Abstract: The large deflections of a clamped circular plate are investigated over a wide range of transverse loadings and initial in-plane tension loads. The continuous transition from plate behavior to ...

Abstract: A thin platelike cantilever beam, well below static lateral buckling under gravity, is subjected to vertical harmonic excitation of its base. The governing equations indicate combination resonance ...

Abstract: At a critical speed, a light aircraft can experience severe vibrations in steady flight in which the propeller blades vibrate at one frequency while the engine block vibrates at a lower ...

Abstract: A buckled beam with fixed ends, excited by the harmonic motion of its supporting base, was investigated analytically and experimentally. Using Galerkin’s method the governing partial differential ...

Abstract: A straight beam with fixed ends, excited by the periodic motion of its supporting base in a direction normal to the beam span, was investigated analytically and experimentally. By using ...

Abstract: A new method for dynamic control of centrifugal compressor surge is presented. The approach taken is to suppress surge by modifying the compression system dynamic behavior using structural ...
