Abstract: A first known investigation on the three-dimensional vibration characteristics of conical shell panels is reported. A linear frequency equation is derived based on an exact three-dimensional, ...

Abstract: Exact solutions are obtained for a model of the longitudinal displacement along an elastic tapered bar due to a force applied at its blunt end. A formula for velocity amplification is given; ...

Abstract: We propose a mathematical model for pendelluft flow in a single airway bifurcation. The model is motivated by an apparatus used in an experimental study of the pendelluft by Ultman et al. ...

Abstract: We study the symmetries admitted by the amplitude equations governing the nonlinear nonplanar parametric responses of an inextensional beam (Nayfeh and Pai, 1989). As a result of these symmetries, ...

Abstract: The inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP) in a one-dimensional composite slab with rate-dependent pyrolysis chemical reaction and outgassing flow effects is investigated using the iterative ...

Abstract: A new numerical model is developed to simulate the 3D inverse heat transfer in a composite target with pyrolysis and outgassing effects. The gas flow channel size and gas addition velocity ...

Abstract: A model has been developed for describing the stresses that arise during binder burnout in three-dimensional porous bodies. The pressure gradient that arises from the decomposition of binder in ...
