Abstract: A generalized approach to predict the physical instability mechanisms that are involved in the interaction between a rotating flexible disk and a stationary constraining system is developed. Based ...

Abstract: A procedure for obtaining closed-form homogeneous solutions for the problem of vibration of a discrete viscoelastic system is developed for the case where the relaxation kernel characterizing the ...

Abstract: An analysis of nonlinear vibrations of an elastically-constrained rotating disk is developed. The equations of motion, which are two coupled nonlinear partial differential equations corresponding ...

Abstract: An analysis is conducted of the free vibration response characteristics of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) elasto-hereditary (viscoelastic) system. The viscoelasticity is characterized by a relaxation ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical study into the vibrational characteristics of guided rotating saw blades that are not perfectly flat. Experimental results are ...

Abstract: A method is described for determining the stiffness and mass modifications required in order to modify the natural frequencies of undamped discrete nongyroscopic vibrating systems in a prescribed ...
