Abstract: This paper presents quantitative information regarding the validity of certain approximations applicable to sandwich plate analysis. Equations are developed for each approximate theory. Results given ...

Abstract: A closed-form solution of the subject problem is presented. The analytical method resembles that used by Bleich (1933) to study curved beams of I or T section. It is found that the circumferential ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis and a discussion of the design of axially symmetric coupled tube sheets of constant thickness, subject to mechanical and thermal loads. The ...

Abstract: A finite element method is applied to analyze the dynamic response of a beam supported by layered inertial foundation and subjected to moving loads. The foundation is represented by the modified ...
