Abstract: A method is presented for calculating the dynamics of a dual-rotor gas turbine engine equipped with a flexible intershaft squeeze-film damper. The method is based on the functional expansion ...

Abstract: The Equivalent Rigid Link System (ERLS) is presented for the analysis of the kinematics of manipulators with flexible links. The concept of the ERLS is to separate the rigid-body dynamics and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a dynamic model for the robotic manipulators with flexible links by means of the Finite Element Method and Lagrange’s formulation. By the concept of the Equivalent Rigid ...

Abstract: The Equivalent Rigid Link System (ERLS) dynamic model offered a complete representation for the dynamics of flexible manipulators. The equations of motion were separated into a nonlinear large ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the steady-state unbalance response of a dual-rotor gas turbine engine with a flexible intershaft squeeze film damper using a simplified transfer matrix method. ...

Abstract: A multi-cylinder refrigerant compressor was analytically modeled and simulated on a digital computer. The modeling includes the kinematics of the mechanical compressor, the thermodynamic processes ...

Abstract: Standard transmission photoelastic techniques were used to determine the resultant stress concentration factors produced by multiple stress raisers in flat, rectangular bars under uniaxial tension. ...

Abstract: Transverse impact problems have recently been solved by several different methods including Timoshenko’s integral equation method, the energy method, and the finite element method. This paper ...

Abstract: In duct acoustics, analytical solutions are difficult to obtain because of the presence of flow, boundary impedance, and complicated geometry. A Galerkin isoparametric finite element based on a ...
