Abstract: A theory of boundary eigensolutions is presented for boundary value problems in engineering mechanics. While the theory is quite general, the presentation here is restricted to potential problems. ...

Abstract: A general boundary element method (BEM) for the complete three-dimensional Biot consolidation theory is developed which operates directly in the time domain and requires only boundary discretization. ...

Abstract: Most recently, we have developed a novel multilevel boundary element method (MLBEM) for steady Stokes flows in irregular two-dimensional domains (Grigoriev, M.M., and Dargush, G.F., Comput. Methods. ...

Abstract: A boundary element approach is developed for problems of hot fluid-structure interaction. The structure is idealized as a thermoelastic solid, and a time-domain, boundary-only integral formulation ...

Abstract: Thermal expansion of the part can be a significant source of dimensional and form errors in precision machining operations. This paper describes a method for calculating the thermal expansion ...

Abstract: This paper presents an exploration of noncollinear Timoshenko beam structures for attenuating the stress waves generated from impulsive transient loadings. Due to the existence of the noncollinear segments, flexural waves ...

Abstract: An analytical approximate constitutive relation is derived for a form of fluid damper, which exhibits viscoelastic behavior. The damper is used for vibration isolation of piping systems and industrial equipment, as well ...

Abstract: Many devices such as seals, clutches, and brakes involve the thermomechanical contact of rough surfaces in sliding motion. The asperity level interactions which are highly localized depend upon ...

Abstract: A solution methodology is presented for computing the dynamic stiffnesses in all vibration modes of viscoelastic-fluid dampers with mechanical properties that depend strongly on both frequency and temperature. The method ...

Abstract: A general boundary‐element formulation is presented for the prediction of the dynamic response of fluids with viscoelastic behavior. The fluid is modeled by a generalized constitutive relation that contains either ...
