Abstract: Closed-form solutions are developed for elastic deformation characteristics of multilayered strands under tensile and torsional loads. These analytical results are successfully applied to obtain ...

Abstract: This papers develops closed-form solutions for the extension of twisted wire ropes with fibrous cores which are subjected to axial forces as well as axial moments. The analytical results are ...

Abstract: This paper considers the steady-state response due to unbalance of a planar rigid rotor carried in a short squeeze film damper with linear centering spring. The damper fluid forces are determined ...

Abstract: First, an attempt is made to experimentally test the validity of the linear deformation derivative results earlier developed for the multilayered wire-rope strands under tension and torsion. The ...

Abstract: Detonation cell widths of hydrogen/oxygen/helium/steam mixtures were determined in 15 and 30-cm internal-diameter pipes using the smoked-foil technique. The investigations were carried out over a ...

Abstract: Soil geology plays an important role in selection of core soil for constructing rock-fill dams and in geotechnical evaluation while constructing major structures. Inferring the geology formations in the region between one ...

Abstract: This paper considers the methodology of numerical integration for prediction of dynamic response of squeeze film damper systems. A planar rotor carried in a squeeze film damper with linear ...

Abstract: Thermal buckling analysis of laminated smart composite plates subjected to uniform temperature distribution has been presented. Shape memory alloy (SMA) fibers whose material properties depend on temperature have been used ...

Abstract: The principal sources of error in the trip patterns estimated by cross‐sectional‐type trip distribution models are their inability to capture the spatial evolution of urban areas and the socioeconomic biases in the spatial ...

Abstract: The fundamental theory of wire ropes developed by Costello and Phillips is utilized to obtain closed-form expressions for maximum contact stresses in single strand cables with fibrous cores. ...
