Abstract: The hydrodynamic mass approach to the solution of dynamic problems in coupled fluid-cylindrical shells is reviewed; simplified equations for computing the hydrodynamic masses and for the subsequent ...

Abstract: An expression to calculate the buffeting response of a multispan tube bundle with nonconstant linear mass density is derived by generalizing Powell’s joint acceptance concept. Application of the ...

Abstract: The generalized hydrodynamic mass for the free vibration of two coaxial cylindrical shells coupled by a narrow fluid gap is derived by following a procedure similar to that mentioned in [1]; ...

Abstract: The dynamics of a system of two fluid-elastically coupled coaxial cylindrical shells is studied theoretically. The general equations of motion for free and forced-damped vibration are derived in ...

Abstract: The different techniques of assessing the flow-induced vibration problems of common power plant components are reviewed. The components are divided into categories of single cylinders, flat plates, ...

Abstract: This paper considers the free vibration of two coaxial cylinders with finite lengths immersed in a restricted fluid medium. The general coupled equations of motion are derived. Qualitative study ...

Abstract: Using closed-form and finite element solutions derived in Part I of this paper together with a standard commercial finite element structural-analysis computer program, the joint and cross acceptances ...

Abstract: The theoretical development of the acceptance integral method to estimate the random vibration of structures subject to turbulent flow is critically reviewed and put onto a firm mathematical ...

Abstract: Shoei-Sheng Chen, or S.-S. or more affectionately “Sunshine” as he was commonly known to his close friends and colleagues, was born in Ko-Lin Village in Dong-Shan County of I-Lan, Taiwan. He ...
