Abstract: Imagine how much time and expense could be saved if virtual experiments were done prior to actual testing in order to have some confidence in the chosen parameters. Structural tension connection strength is often expressed ...

Abstract: In this case study, we present a teaching approach that promotes active learning in engineering classes. Students are provided with a combination of physical, mathematical, and computer simulation models that allow them ...

Abstract: The modern trend toward lighter and more flexible designs in rotating machinery brings with it increasing demands for ways to dissipate the excess energy transferred to such structures by the ...
