Abstract: This survey is devoted to the significant role of various dry friction laws in engineering sciences. Both advantages and disadvantages of a frictional process are illustrated and discussed, but ...

Abstract: Complex vibrations of closed cylindrical shells of circular cross section and finite length subjected to nonuniform sign-changeable external load in the frame of classical nonlinear theory are ...

Abstract: Regular and chaotic dynamics of the flexible Timoshenko-type beams is studied using both the standard Fourier (FFT) and the continuous wavelet transform methods. The governing equations of motion ...

Abstract: In this work, chaotic vibrations of shallow sector-type spherical shells are studied. A sector-type shallow shell is understood as a shell defined by a sector with associated boundary conditions ...

Abstract: This work is devoted to a comparison of different methods determining stop-bands in 1D and 2D periodic heterogeneous media. For a 1D case, the well-known dispersion equation is studied via ...
