Abstract: Hydraulic servomechanisms are sometimes used to drive a load member which is predominantly inertia. The usual overriding requirements for output disturbance discrimination and high power efficiency ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simple proof of an initially counterintuitive result that the interparticle effective forces in a particulate aggregate can be meaningfully represented using an infinite number of uniaxial stress ...

Abstract: A general method for obtaining the differential equations governing motions of a class of nonholonomic systems is presented. Several supplementary theorems are stated, and the use of the method ...

Abstract: This paper contains an exact solution for the transient temperature distribution and the associated quasi-static thermal stresses and deformations which arise in a finite circular disk subjected ...

Abstract: A method for the determination of changes induced in the time derivatives of the generalized coordinates of a mechanical system by the action of impulsive forces is presented. Several supplementary ...

Abstract: Particular solutions of the equations of motion of a heavy disk attached at the center of a light, vertical, elastic shaft are used to describe a variety of forms of whirling. The stability ...
