Abstract: A method is described for the analysis of circular flat plates in which properties may be variable, the elasticity may be orthotopic, membrane forces may be significant, and variable temperatures ...

Abstract: A simple analytical approach is used to describe the nonlinear behavior of an initially curved, transversely loaded beam with fixed ends; the end supports are assumed to be rigid (constrained ...

Abstract: Properly designed and developed swivels represent a reliable and practical means for providing required flowline flexibility in multiline marine production risers. The lack of suitable commercially ...

Abstract: Refueling system components for LMFBR’s require a high degree of accuracy because of the need to function remotely without visual access. Also, they must have proven reliability to assure minimum ...

Abstract: In this paper a unified theory is presented for system identification in structural dynamics using recursive frequency-domain filters. Output error, equation error, and instrumental variable (I. ...
