Abstract: The problem of stability of motion of elastic planar linkages is considered in the context of the classical Euler-Bernoulli equations of motion. The case of slider-crank mechanism is considered ...

Abstract: The effect of coupling with torsion on the unbalance response of flexible rotors, supported by isotropic flexible and damped bearings is investigated. Flexural vibrations of the shaft-disk system ...

Abstract: The vibration of beams can be suppressed by a set of discrete actuators associated with a causal optimal, coupled-modal control algorithm which is derived from minimizing a time-dependent weighted ...

Abstract: A comparison of the performances of three different base‐isolation systems, the laminated rubber bearing system, the New Zealand system, and the resilient‐friction base isolator system, is made under the same set of criteria. ...
