Abstract: A pseudostatistical technique utilizing linear system parameters for the determination of strain energy concentration patterns within shock-impacted structural systems forms the basis for identifying ...

Abstract: Compatibility and modal coupling, using Lagrangian multipliers as coupling mechanisms, establishes the dynamic influence of isotropic flat plates on spatial vibratory structures containing arbitrary ...

Abstract: An energy rate balance is employed to develop the incremental equations of motion for a shock loaded, inelastically constrained rigid-body structural system. Lagrangian multipliers provide the ...
