Abstract: In this paper, a safety envelope concept for load tolerance is introduced. This shows the capacity of the current design as a future reference for design upgrade, maintenance, and control. The ...

Abstract: In this paper, two procedures to analyze planar multibody systems experiencing wear at a revolute joint are compared. In both procedures, the revolute joint of interest includes a clearance ...

Abstract: Mechanical properties of materials in small-scale applications, such as thin coatings, are often different from those of bulk materials due to the difference in the manufacturing process. Indentation ...

Abstract: This paper investigates two different temporal finite element techniques, a multiple element (h-version) and single element (p-version) method, to analyze the stability of a system with a ...

Abstract: A noise-vibration-harshness (NVH) design optimization of a complex vehicle structure is presented using finite element and boundary element analyses. The steady-state dynamic behavior of the vehicle ...
