Abstract: In a moderately large deflection plate theory of von Karman and Chu-Herrmann, one may consider thin-plate equations of either the transverse and in-plane displacements, w-u-v formulation, or the ...

Abstract: For a simply supported large-amplitude deflected plate, Fourier expansion of displacement reduces the nonlinear plate equation to a system of infinitely coupled modal equations. To close off this ...

Abstract: A fundamental investigation is reported on the mechanics of the bore honing process. An experimental test rig was developed consisting of a honing machine instrumented with sensors to measure ...

Abstract: A noise source identification technique is proposed for industrial applications by using a microphone array and beamforming algorithms. Both of the directions and the distances of long-range noise ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was undertaken to determine those scaling parameters applicable to measuring the mass flow rate of gas-particle suspensions through venturis. It was found that Stokes ...

Abstract: A simulation model of valve train dynamics was developed in order to investigate the vibrational behavior of a valve train under heavy normal load, especially for heavy-duty diesel engines. The ...

Abstract: The problem of nonsynchronous whirl induced by internal friction is shown to be important when rotating machinery is designed for operation at supercritical speeds. Mathematical methods are used ...

Abstract: Corrections were made to Table 1 where the number of significant digits therein were increased to twelve, which is necessary to obtain accurate numerical results (tables available for download ...
