Abstract: This work offers the first known three-dimensional continuum vibration analysis for rotating, laminated composite blades. A cornerstone of this work is that the dynamic energies of the rotating ...

Abstract: Transverse displacement and rotation eigenfunctions for the bending of moderately thick plates are derived for the Mindlin plate theory so as to satisfy exactly the differential equations of ...

Abstract: A theoretical evaluation was conducted delineating how aeromechanical feedback control can be utilized to stabilize the inception of rotating stall in axial compressors. Ten aeromechanical control ...

Abstract: This two-part paper presents general methodologies for the evaluation of passive compressor stabilization strategies using tailored structural design and aeromechanical feedback control (Part I), ...

Abstract: A procedure is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes of sectorial plates having re-entrant corners (i.e., vertex angles exceeding 180 degrees). No correct results ...

Abstract: The first known exact analytical solutions are derived for the free vibrations of sectorial thin plates having their radial edges simply supported, with arbitrary conditions along their circular ...

Abstract: This is the first known work which explicitly considers the bending stress singularities that occur in the two opposite, obtuse corner angles of simply supported rhombic plates undergoing free, ...

Abstract: This paper reports the first known free vibration solutions for thin circular plates with V-notches having various edge conditions. The classical Ritz method is employed with two sets of admissible functions assumed for ...
