Abstract: Many computer programs are available for stability and critical speed analysis of rotor-bearing systems. The iterative search-transfer matrix method is widely used for such programs. However, this ...

Abstract: The ability to analyze accurately the torsional-axial-lateral coupled response of geared systems is the key to the prediction of dynamic gear forces, shaft moments and torques, dynamic reaction ...

Abstract: The equations which describe the three-dimensional motion of an unbalanced rigid disk in a shaft system are nonlinear and contain dynamic-coupling terms. Traditionally, investigators have used an ...

Abstract: For many years, engineers and scientists have sought to deal with the many phenomena exhibiting parametric characteristics. While many approximate techniques are available for the analysis of ...

Abstract: Pushrod-type valve trains are still found in many engines. Since a vertical pushrod causes interference with the intake port, which reduces engine power, the pushrod is sometimes tilted to ...
