Abstract: Circular bars under distributed torque are formulated based on the linear theory of elasticity, and analysis is presented for bars under a single Fourier term of distributed torque. As the motivation of the study is to ...

Abstract: A methodology for alleviating the deformation of cylindrical shells has been developed. The basic idea is to use piezoelectric ring stiffeners bonded to the surface of the shell to stiffen and counteract the deformation ...
