Abstract: Paper concerns the plane-strain problem of a rigid, thin, rounded inclusion pressed between two isotropic elastic half planes with different elastic constants. Required to find the extents of ...

Abstract: The paper concerns the plane-strain problem of a rigid cylinder pressed between two identical elastic layers supported by rigid bases along which they may slide without friction. The essential ...

Abstract: Paper considers plane, frictionless, unbonded contact problems. It is shown that the integral equation relating the unknown contact pressure to the specified displacement in the contact region ...

Abstract: Galin derived an expression for the pressure produced under a rigid circular punch by the application of a concentrated load at another point of the half space. This result is used to derive ...

Abstract: In FE model updating, as in any identification procedure, we select some parameters in the model, and try to fine-tune them to minimize the discrepancy between the model predictions and the ...

Abstract: Depending on the speed of rotation, a gyroscopic system may lose or gain stability. The paper characterizes the critical angular velocities at which a conservative gyroscopic system may change ...

Abstract: The nature and the size of the cutting forces were investigated to develop a model that accounts for their fluctuation. Due to the interaction between the velocity of the power cylinder and ...
