Abstract: The effect of two-to-one internal resonances on the nonlinear response of a pressure relief valve is studied. The fluid valve is modeled as a distributed parameter system at one end and ...

Abstract: A two-degree-of-freedom model of a rotating machine with nonlinear springs of quadratic type is studied. The multiple scales method is used to investigate the nonlinear oscillations of the forced ...

Abstract: The plane problem of an elastic elliptic inclusion containing a crack is solved. Complex potentials presented by Qaissaunee (1992) for an edge dislocation inside an elastic elliptical inclusion ...

Abstract: A novel technique is presented for the fabrication and fracture testing of large-scale polymeric based Functionality Graded Materials (FGMs). The technique generates a continuously inhomogeneous ...
