Abstract: A unique structural problem and solution is presented on the analysis and design of a continuous structural concrete slab track on grade. Rails embedded into the structural concrete with an elastomeric grout system act as ...

Abstract: This work investigates how uncertainties in the balancing weights are propagating into the vibration response of a high-speed rotor. Balancing data are obtained from a 166-MW gas turbine rotor in a vacuum balancing tunnel. ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the experimental analysis of different stator configurations of an electric motor typically used within the automotive sector. The ongoing electrification of the automotive sector, combined with a ...

Abstract: To reduce the computational effort using polynomial chaos expansion to predict the dynamic characteristics of structures with several uncertain parameters, hybrid techniques combining stochastic finite element analysis ...

Abstract: The objective of a weld coupon is to provide a simple test to determine the effects of different welding parameters and constraints on the final state of fusion welds. With such a test it ...

Abstract: Modeling and numerical simulation of foam sandwich panels subjected to impulsive loading are presented. The sandwich panels consist of steel sheets at front and back with two varieties of foam cores in between. Stiffeners ...

Abstract: With the increase in explosive occurrences and the development of new weapons, protective structures have received worldwide attention. The energy-absorbing core material is the most crucial part of these protective ...
