Abstract: A fractional‐derivative Maxwell model is proposed for viscous dampers, which are used for vibration isolation of piping systems, forging hammers, and other industrial equipment, as well as for vibration and seismic isolation ...

Abstract: Using a “systematic relaxation of constraints” technique, a plane‐strain solution is derived for stresses in an elastic orthotropic quarter space loaded by a normal concentrated line load at a distance

Abstract: In this paper it is shown that the order of time derivative and the coefficients in linear viscoelastic models can be generalized to complex quantities. In this approach, the storage and loss moduli are not regarded as two ...

Abstract: A solution is derived for stresses in an orthotropic quarter plane loaded by (1) A tangential concentrated line load at distance

Abstract: Further results on the frictional properties of Teflon-steel interfaces in sliding bearings are reported. Values of the breakaway (static) and sliding coefficients of friction of woven Teflon in contact with polished ...

Abstract: A sliding isolation system consisting of Teflon disc bearings and helical steel springs is described. The springs carry no vertical load and provide bilinear restoring force without hysteresis when deformed in shear. The ...

Abstract: The writers presented in an earlier paper a mathematical model of friction of sliding bearings under conditions of compression and bidirectional motion. The model could account for the dependence of the coefficient of ...

Abstract: An analytical approximate constitutive relation is derived for a form of fluid damper, which exhibits viscoelastic behavior. The damper is used for vibration isolation of piping systems and industrial equipment, as well ...
