Abstract: In a recent paper by Deshpande and Mote Jr., the stiffening effect for a thin disk due to its rotation on the eigenfrequencies of the in-plane vibrations was discussed. The paper is interesting ...

Abstract: Propagating fatigue cracks can have detrimental effects on the reliability of rotating machinery. An early crack warning can considerably extend the durability of these very expensive machines, ...

Abstract: The combined effect of a radial pressure load and a centrifugal field on the vibrations of an inextensible, circular, slender ring structure is treated. First, the stationary pre-buckling state ...
