Abstract: This paper is concerned with the virtual mass effect on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of rectangular plates due to the presence of the water on one side of the plate. The approximate ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the virtual mass effect on vibrating circular plates due to the presence of water. Natural frequencies in water can be estimated from natural frequencies in air ...

Abstract: A general three-dimensional frictional contact problem has been formulated in the form of a complementarity problem in an incremental analysis setting. The derivation is straight forward and very ...

Abstract: Concession agreement is one of the infrastructure privatization models. In Asia, the rise of concession projects began in the 1980s, and the number of such projects continues to grow. This research provides an overview and ...

Abstract: In a market with rapid changes in technology and customer preferences, technological obsolescence of endoflife products poses a significant challenge to product recovery. Remanufacturing with optimal part upgrades can be ...

Abstract: In order for remanufacturers to succeed in the market, it is important for them to be capable of ensuring in advance that a product is suitable for remanufacturing and that a remanufactured product will provide greater ...

Abstract: Abstract. The superheat limit of a liquid can be predicted using the equation of state, classical nucleation theory, or bubble formation model based on molecular interactions. The spinodal point calculated by the Redlich-Kwong ...
