Abstract: Parametric vibration of initially curved columns loaded by axial-periodic loads has received considerable attention, concluding that regions of instability exist and that excitation frequencies less ...

Abstract: A study of the dynamic stability of a slider-crank mechanism with an undamped elastic connecting rod is presented using the Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories. It is shown that new ...

Abstract: A study of the effect of internal material damping on the dynamic response behavior of a slider-crank mechanism is presented in this paper. In developing the governing equations of motion, an ...

Abstract: Bounds on inelastic strain ranges and maximum residual stresses introduced by transient operating conditions are obtained. These strain ranges and maximum residual stresses can be used to determine ...

Abstract: Perforated plates with a uniform triangular penetration pattern subjected to alternating loads are analyzed. The cases of equibiaxial and shear loading are considered and the finite element method ...

Abstract: Steady creep solutions are obtained for perforated materials under various loading conditions. Norton’s creep power law is used and the plane stress problem is analyzed for both the triangular ...
