Abstract: This work investigates the stability of axially moving media subjected to parametric excitation resulting from tension and translation speed oscillations. Each of these excitation sources has ...

Abstract: A river salinity model has been developed on the 21 major canal areas in the lower Arkansas River Basin in Colorado to address the impact of irrigation return flow on the river. The quantity of the return flow is predicted ...

Abstract: This investigation presents an analytical and computer-aided study on the dynamics of meshing gears with backlash. Based on the rotary gear impact model of Yang and Sun, a modified model with ...

Abstract: In this paper, a coupled model of the thermo-elastic-plastic material under large deformation for orthogonal cutting is constructed. A chip separation criterion based on the critical value of ...

Abstract: The thermo-viscoleastic behavior of composite materials is studied analytically using a special finite-element formulation. Numerical results on stress and deformation histories are obtained for ...

Abstract: Formerly the optimization of the passive vibration isolator is mainly founded on the nonlinear programming algorithms. The methods are iterative in nature and time-consuming. In this paper a ...

Abstract: Yee and Tsuei (1989) developed the Modal Force Technique (MFT) as a tool for component synthesis. The approach utilizes the frequency response functions at connecting joints to predict the ...

Abstract: The dynamic equations for general helical springs are solved and classified according to the number of energy terms used to formulate them. Solutions of several sets of dynamic equations, each ...

Abstract: On the basis of the authors’ rule of sliding to transform elastic solution to plastic in a previous paper, a new method of calculating fatigue is developed by using ordinary relaxation methods ...
