Abstract: The forced vibrations of a buckled beam show nonperiodic, chaotic behavior for forced deterministic excitations. Using magnetic forces to buckle the beam, two and three stable equilibrium positions ...

Abstract: The distribution of scattered energy due to the interaction of spherical elastic dilatational waves with a spherical cavity is found to differ from that due to plane waves for long wavelengths ...

Abstract: A 16 coil superconducting torus is used to study magnetoelastic instabilities in a set of current carrying elastic rings. The torus is a 1/75th model of a proposed magnetic fusion reactor. ...

Abstract: Experimental evidence and a theoretical model are presented for the magnetoelastic buckling of a rigid superconducting ring in a steady circumferential (toroidal)magnetic field. The theoretical ...

Abstract: Problems involving the interaction of electromagnetic material effects and forces with stresses, deformations, and dynamics span a wide spectrum from thermal strain problems in microelectronic chips ...

Abstract: New discoveries have been made recently about the nature of complex motions in nonlinear dynamics. These new concepts are changing many of the ideas about dynamical systems in physics and in ...

Abstract: The stresses and displacements induced in anisotropic plates by short-duration impact line forces are calculated in this paper. The anisotropy is related to the lay-up angles of the fibers of ...

Abstract: The decrease in lateral stiffness with increase in current and subsequent buckling of a flexible superconducting coil in a three coil partial torus is reported. The instability was observed for ...
