Abstract: A general dynamic model for a large-scale rotor-bearing system with a cracked shaft is introduced. A finite shaft element with a crack is developed using a consistent finite element approach. ...

Abstract: Control of vibrations in lightweight road vehicle systems has placed increasingly higher demands on the technology required to accurately model and predict dynamic response of a vehicle system. ...

Abstract: The problem of predicting the dynamic behavior of a general multibody system subject to kinematic structure changes is addressed using a mixed set of Lagrangian coordinates. Changes in the ...

Abstract: A method for dynamic analysis of large-scale constrained system of mixed rigid and flexible bodies with intermittent motion is presented. The system equations of motion are written in the ...

Abstract: Sequestration of CO2 in deep sedimentary reservoirs is one of the potential methods that can be used for reducing the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. In this investigation, a geomechanical modeling study was performed for ...

Abstract: It has become evident that the modeling of the complex dynamics of fluidelastic forces that give rise to vibrations of tube bundles requires a great deal of experimental insight. Accordingly, ...

Abstract: Acoustic leak-detection techniques are proven to be effective and have been widely used in water-distribution systems for several decades. Most of the existing acoustic leak-detection techniques rely on external measurements ...

Abstract: Flow-induced vibrations due to crossflow in the shell side of heat exchangers pose a problem of major interest to researchers and practicing engineers. Tube array vibrations may lead to tube ...
