Abstract: Biaxial strains were measured at the roots of single notches in zirconium alloy specimens under loading and creep conditions (up to 1200 hours) at 250°C. A laser-based interferometric ...

Abstract: The system identification method was applied to experimentally investigate the dynamic characteristics of slider-air bearings in hard disk drives. The transient responses of sliders were measured, ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of identifying a system of forces from vehicle crossing a guideway using only the vibration responses caused by the forces as the input without knowledge of ...

Abstract: The problem of a large isotropic plate with a circular hole or rigid circular inclusion is considered here. The plate experiences transverse shear deformation and is subjected to an arbitrary ...

Abstract: The mathematical models are critical for accurate simulation of the dynamic load/unload (L/UL) process in disk drives. The air bearing slider and the suspension are the most important parts in ...

Abstract: Several methods have been developed to identify forces moving on a beam from measured responses. The results from all of them exhibit fluctuations at the beginning and end of the time history, and they are results of the ...
