Abstract: The integration scheme is proposed in this paper to solve linear deformation and stresses for elastic bodies. The discretized equations are of the finite difference type such that all of the ...

Abstract: A numerical simulation for a filling process in an open tank is performed in this paper. A single set of governing equations is employed for the entire physical domain covering both water ...

Abstract: The vibration of a single-story frame with bilinear hysteresis supporting a rotating machine is analyzed. The excitation force caused by the rotating unbalanced mass of the machine has a frequency ...

Abstract: The effect of strain hardening in limiting the forces developed in structures subjected to earthquake motions below those of the elastic behavior is investigated by treating a single degree of ...

Abstract: With the object of gaining a better understanding of the mechanism involved in the formation of vortices in buoyancy-driven systems interacting with ambient vorticity, a mathematical approach ...

Abstract: Based on expansions for small and large times, velocity and particulate volume distributions are obtained from the approximate continuum representation of a suspension of uniformly distributed ...

Abstract: On the basis of data obtained from in-vitro friction tests using both cartilage and widely differing artificial surfaces, a general model for boundary lubrication of joint cartilage by synovial ...

Abstract: Architectural and structural considerations in the design of the 27‐story Wisma Dharmala office complex in Jakarta lead to the deployment of twincolumn clusters around the perimeter and interior of the tower block. Due to ...

Abstract: The vertical, horizontal and rocking vibrations of a body on the surface of an otherwise unloaded half plane are studied. The problems are formulated so that one stress vanishes over the ...

Abstract: The behavior of axially loaded piles in layered soil is investigated in terms of effective stresses, using a rigorous elastic load transfer theory. Following the technique of Muki and Sternberg, the problem is decomposed ...
