Abstract: Americans need to know more about what solar energy can do, how its exploitation can affect our national well-being, and why it is essential that it be generously publicly funded now. We are ...

Abstract: In the early design of compressors and turbines, it was of importance to locate the rotor critical speeds so as to insure that a turbo rotor would not be operating at a critical speed. As ...

Abstract: Gas hydrates (clathrates) are molecular compounds with crystalline structure, formed under certain conditions of pressure and temperature for which gas molecules occupy structural lattices formed ...

Abstract: General solution for thermal spreading and system resistances of a circular source on a finite circular cylinder with uniform side and end cooling is presented. The solution is applicable for ...

Abstract: The Timoshenko beam theory includes the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia on the vibrations of slender beams. The theory contains a shear coefficient which has been the subject ...

Abstract: It was recently shown that the shear coefficient for a rectangular Timoshenko beam is highly dependent on the aspect ratio of the beam. This research investigates the reasons for that behavior ...

Abstract: A theory for the bending of cord composite laminate cylindrical shells is developed. The extension-twist coupling of the cords is taken into account. The general case of a circular cylindrical ...

Abstract: Virtually all previous research on thermally induced vibrations has investigated vibrations caused by surface heating. This paper describes the first detailed study of a thermally induced vibration ...
