Abstract: In this note we show that for a pinned half-sine arch under end couples snap-through buckling will occur unsymmetrically if the initial height of the shallow arch is greater than 6.5466r, ...

Abstract: In this paper we study the dynamic behavior of a shallow arch under a point load Q traveling at a constant speed. Emphasis is placed on finding whether snap-through buckling will occur. In ...

Abstract: The emphasis of this note is placed on finding out whether dynamic snap-through will occur when a shallow arch resting on an elastic foundation with elastic constant β is stretched or compressed with constant speed. It is ...

Abstract: This technical note presents an approximate solution for the fluid film forces and design coefficents for statically loaded cylindrical journal bearings. The solution is an improved correction ...

Abstract: A novel analysis for the dynamic force response of a squeeze film damper with a central feeding groove considers the dynamic flow interaction between the squeeze film lands and the feeding ...

Abstract: Hydrostatic journal bearings handling low viscosity cryogenic liquids operate under extreme conditions of external pressurization. The regime of operation of these bearings is fully turbulent with ...

Abstract: An approximate analysis for the pressure field and dynamic force coefficients in turbulent flow, centered hydrostatic journal bearings (HJBs) with fluid inertia and liquid compressibility effects ...
