Abstract: Recent studies have presented first-order multiple time scale approaches for exploring amplitude-dependent plane-wave dispersion in weakly nonlinear chains and lattices characterized by cubic stiffness. These analyses have ...

Abstract: The member stiffness and pressure distribution in a bolted joint is significantly influenced by the contact area of the mechanical interface under a prescribed preload force. This research explores the influence of as-built ...

Abstract: Reciprocity is a property of linear, time-invariant systems whereby the energy transmission from a source to a receiver is unchanged after exchanging the source and receiver. Nonreciprocity violates this property and can ...
