Abstract: Analysis of systems and components for seismic loads has been under continuous development during the last decade. Unlike the early stages of development where the emphasis was on conservatism, ...

Abstract: In a nonlinear time history analysis of piping systems, the system response is generally highly coupled for all dynamic degrees-of-freedom. Therefore, the seismic time history input components, ...

Abstract: A general mathematical formulation to analyze cracks in a multilayered medium is constructed. First, a matrix for a single layer is formed in the Hankel transformed domain. Then a global matrix ...

Abstract: A forward displacement analysis in closed-form is performed for each case of a class of Stewart Platform mechanisms. This class of mechanisms, which are classified into three cases, are called ...

Abstract: Border crossings in northern New York are important to international trade and tourism. How traffic operations at these crossings can be made more efficient has been a concern to the New York State Department of Transportation ...

Abstract: Stress intensity factors are computed for a horizontal subsurface crack that is subjected to time harmonic excitation. The problem is analyzed by determining displacement potentials that satisfy ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the response of a transversely isotropic half space subjected to various distributions of normal and tangential contact stresses on its surface. Both the interior displacement ...

Abstract: Stress intensity factors are computed for an inclined subsurface crack in a half space, whose surface is subjected to uniform time-harmonic excitation. The problem is analyzed by determining ...

Abstract: The penetration through a two-phase boundary by a biplanar (kinked) crack of arbitrary shape is considered in this paper. The two-phase boundary is modeled as the interface between two ...
