Abstract: An analysis is presented for the determination of the range of “safe” temperature increases in a railroad track, in order to prevent vertical buckling. A general nonlinear formulation of the ...

Abstract: An approximate but accurate expression for determining the reference in-plane flexural frequencies of rotating rings is presented. The ring reference frequencies are with respect to a coordinate ...

Abstract: The use of hollow airfoils in turbomachinery applications, in particular fans and turbines, is an essential element in reducing the overall engine weight. However, state-of-the-art airfoil geometries ...

Abstract: The aerodynamics of a cascade of airfoils oscillating in torsion about the midchord is investigated experimentally at a large mean incidence angle and, for reference, at a low mean incidence ...
