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: A means of increasing the useful range of pressure sensing diaphragms is developed. This is done by considering certain variable thickness plates as potential diaphragms and attempting to maximize ...

Abstract: A methodology for predicting the effects of wear on the rotation of a keyed connection subjected to reversing loads is presented. The approach couples an empirical relationship for wear with ...
