Abstract: The Vlasov–Leont’ev foundation model describes the soil displacement field as a product of separable functions and utilizes the calculus of variation to obtain the governing differential equations describing the motion of ...

Abstract: This article demonstrates a new formulation for lateral dynamic stiffness of a pile floating in a homogeneous half-space. In the formulation, the soil domain adjacent to the pile is modeled as a three-dimensional continuum ...

Abstract: Stiffness and consistent mass matrices for linearly tapered beam element of any cross‐sectional shape are derived in explicit form. Exact expressions for the required displacement functions are used in the derivation of ...

Abstract: An approximate energy method for evaluating the buckling capacity of coped beams subjected to concentrated load at the mid‐span has been developed. The method consists of evaluating several trial buckling loads by varying ...

Abstract: Computer simulations of the dynamics performance of roller bearings, as obtained by the computer code ADORE, are used to model the infuence of race out-of-roundness, race taper and centrality ...

Abstract: Computer simulations of dynamic bearing performance, as obtained by the computer code ADORE, are used to develop correlations between key performance parameters and geometrical imperfections in ...

Abstract: The general motion of a roller and the cage in a tapered roller bearing is modeled as a function of frictional behavior in the bearing and cage clearances. Roller skew is shown to increase ...

Abstract: Dynamic correction stiffness and mass matrices are derived in explicit form for a tapered beam element of any cross‐sectional shape. These matrices are derived using exact expressions for the required displacement functions. ...
