Abstract: A study is made on the dynamic stability of thin-walled beams of monosymmetrical cross section. Under the action of axial periodic loads, the parametric excitation of the coupled flexural-torsional ...

Abstract: A formal justification is developed for a method in which hydrodynamic data for a transient in a rigid-wall system (derived, for example, from a small-scale experimental simulation) is used as ...

Abstract: The introduction of new materials for use in load-bearing applications in a marketplace with very high standards of reliability poses an important design problem because designers had come to ...

Abstract: Detailed physics-based computer models of fuel cells can be computationally prohibitive for applications such as optimization and uncertainty quantification. Such applications can require a very high number of runs in order ...

Abstract: In many cases, functions of semiconductor devices are limited by thermal rather than electronic considerations. A microcomputer code has been developed to analyze the steady-state thermal behavior ...

Abstract: This paper deals mainly with technical features of fracture control as a contribution to structural integrity. An attempt has been made to illustrate how scientific method can be further applied ...
