Abstract: Explicit bounds are established on the transverse motion of elastic columns with various end conditions loaded with a transient, variable, compressive force. The study is based on Movchan’s ...

Abstract: In this study the classical theory of the bending and twisting of thin rods is utilized and applied to the case of a rotating shaft subjected to axial loading and tangential torsion. The ...

Abstract: The mathematical modeling of glued‐laminated (glulam) timber beams is greatly simplified by considering the material to be isotropic in the plane of the cross section. In this paper, the hypothesis of transverse isotropy ...
