Abstract: Closed-form solutions for the stress and deformation fields near the minimum section of the neck are obtained for a mild steel rod subject to axial extension by tensile loads. The procedure ...

Abstract: The method of component mode synthesis, originally conceived for application to lightly damped structures, is extended to include linear, autonomous, holonomic dynamical systems in general. When ...

Abstract: The role of material constraint in the shear fracture of ductile metals is investigated by means of a series of torsion and internal pressure tests on aluminum alloy tubing combined with ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for developing transit bus cost models to assist in state‐level subsidy planning. Aggregate and disaggregate unit cost models for 25 bus companies operating in New Jersey are developed and ...
