Abstract: A procedure is presented for the subsystem approach of a liquid-tank-soil system subjected to horizontal and vertical earthquake excitations by the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The dynamic interaction ...

Abstract: A computer program for calculating dynamic coefficients of journal bearings is necessary in designing fluid film journal bearings and an accuracy of the program is sometimes checked by the ...

Abstract: The effect of seismic waves on the stability of a Jeffcott rotor supported by oil film bearings is investigated by calculating loci of the centers of the journal and the disk using the ...

Abstract: An innovative approach is proposed for generating discretetime models of a class of continuoustime, nonautonomous, and nonlinear systems. By continualizing a given discretetime system, sufficient conditions are presented ...

Abstract: A discretization method is proposed for a rather general class of nonlinear continuoustime systems, which can have a piecewiseconstant input, such as one under digital control via a zeroorderhold device. The resulting ...

Abstract: This paper presents a fast method for calculating the dynamic coefficients of the finite width journal bearings under quasi Reynolds boundary condition in which the trailing boundary line is ...

Abstract: A new reheat gas turbine system is being developed as a national project by the “Engineering Research Association for Advanced Gas Turbines” of Japan. The machine consists of two axial flow ...

Abstract: A member model divided into subelements along the member axis with end fibers is developed for material and geometrical nonlinear analysis of a space frame structure. The fiber stress-strain relationship is an extended ...

Abstract: Material and geometric nonlinear analysis of the tested models for a large space frame is presented based on the 1D finite-element method. The analytical results have been confirmed to agree sufficiently with the experimental ...

Abstract: (Nemat-Nasser and Hori, 1993) to a multi-inclusion model, where, again, all the average field quantities are estimated analytically. The application of the multiinclusion model includes a composite containing inclusions...
