Abstract: The stability and vibration of two-dimensional ferroelastic plates in a uniform, static oblique magnetic field are investigated. It is shown that for either clamped or simply supported boundary ...

Abstract: The forced vibrations of a buckled beam show nonperiodic, chaotic behavior for forced deterministic excitations. Using magnetic forces to buckle the beam, two and three stable equilibrium positions ...

Abstract: The distribution of scattered energy due to the interaction of spherical elastic dilatational waves with a spherical cavity is found to differ from that due to plane waves for long wavelengths ...

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: By introducing the equivalent roughness which is defined as the distance from the wall to where the velocity gets a certain value (u/uτ ≈ 8.5) and which can be represented by a simple ...

Abstract: A 16 coil superconducting torus is used to study magnetoelastic instabilities in a set of current carrying elastic rings. The torus is a 1/75th model of a proposed magnetic fusion reactor. ...

Abstract: Experimental evidence and a theoretical model are presented for the magnetoelastic buckling of a rigid superconducting ring in a steady circumferential (toroidal)magnetic field. The theoretical ...

Abstract: A ubiquitous sensing and communications environment, recently introduced to the construction industry, requires not only the development of a Web-based system, but also the integration of this system with hardware devices. ...
