Abstract: The problem of two normally intersecting cylindrical shells subjected to internal pressure is considered. The differential equations used for the shells are solved subject to the boundary conditions ...

Abstract: This paper develops a general procedure for solving mechanism problems where intermittent separations and impacts can occur between mating parts. The numerical technique employed to solve the ...

Abstract: This report describes a parametric approach for the stress analysis of orthogonally stiffened rectangular plates. The analysis assumes that the deflection of an orthogonally stiffened plate is ...
