Abstract: This paper is concerned with the modeling of the human body as a spring mass system. Based on certain assumptions, an analysis for evaluating the mass and stiffness values of the model is ...

Abstract: This paper is an extension of an earlier work in which the present authors demonstrated the application of the differential quadrature method (DQM) to the steady-state analysis of incompressible ...

Abstract: This paper presents the very first application of the differential quadrature method to the solution of steady-state incompressible and compressible lubrication problems. It is shown that the ...

Abstract: A modified form of Reynolds equation is derived for the compressible lubrication of porous bearings. The analysis takes into account two kinds of nonadherence conditions on the sliding surfaces, ...

Abstract: By introducing the application of the differential quadrature method (DQM) to the dynamic analysis of thin circular cylindrical shells, the work of this paper makes a step forward in furthering ...
