Abstract: In this paper, an exact vibration model for helical gear pairs, is developed assuming no spacing error and no shaft run-out, in consideration of nonlinear tooth separation phenomenon. Inside ...

Abstract: The nonlinear equation for the rotational vibration of a pair of spur gears has a restriction that the analytical solution of the equation cannot be obtained. In this paper, the linear equation ...

Abstract: Nonlinear dynamics of a heavy elastic suspended cable were investigated for application to a stack/wire system. Small oscillations of the cable at the support attached to the stack, the result of bending motion of the stack ...

Abstract: Chaotic vibrations associated with the fluidelastic instability of nonlinearly supported tubes in a crossflow is studied theoretically on the basis of the unsteady-flow theory and a bilinear ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of magnetically-levitated (maglev) ground transportation systems has important consequences for safety and ride quality, guideway design, and system costs. This article, which ...

Abstract: Two tubes in tandem and normal to flow were studied on the basis of the unsteady-flow theory. Motion-dependent fluid forces were measured in a water channel, and the pitch-to-diameter ratio ...

Abstract: This study presents direct evidence for the influence of the previbration cycles induced in the conventional resonant column tests on the measured dynamic properties of a dry sand. The tests were performed on an energy-injecting ...

Abstract: This paper presents an unsteady-flow theory for flow-induced vibration of tubes in cross-flow. It includes a general description of motion-dependent fluid forces, characteristics of fluid-force ...

Abstract: A mathematical model based on the unsteady-flow theory is presented for wake-induced vibration of an elastic circular cylinder in the wake of another circular cylinder. Motion-dependent fluid forces were measured for six ...

Abstract: Fluidelastic instability of loosely supported tubes, vibrating in a tube support plate (TSP)-inactive mode, is suspected to be one of the main causes of tube failure in some operating steam ...
