Abstract: Ultrasonic block horns are prone to reliability problems associated with modal activity close to the tuned operating frequency. This paper presents an approach to block horn design, which relies ...

Abstract: In the first section, operating results are reported for the TGV high speed trains (

Abstract: This paper describes a closed‐form solution based on thin‐walled member theory for the out‐of‐plane buckling of thin rings of an open cross section. The theory considers the practical features of restraint and loading ...
