Abstract: The equations of motion of a linear elastic solid have been used to study the propagation of transient compressional disturbances in anisotropic plates, generated by several types of surface ...

Abstract: The problem treated is that of an infinite free plate with a circular cylindrical cavity subjected to a step normal displacement. The linear equations of elasticity are employed and the formal ...

Abstract: A theoretical and computational model to study the dynamics of a radially rotating beam with impact were presented in Part 1. In this paper the experimental results are presented and they are ...

Abstract: A model is presented for the dynamics of a radially rotating beam with impact. The model uses a momentum balance method and a coefficient of restitution, and enables one to predict the rigid ...

Abstract: The response of a rotating Rayleigh beam subjected to an axially accelerated distributed surface line load is studied. Clamped-clamped, clamped-pinned, and clamped-free support conditions and four ...

Abstract: Forced torsional and extensional motions and static strength of rotating, tapered, filament-wound composite shafts subject to deflection-dependent cutting forces typical of end-milling and boring ...

Abstract: A dynamic model for flexible manipulators with prismatic joints is presented in Part I of this study. Floating frames following a nominal rigid body motion are introduced to describe the ...

Abstract: In [1] a dynamic model for flexible manipulators with prismatic joints and the solution method were presented. In this paper experiments on a spherical coordinate robot are performed to further ...

Abstract: The sensitivities of the eigensystem of a manipulator’s generalized inertia matrix with respect to kinematic (geometric and joint variable) parameters are used to form a set of indices as a ...
