Abstract: A nonlinear building block approach (NLBBA) is proposed to evaluate frequency response characteristics of nonlinear structure systems including springs with nonlinear stiffness and clearances at ...

Abstract: Experimental and analytical investigations were conducted to identify the frequency response characteristics of a beam system with a minute clearance at the support. A beam in the shape of the ...

Abstract: Characteristics of errors which might occur in the straightness measurement method due to sequential-two-points were investigated. The investigation made it clear that the slight discrepancies of ...

Abstract: Surface roughness measurement by scanning electron microscope (SEM) is investigated. The investigation was made by a digital processing technique, which follows a study by the analog method. The ...

Abstract: An experimental and theoretical study is performed with a single stage pump. The influence of the flow rate, the axial displacement of the impeller, and annular seal clearances on the hydraulic ...

Abstract: The behavior of the self-excited chatter in cutting was investigated from the space phase point of view; the space phase is defined as that between outer and inner modulation. Records of ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the estimation method of wind force and current force acting on a very large floating structure. In this paper, as a very large floating structure, we consider a matlike ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development of an ultra-low NOx gas turbine combustor for cogeneration systems. The combustor, called a double swirler staged combustor, utilizes three-staged premixed ...

Abstract: Investigations were made on self-excited chatter of the work which is held at one end on a lathe machine. Analysis was carried out by a two-degrees-of-freedom system. It was verified that ...
