Abstract: In this paper, bifurcations of a nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom system subjected to a narrow-band stochastic excitation are investigated. Under the assumption that the correlation time greatly ...

Abstract: This investigation of compliant journal bearings is directed toward the fundamental behavior characteristics which are necessary when compliance is factored into the final design. Analytical ...

Abstract: On single aluminum crystals under cyclic loadings, fresh slip lines appeared during the reversed loading, lying very close to, but not coincident with the slip lines formed in the forward ...

Abstract: An analytical method for predicting the elastoplastic bending of rectangular plates with large deflection is studied. The effects of plastic strain and large deflection on plate deformation are ...

Abstract: The calculation of large bending deflections of thin plates by available techniques are either too difficult to use or are limited to deflections which are below 20 percent of the plate’s ...

Abstract: Extrusions and intrusions often are sites of fatigue cracks. The extent of extrusions is important in fatigue crack initiation. Metals often are subject to fatigue loadings at elevated temperatures. ...

Abstract: Impact caused by bar-shaped falling objects from third-party activities could damage submarine pipelines seriously. In this paper, numerical simulation models of submarine pipelines are established to investigate the damage ...

Abstract: The active control of rotordynamic vibrations and stability by magnetic bearings and electromagnetic shakers has been discussed extensively in the literature. These devices, though effective, are ...

Abstract: The application of piezoelectric actuators for active vibration control (AVC) of rotating machinery is examined. Theory is derived and the resulting predictions are shown to agree closely with ...
