Abstract: We present the analytical and experimental study of a mechanical pulse filter. The filter is an unbounded assembly composed of a straight bar joined tangentially to a helix. The Fourier time ...

Abstract: The paper simulates a spindle-bearing system with a finite-element model; then compares it to the experimental results. Radial and tilting springs and dashpots are considered in angular contact ...

Abstract: Normal plate impact recovery experiments have been perfomed on thin plates of ceramics, with and without a back momentum trap, in a one-stage gas gun. The free-surface velocity of the momentum ...
