Abstract: Natural frequency coefficients of rectangular plates and the corresponding plate characteristic functions are obtained by reduction of plate partial differential equation to an ordinary differential ...

Abstract: Scale model approach in thermal testing of aircraft components has been proposed in this study. The idea of thermal scaling has been validated experimentally. Quite often, it may not be possible to carry out experimental ...

Abstract: The vibration of a helical geared shaft system is studied, considering the coupling between the torsional, flexural, rotational (about the diametral axis), and axial motions of the gear carrying ...

Abstract: Response of rotor systems subjected to random support excitations is studied. Support excitations may occur for rotating machines installed either on the ground due to earthquake motion, or on ...

Abstract: A modal reduction technique is discussed and proposed for solving rotor-dynamic problems. The component mode method is used to model a rotor shaft, and the resulting system matrices are reduced ...

Abstract: Forced vibration of a cavity backed rectangular plate is widely used to study the physics of noise transmission into an enclosure. In this context, the cavity backed plate is a dynamical ...

Abstract: The natural frequencies and natural modes of vibration of uniform elliptic plates with clamped, simply supported and free boundaries are investigated using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. A modified ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of a belt moving on an elastic foundation and supported on two pulleys at the ends is investigated. The problem is formulated to include the nonlinear terms arising from ...

Abstract: Optimization techniques are employed to design hydrodynamic bearings for minimum unbalance response of rotors in synchronous whirl. The analysis for the unbalance response considers the effects ...
