Abstract: The adhesive contact problem of two coaxial cylindrical shells of identical layers is investigated in detail. A shear deformation theory is used to derive the governing differential equations. ...

Abstract: The Reissner and the potential energy methods have been applied to a Timoshenko beam vibrating in flexure. Frequency equations are developed using shape functions for bending moment, shearing ...

Abstract: The potential for weight savings resulting from the low density and high stiffness of aluminum-lithium (Al–Li) alloys and the difficulty in fusion welding of these alloys led to this study of ...
