Abstract: An iterative numerical solution is given for the case of a thin elastic rod whose inputs are simultaneously the positions of the two ends and an applied moment at one end. The development ...

Abstract: A dynamical model is derived for a spring-diaphragm type automotive pressure regulator containing an annular membrane. Previous studies have generally assumed that the diaphragm was of constant ...

Abstract: The natural lateral dynamic behavior of a skateboard is described in the absence of rider control. The effects of vehicle and rider parameters are investigated and stability criteria are derived ...

Abstract: A bond graph model of wave convection of rolling bodies is developed. The governing non-linear state space equations are derived directly from the bond graph and solved numerically for various ...

Abstract: A model is developed for simulating and predicting the dynamics of intake-manifolds for automotive internal combustion engines. A thermodynamic control volume approach and bond graphs are used ...

Abstract: A previous study of a golf ball rolling on the rim of a cup neglected the spin of the ball about a line perpendicular to the plane of contact. The capture process is studied here by ...

Abstract: An investigation was made of fatigue crack growth in notched samples of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy which were subjected to cyclic compressive loading. Photoelastic techniques were employed to determine ...
