Abstract: The minimum principle and step-by-step iteration method are generalized for coupled simultaneous differential equations in order to obtain an approximate solution for the flexural vibration frequencies ...

Abstract: A computational study of the feedback control of the magnitude of the lift in flow around a cylinder is presented. The uncontrolled flow exhibits an unsymmetric Karman vortex street and a ...

Abstract: This Note is concerned with the impact between an indenter and a plate through a linear spring. The plate is sufficiently large to ignore reflections from its boundaries. Calculations are made ...

Abstract: An analysis is made of the effects of flexibility on the lubrication of a loaded journal bearing. Numerical and graphical results are presented for (a) the pressure distributions in the oil ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the impact between a sphere and a flat surface covered by an oil film. Pressure distributions are found as functions of time for oils whose viscosities are ...

Abstract: A simple model is presented for studying the impact between a rigid sphere and a thin layer of relatively soft material supported on a rigid substrate. By assuming that the major loss of ...

Abstract: The research presented in this paper is an analytical study of the vibrations associated with planar mechanical linkages. Specifically, the vibrations of a high-speed slider-crank mechanism with ...
