Abstract: The effects of cylindrically curvilinear mechanical and thermal material anisotropy on the stationary thermoelastic fields of generally laminated cylinders are studied. To model the stated problem, ...

Abstract: Within the framework of Kirchhoff-type prestressed plate theory, the steady-state response of a viscoelastic plate strip on a nonlinear dissipative foundation to the action of general traveling ...

Abstract: Based on 3-D thermoelasticity theory, the effects of mechanical and thermal material anisotropy on the local stationary fields of generally laminated plates are investigated. In particular, to ...

Abstract: The thermoelasticity of an anisotropic Hookean half space is studied herein. A solution based on successive integral transforms is developed. The solution can handle arbitrary thermal and mechanical ...

Abstract: This paper considers the transient analysis of rub problems in high-speed rotating equipment that involve interactions between the rotor, blades, and casing. Special emphasis is given to ascertaining ...

Abstract: Rub interactions between a rotor assembly and its corresponding casing structure has long been one of the major causes for machine failure. Fracture/fatigue failures of turbine impeller blade ...

Abstract: The study of the dynamics of turbomachinery during seismic events has been of continuous interest to both researchers and designers of large rotating equipment. Failure in such equipment, ...

Abstract: There is currently a considerable interest and level of activity in developing computational schemes to predict general engine dynamic behavior. The general feeling among researchers working on ...
