Abstract: A powerful new method for residual stress measurement is presented. A part is cut in two, and the contour, or profile, of the resulting new surface is measured to determine the displacements ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of an Euler-Bernoulli beam under moving loads is studied by mode superposition. The inertial effects of the moving load are included in the analysis. The time-dependent ...

Abstract: Based on a dynamic fracture mechanics analysis, the stress field in a continuous film (called a web) during slitting (or cutting) is investigated. For a homogeneous, isotropic and linearly ...

Abstract: A method is derived to detect and localize linear damage in a structure using the measured modal vibration parameters. This method is applicable when the vibration strain energy is stored in ...
