Abstract: The SAFE Interference Diagram is shown to be useful in the design reliability evaluation of shrouded blading, including long-arc shrouding construction. This method provides an alternate method ...

Abstract: A two layer model for the blood oxygenation in pulmonary capillaries is proposed. The model consists of a core of erythrocytes surrounded by a symmetrically placed plasma layer. The governing ...

Abstract: The calculation of the combined eigenproperties of a nonclassically damped structure and a supported equipment is of practical interest. Herein an approach is developed whereby these properties ...

Abstract: A complex mode approach is presented to analyze an externally damped viscoelastic Timoshenko beam subjected to distributed loads. The eigenfunctions of the original and adjoint equations are used ...

Abstract: Models of varying complexities are being used to represent the frequency-dependent dynamic force deformation characteristics of viscoelastic dampers. More sophisticated models with real or complex fractional derivatives ...

Abstract: Viscoelastic dampers are being used in structures to mitigate dynamic effects. The models of varying complexities from simple maxwell element to differential models with fractional and complex order derivatives have been ...

Abstract: A synthesis approach is presented for calculating the complex eigen‐properties of a nonclassically damped structure from the complex eigenproperties of the constituent substructures which are also nonclassically damped. ...

Abstract: A modal synthesis method is presented to calculate the lower eigenproperties of a general dynamic system divided into subsystems. The left and right eigenproperties of the subsystems associated with their equations of ...

Abstract: The equations of motion of rotating machines subjected to seismic motions are quite complex, consisting of asymmetric general matrices with parametric and gyroscopic terms. Fortunately, the ...

Abstract: The paper describes the response spectrum methods which are being used currently in the industry for the calculation of seismic design response of piping systems supported at several points of ...
