Abstract: A permeable crack model is proposed to analyze crack growth in a piezoelectric ceramic. In this model, a permeable crack is modeled as a vanishing thin, finite dimension, rectangular slit with ...

Abstract: In this study, a transient, non-Newtonian, mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) model of involute spur gear tooth contacts is proposed. Unlike the contact between two cylindrical rollers, ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with buckling analysis of a nonuniform column with classical∕nonclassical boundary conditions and subjected to a concentrated axial force and distributed variable axial ...

Abstract: In this paper multi-story frame buildings are treated as shear plates with variably distributed mass and stiffness for free vibration analysis. An analytical model of a shear plate is proposed ...

Abstract: A new exact approach for analyzing free vibration of single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems with nonperiodically time varying parameters is presented in this paper. The function for describing ...

Abstract: In modern automotive control modules, mechanical failures of surface mounted electronic components such as microprocessors, crystals, capacitors, transformers, inductors, and ball grid array packages, ...

Abstract: The response of an elastic foundation, such as settlement, can generally be obtained by integrating the product of the influence factor and the distributed load over the entire foundation. The exact evaluation of this ...
