Abstract: The dynamic response of parametrically excited, axially moving viscoelastic belts is investigated in this paper. Results are compared to previous work in which the partial, not material, time ...

Abstract: One-way clutches and clutch bearings are being used in a wide variety of dynamic systems. Motivated by their recent use as ratchets in piezoelectric actuators and decoupling devices in serpentine ...

Abstract: In previous work, Mockensturm and Mote investigated the effects of twist on steady motions of an axially moving plate. It was found that twisting produces compressive stresses that increase ...
