Abstract: A 3-dimensional nonlinear method for analysis of underwater line structures is presented. This analysis method is formulated by the finite element method, and dynamic behavior of the structures ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the close conceptual relationships between time domain and frequency domain approaches to identification of modal parameters for linear systems. A frequency domain eigensystem ...

Abstract: Four by six-in. transversely anisotropic plates of 1/8 and 1/4 -in-thick pyrolytic graphite were subjected to transient heating in an oxyacetylene flame apparatus. At temperatures up to 1500 deg ...

Abstract: This paper describes the design of an on-line tool wear sensor for straight turning operations, which will lead to the realization of adaptive control for optimization (ACO). Tool wear is ...

Abstract: One key technology for the offshore development of the increasing water depth will be remotely operated installation and construction of flexible structure in the deep water or on the seabed. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a preliminary attempt to control the dynamic response of a towerlike offshore structure subjected to regular waves. The structures are modeled in two ways. One is a vertical ...

Abstract: A finite element model to simulate the elastic and slip responses of fusion magnets under operating loads is proposed. To represent the elastic actions, a material homogenization procedure based ...

Abstract: Concrete constitutive relations which can simulate the overall material behavior up to and including its ultimate state under general triaxial loading conditions have been developed. The proposed ...

Abstract: Automatic creation of B-rep models of engineering objects from freehand sketches would benefit designers. One step aims to take a line drawing (with hidden lines removed), and from it deduce ...

Abstract: Application of Data Dependent Systems (DDS) is proposed for diagnostic monitoring of vibrations. It is exemplified by monitoring tool wear via tool holder vibrations in a turning operation. ...
