Abstract: This paper presents a thermoelastic solution technique for beams with arbitrary quasi-static temperature distributions that create large transverse normal and shear stresses. This technique calculates ...

Abstract: This paper considers some of the theoretical aspects of the formulation of frequency-dependent structural matrices. Two types of mass matrices are examined, the consistent mass matrix found by ...

Abstract: The feasibility of a new flexible rotor balancing method is demonstrated. Discrete “effective” unbalance components which produce the same observed response as the actual rotor unbalance are ...

Abstract: The problem of determining the limiting (or absolute optimum) performance of mechanical systems subject to steady-state loadings is considered. By replacing portions of a system by generic forces ...

Abstract: The continuous space discrete time Riccati transfer matrix method is a new direct integration technique for transient analysis of structural members. This method is applied to rotating shafts ...

Abstract: The Riccati transfer matrix method is a new technique for analyzing structural members. This new technique makes use of an existing large catalog of transfer matrices for various structural ...

Abstract: Several methods for identifying the unbalance causing deflection of a flexible rotating shaft are developed. All methods presented permit the magnitude of the balance weights to be controlled. ...

Abstract: The Continuous Space Discrete Time Riccati Transfer Matrix Method is a new direct integration technique for transient analysis of structural members. This method is applied to rotating shafts ...

Abstract: A method is presented for computing the eigenvalues of multicase, coupled, rotating machinery trains. The method is based on a synthesis technique which utilizes generalized receptance formulas, ...

Abstract: A method is presented for efficiently calculating the damped natural frequencies of complex rotor bearings systems. The procedure is applicable to the repeated reanalysis of rotor systems during ...
