Abstract: The problem of bending and vibration of plates of variable thickness and arbitrary shapes and with mixed boundary conditions was solved by a modified energy method of the Rayleigh-Ritz type. ...

Abstract: Experimental measurements of load in a simulated plane slider bearing have been performed. The flow is laminar but modified Reynolds numbers up to 30 are obtained. In comparison with actual ...

Abstract: Simplified nonlinear governing differential equations proposed by Berger and extended by Nash and Modeer are applied to obtain natural frequencies of a circular plate with concentric rigid part ...

Abstract: The fluid-elastic instability of tube arrays in heat exchangers may become chaotic, especially when clearances exist between tubes and supports. When chaotic motion appears in tube arrays, ...

Abstract: The problem vibration of rectangular orthotropic plates with variable thickness and mixed boundary conditions are solved by a modified energy method. A general expression is written for the ...

Abstract: An original hybrid bearing model, operating under constant volumetric incompressible lubricant supply rate Q*, is proposed for 2-D parallel hybrid guide bearings subject to simultaneous translation ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development of the source-doublet-based potential paneling method for oscillating cascade unsteady aerodynamic load predictions. By using the integral influence coefficient ...

Abstract: Adhesive fracture of an interdigitated or very rough interface is investigated by considering an interface crack with no-slip zones. Both the normal and the shear stresses are singular at the ...

Abstract: This Technical Brief presents a new method for vibration analysis of a non-classically damped system. The basic idea is to introduce a transformation, which bears clear physical meaning, so ...
