Abstract: The steady motions of nonlinearly elastic and inextensible strings which are being drawn between two fixed points and are subject to a gravitational load are examined. It is shown that, dependent ...

Abstract: In this paper, expressions are established for certain relative rotations which arise in motions of rigid bodies. A comparison of these results with existing relations for geometric phases in ...

Abstract: An investigation of the fundamental aspects of flutter in mistuned turbomachinery rotors is presented. Perturbation methods are used to obtain asymptotic solutions to arbitrary order in the ...

Abstract: carrier, i.e., the metal oxide MeO. The metal oxide is reduced to a metal oxide with a lower oxidation number, Me, in the reaction with the fuel. In this manner, pure oxygen is supplied to the reaction with the fuel...

Abstract: A nonlinear exact theory to investigate a steady two-dimensional supercavitating flow past a cascade of arbitrarily shaped blades is presented. The solutions obtained by numerically solving a ...

Abstract: The Method of Inequalities is used to design controllers for the regulation of net thrust level, total airflow and inlet temperature of an F100 turbofan engine. Two models of the plant are ...

Abstract: An analysis of short endurance fatigue of thin walled shells with internal pressure and supported at the outside diameter while subjected to an imposed axial motion, has been investigated in ...
