Abstract: A technique is presented for the systematic calculation of “damping” and “stiffness” matrices to represent the linearly viscoelastic properties of structures. The technique generates explicit ...

Abstract: The problem of calculating the vibrations of rotating structures has challenged analysts since it was observed that the use of traditional modal approaches may incorrectly lead to the prediction ...

Abstract: The problem of calculating the vibrations of rotating structures has challenged analysts since the observation that use of traditional modal coordinates in such problems leads to the prediction ...

Abstract: The method of recursive quadratic programming, coupled with a homotopy method, has been used to generate approximate minimum-time and minimum tracking-error tip trajectories for two-link flexible ...
