Abstract: A theoretical model to study the flexural vibration of a bonded lap joint system is described in this paper. First, equations of motion at the joint region are derived using a differential ...

Abstract: A technique is presented in which the effects on noise of changing diesel engine operating parameters can be predicted. Traditionally, the effects have been determined by experiment. The technique ...

Abstract: A procedure for designing dynamic vibration absorbers for a general mass-loaded beam system of variable cross-sectional area, when it is subjected to an arbitrarily distributed simple harmonic ...

Abstract: The transmission of sound and vibration through structures is of interest in many noise control problems, including architectural acoustics, sound transmission through aircraft, spacecraft and ...
