Abstract: The fatigue life at high operating speeds of machine components, such as bearings, gears, and cams, depends upon the shape and magnitude of the elastohydrodynamic pressure distribution. Studies ...

Abstract: The axisymmetric resonant frequency response of static pressure loaded, nonlinear clamped, circular plates have been investigated analytically and experimentally. In the analysis, the set of nonlinear ...

Abstract: In this paper the critical combinations of uniform pressures and concentrated loads at the apex acting on shallow spherical shells have been determined analytically and experimentally. The ...

Abstract: Analytical and experimental investigations have been performed in a study of longitudinal inertia effects upon the parametric response of a column under an axial load P(t) = P0 + P1 cos γt. ...

Abstract: Parametric instability of thin, circular cylindrical shells subjected to in-plane longitudinal inertia loading arising from sinusoidal base excitation has been investigated analytically and experimentally. ...

Abstract: The dynamic stability and nonlinear response of simply-supported rectangular plates subjected to parametric excitation are investigated. The large-deflection plate theory used in the analysis is ...
