Abstract: Several forms of novel suspension systems for passenger-carrying vehicles are currently being investigated throughout the world. Most of these, however, are aimed at high-speed, intercity transport ...

Abstract: High speed operation of conventional rail vehicles is limited by a number of dynamic problems including ride quality, curve negotiation, and hunting. Active control is investigated as a technique ...

Abstract: In this paper, the finite element method has been applied to solve free and forced vibration problems of isotropic and laminated composite shells with and without cutouts employing the eight-node isoparametric finite element ...

Abstract: The present paper concerns the hydrodynamic coupling of fluid with laminated composite cylinders under small displacements. A numerical model using finite-element technique is presented to study the dynamics of inviscid, ...
