Abstract: This paper presents an analytical model for thermoelastic damping (TED) in micromechanical resonators, which is based on entropy generation, a thermodynamic parameter measuring the irreversibility in heat conduction. The ...

Abstract: Regarding constrained mechanical systems, we are faced with index3 differentialalgebraic equation (DAE) systems. Direct discretization of the index3 DAE systems only enforces the position constraints to be fulfilled at the ...

Abstract: Rodfastened rotors are composed of some disks clamped together by a central tie rod or several tie rods distributed along the circumference. Due to the nonlinear flexural stiffness of the contact interfaces in disks, ...

Abstract: The numerical stability and the convergence behavior of cosimulation methods are analyzed in this manuscript. We investigate explicit and implicit coupling schemes with different approximation orders and discuss three ...

Abstract: The elastohydrodynamic (EHD) traction coefficients of a lubricating grease LGLT2 were tested at various loads and rolling speeds on a selfmade test rig. Traction coefficient versus slidetoroll ratio curves were generated. ...

Abstract: In this manuscript, an implicit cosimulation method is analyzed, where the solvers are coupled by algebraic constraint equations. We discuss cosimulation approaches on index2 and on index1 level and investigate constant, ...

Abstract: Thermoelastic damping (TED) has been recognized as a significant mechanism of energy loss in vacuumoperated microresonators. Threelayered microbeams are common elements in many microresonators. However, only the model for ...

Abstract: A detailed elastogasdynamic model of a preloaded three-pad air foil journal bearing is presented. Bump and top foil deflections are herein calculated with a nonlinear beamshell theory according to Reissner. The two-dimensional ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an integrated vehicle dynamics control system that aims to enhance vehicles handling stability and safety performance by coordinating active front steering (AFS) and active suspension systems (ASS). The ...

Abstract: In a companion paper,ff2 we have obtained the closed-form solutions to the stress and strain fields of a two-dimensional Eshelby inclusion. The current work is concerned with the complementary formulation of the displacement. ...
