Abstract: Mindlin’s linear shear-deformation theory of moderately thick elastic isotropic plates is applied to axially symmetric deformations of uniform circular plates with static loads. The flexural ...

Abstract: Axisymmetric finite element modeling of bolted joints was performed to show the effects of the magnitude and position of the external load, member thickness, and member material on the bolt ...

Abstract: Axisymmetric finite element modeling of bolted joints was performed to show the effects of the magnitude as well as the radial location of the externally applied load on the member separation ...

Abstract: Forged and machined straight bevel gears have been tested in order to compare the surface durability or pitting fatigue characteristics. The gears were prepared with identical geometric properties ...

Abstract: Member stiffnesses and the stress distributions in the bolts and members of bolted joints have been calculated for various bolt sizes, as well as thicknesses and materials of the members. The ...

Abstract: Stress concentration factors have been determined for large hole to small hole diameter ratios (D/d) of 10 to 50 for two holes in an infinitely wide tension-loaded panel. Finite element analysis ...

Abstract: Forged and machined bevel gears have been tested to compare surface durability for the two manufacturing processes. The tests and results which showed the machined gears to have 30.6 percent ...
