Abstract: The linearized equations of motion of the gyroscopic vibration absorber are derived showing that the antiresonant frequency is a linear function of the speed of the gyroscopic disk; thus the ...

Abstract: It is clear from a survey of literature on the dynamic deformation of rigid-plastic plates that most work has been focused on plates in which either membrane forces or bending moments alone ...

Abstract: A relatively simple analytical treatment of the behavior of a rigid-plastic annular plate subjected to an initial linear impulsive velocity profile is presented. The influence of finite deflections ...

Abstract: I appreciate the comments made about the paper and the additional references. It is true that Eq. (4), taken from Johnson’s book, is Mindlin’s solution from his 1949 paper, and due credit ...

Abstract: Researchers and manufacturers are collaborating to develop a robot that will be able not only to inspect pipelines but also to make repairs.

Abstract: Researchers are developing a faster but reliable way to build the core walls of tall buildings.

Abstract: The analysis developed in this article is a logical extension, or generalization, of Von Karman’s original theory [1] on curved pipe bends. It can be shown, for long-radius pipe bends which ...

Abstract: It is shown herein how simple rigid-plastic methods may be used to predict the large inelastic deformations of fully clamped beams loaded impulsively, and to estimate the threshold velocities ...

Abstract: The creep buckling behavior of a complete spherical shell which is subjected to a uniform external pressure is investigated using a perturbation method of analysis. The spherical shell has an ...

Abstract: Theoretical solutions are developed herein for the dynamic plastic structural response of some ideal fibre-reinforced (strongly anisotropic) beams with boundary conditions and external dynamic ...
