: Two sets of expressions are obtained for residual stresses and deformations resulting from bending processes in which initially flat sheets are permanently deformed to sheets having finite radii ...

Abstract: A simple procedure is developed for calculating the circumferential temperature distributions in tubes exposed to nonuniform radiation. Convection to the fluid in the tubes and circumferential ...

Abstract: Approaches are discussed for addressing concerns regarding the effects of construction-related vibrations on sensitive instrumentation and activities. The availability of related vibration criteria is noted, the limitations ...

Abstract: Expressions are derived which give the internal loads and deformations of a relatively stiff ring which is mounted on an elastic cylinder. Three basic types of loads acting on the ring are ...
