Abstract: An analogy between two systems, each consisting of an elastic beam on elastic foundation, is given. Through this analogy, forces and displacements of one of two beams correspond to the displacements and forces, respectively, ...

Abstract: By means of a correspondence between two systems, each consisting of a space curved bar resting on an external medium, a complete reciprocal formulation of the conjugate structure method is herein presented. The method ...

Abstract: A coupled ground-water/channel flow distributed model has been developed for continuous simulation in a 123-km

Abstract: Many flexible multibody applications are characterized by high inertia forces and motion discontinuities. Because of these characteristics, problems can be encountered when large displacement finite ...

Abstract: Predicting the chemical and physical processes occurring in Lithium-ion cells with high-fidelity electrochemical models is today a critical requirement to accelerate the design and optimization of battery packs for automotive ...

Abstract: The paper presents the application of an optimization procedure to the aero-thermal design of high performance turbomachinery cascades. The blade profiles are parameterized with third-order Bezier ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel approach to the derivation of the toollife distribution, when the tool useful life ends after a progressive wear process, is presented. It is based on the diffusion theory and exploits the Fokker–Planck ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new problem in linear viscoelastic structural analysis. Homogeneous structures with rigid restraints, where stress relaxation is prevented at a time after loading, are studied. This restriction produces ...

Abstract: The paper describes the effects of forced harmonic oscillations of fixed frequency and amplitudes in the range Λ=Um/Ub=1–11 on the characteristics of a turbulent pipe flow with a bulk Reynolds ...
