Abstract: The elastodynamic Green’s functions for time-harmonic radial and axial ring sources in a homogeneous, isotropic, linear elastic full-space medium are derived using the Fourier-Hankel transform. The ...

Abstract: In the variationally coupled finite element‐boundary element method, the terms involving tractions on the interface are eliminated. A single variational principle is obtained for both the finite element and boundary element ...

Abstract: Numerical results of plane-strain strip drawing are presented emphasizing the interfacial friction conditions between workmaterial and drawing die. The results are based on a large-strain elasto-plastic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for the simultaneous product and process design of components manufactured in small and medium lot-sizes. A key aspect of this methodology is to ensure that ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new model building methodology which, given a detailed mechanistic model of a task, can optimally produce a set of models with layered abstraction according to the user’s ...

Abstract: The effects of inclination of stiffeners on the instability of pressurized cylinder under pure bending is studied. The stiffeners are mounted at various angles from 0–90 deg with the longitudinal ...

Abstract: A model for integrating multiple sources of knowledge within engineering expert systems is presented. It allows possible conflicts between multiple knowledge sources to be logically resolved at ...

Abstract: Fault detection in complex mechanical systems such as wind turbine gearboxes remains challenging, even with the recently significant advancement of sensing and signal processing technologies. As ...

Abstract: The development of large-scale mechanical systems involves interactive negotiations among nontechnical and technical design stakeholders. Usually, two types of negotiations exist: (i) those between ...
