Abstract: Steered vehicles on slippery roads tend to slide outward with less lateral force than on high friction roads. In this paper, an active steering control method is proposed such that the vehicles ...

Abstract: This paper identifies various modeling issues that are necessary for successful simulation of the cold rolling process by comparing it with experiments on aluminum alloys. It combines considerable ...

Abstract: Asymptotically correct, linear theory is presented for thin-walled prismatic beams made of generally anisotropic materials. Consistent use of small parameters that are intrinsic to the problem ...

Abstract: An iterative method for approximate analytical solution of elasticity problems in composite laminates is presented. The stress analysis is performed for laminates in the three-dimensional strain ...

Abstract: A geometrically nonlinear shear deformation theory has been developed for elastic shells to accommodate a constitutive model suitable for composite shells when modeled as a two-dimensional continuum. ...

Abstract: Should an interface crack between the layers of the composite face-sheet or between the core and the composite face-sheet of a sandwich beam/plate exists, local buckling and possible subsequent ...

Abstract: The original three-dimensional elasticity problem of isotropic prismatic beams has been solved analytically by the variational asymptotic method (VAM). The resulting classical model (Euler-Bernoulli-like) ...

Abstract: An infinite bimaterial system made of two dissimilar, transversely isotropic materials bonded together (with the lower material being mathematically degenerate) and subject to remote loads is ...

Abstract: Wavelet filtering is combined with cyclostationary analysis for detection of gear tooth faults in a gearbox. The parameters of the wavelet filter are optimized by using the proposed entropy ...

Abstract: A wave rotor is proposed for use as a constant volume combustor. A novel design feature is investigated as a remedy for hot gas leakage, premature ignition, and pollutant emissions that are ...
