Abstract: This paper presents a general method of solution for the problem which concerns bending plates into cones. The plates considered are those whose thickness obeys the power-law. The large-deflection ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the plane-strain problem of an elastic layer supported on a half-space foundation and indented by a cylinder. A study is presented of the effect of the contact ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a hybrid damping design to control torsional vibration of a shaft with a circular cross section through use of actively constrained layer (ACL) damping treatments proposed ...

Abstract: An equation of the form K = C /[1 − (V/V max )]n relating the bulk modulus K to the relative volume V/V max of lung region during inflation-deflation maneuvers is proposed. It well represents ...

Abstract: The constitutive equation with stress-dependent coefficients for laminated composite is derived and employed for iterative determination of myocardial fiber’s stiffness equation Ef = Kσf + C from ...
