Abstract: Although classical suspension bridges have been designed for over 70 years using the deflection theory, it is difficult to obtain from literature a clear understanding of their structural action. The all‐important “gravity ...

Abstract: spectrometer for height-resolved measurements of the Raman backscatter-coefficient spectrum of water in its gaseous and condensed phases is presented. The spectrometer is fiber coupled to the far-range receiver of the Raman ...

Abstract: In this study, the load-depth (P‐h) relationships matching the experimental results of the nanoindentation tests exhibited at the subregions of small and large depths are obtained, respectively. ...

Abstract: At the DLR Solar Furnace, calorimeters or circular foil radiometers are used for calibrating video camera based flux mapping systems. For many years, we have been investigating the accuracy of ...

Abstract: The vibration and stability of a spinning disk under follower edge tractions are studied both numerically and analytically. The edge traction is circumferentially stationary in the space. When ...

Abstract: The natural frequencies and stability of a string traveling between two fixed supports and in contact with a stationary load system, which contains such parameters as dry friction, inertia, ...

Abstract: The relationship of torque versus angle of rotation stabilizes after only a few cycles so that the alternating stress will become a constant as long as the maximum shear stress is less than ...
