Abstract: Prediction of the vibration properties of turbomachine blades and disks is an essential part of turbine design. However, the complexity of modern machines and the necessity to analyze the ...

Abstract: The hypothesis is put forth that fluid and electroylte regulation in mammals has oscillatory dynamics with several recognizeable frequencies. This view is supported by examples drawn from the ...

Abstract: In this paper attention is focused on the free-vibration analysis of rectangular plates with combinations of clamped and simply supported edge conditions. Plates with at least two opposite edges ...

Abstract: A weakly nonlinear, single-degree-of-freedom cubic system subject simultaneously to a time-varying force and parametric excitation is considered. The various types of resonance phenomena exhibited ...

Abstract: A discussion of the variables involved in the temperature gradient along a skirt support for a hot vessel is presented. A method is presented for reasonably approximating the maximum gradient ...

Abstract: In steady flow through nonuniform collapsible tubes a key concept is the compressive zone, at which flow limitation can occur at both high and low Reynolds numbers. Ureteral peristalsis can ...

Abstract: The well-known pictorial drafting technique of isometric drawing is here generalized in two ways, called “isoclinal” and “axial,” or collectively, “symmetric.” Although the isoclinal projection ...
