Abstract: Governing equations for the analysis of pressure transient are derived from the principle of conservation of mass and momentum for a pneumatic brake system, which consists of a train pipe ...

Abstract: Vibration analysis of a simple flexible system mounted arbitrarily on a three-layer sandwich beam having a viscoelastic core and elastic faces is presented in this paper. The flexible system ...

Abstract: The stability characteristics of a rotor-bearing system which indicate the threshold of instability are generally obtained by applying the Routh-Hurwitz criterion to the characteristic polynomial. ...
