Abstract: An initial value method is introduced in this paper for the solution of a class of nonlinear two-point boundary value problems. The method can be applied to the class of equations where ...

Abstract: This paper provides the designer with an electrical method for failure prediction in ductile machine elements operating at elevated temperatures from room through the creep range. The law of ...

Abstract: This paper is an extension of a recently published work [1] by the authors in that the mathematical formulations and accompanying solutions in the initial work are now further investigated and ...

Abstract: Utilizing a thermodynamic approach, this paper provides the designer with formulations and data so that he can obtain or verify, and then employ, the yield strength (or yield point) value he ...

Abstract: This paper provides the designer with formulations and data so that he can more confidently design a ductile machine element, operating at elevated temperatures, by employing obtainable strength ...

Abstract: Employing perturbation techniques, the problem of a thin strut experiencing large deflections which is treated in two previous papers by the authors, [1] and [2], is further examined for the ...
