Abstract: The stresses and displacements in an elastic strip arising from displacements prescribed over one end are determined in terms of the eigenfunctions of the strip, with the coefficients being ...

Abstract: Dynamic Path Synthesis refers to a class of linkage synthesis problems in which constraint paths between specified positions are determined in such a way as to optimize some measure of the ...

Abstract: Research on sliding friction and wear of metals has involved studies of subsurface microstructural deformation. This paper considers the difficulties of measuring deformation and analyzing the ...

Abstract: This paper proposes the use of a Grid Convergence Index (GCI) for the uniform reporting of grid refinement studies in Computational Fluid Dynamics. The method provides an objective asymptotic ...

Abstract: A porous granular rock is modeled by an aggregate of identical, randomly stacked, spherical particles. Contacting particles are initially bonded together across small areas. A theory is developed ...

Abstract: Tube vibration and wear potential in the U-bend region of pressurized water reactor (PWR) steam generators is reduced by enhanced design bases and fabrication procedures. Applicable vibration ...

Abstract: The problem of minimizing a quadratic functional of the system outputs and control for a stationary linear system with state-dependent noise is solved in this paper. Both the finite final time ...

Abstract: Weak shock theory is used to analyze the propagation of the stress waves which are induced by nonuniform, instantaneous, internal heating of a nonlinearly elastic, semi-infinite solid. The ...
