Abstract: The Kennard and Leibowitz method of obtaining the shear coefficient, by equating center-line curvature of a Timoshenko beam to the curvature of a beam subjected to uniform gravity loading, is ...

Abstract: In a recent article, Hutchinson 1 employed the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle to construct a beam theory of Timoshenko type, together with a new expression for the inherent shear ...

Abstract: Eigenvalue veering is studied in the context of two simple oscillators coupled by a (presumed weak) spring, variants of which have been considered by several authors. The concept of a center ...

Abstract: The self-equilibrated end load problem for a hollow circular cylinder is considered using the Papkovitch-Neuber solution to the elastostatic displacement equations of equilibrium; both axi- and ...

Abstract: The effect of uniform high-speed rotation on the simplest representation of a rotating blade is analyzed according to the linear theory of elasticity. The blade is modeled as a uniform prismatic ...
