Abstract: In this paper, we look for rotating beams whose eigenpair (frequency and mode-shape) is the same as that of uniform nonrotating beams for a particular mode. It is found that, for any given ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results from an experimental program and an analytical assessment of the influence of addition of fibers on mechanical properties of concrete. Models derived based on the regression analysis of 60 ...

Abstract: Abstract Tsunami waves propagating overland and in coastal rivers damage structures such as buildings or bridge piers due to impact forces and scouring phenomena. Prior studies evaluating the scour depth around the structures ...

Abstract: Magnetorheological dampers are intrinsically nonlinear devices, which make the modeling and design of a suitable control algorithm an interesting and challenging task. To evaluate the potential ...

Abstract: This study presents the results of an experimental and analytical comparison of the flexural behavior of a high-strength concrete specimen (no conventional reinforcement) with an average plain concrete cube strength of ...

Abstract: In this paper, a quasisteady method is developed for predicting the coupled bendingtorsion flutter in a compressor cascade during classic surge. The classic surge is one of the major compressor flow field instabilities ...

Abstract: The bouncing ball on a sinusoidally vibrating plate exhibits a rich variety of nonlinear dynamical behavior and is one of the simplest mechanical systems to produce chaotic behavior. A computer ...

Abstract: A steady state thermal conductivity measuring setup based on the comparative radial heat flow method is presented. The setup consists of a pair of coaxial cylinders as its main components, ...

Abstract: An analytical parameter study is conducted for a class of elastomeric bearings often used in base isolation systems and as bridge support bearings. The study is carried out using a recently developed nonlinear finite element ...
