Abstract: This investigation is an attempt to propose a method to determine the chatter threshold precisely so that a flexible manufacturing system can be materialized or a dynamic performance test ...

Abstract: The paper addresses the problem of contact of an elliptical inclusion in the form of a thin disk, bonded in the interior of a transversely isotropic space. The inclusion is assumed to be ...

Abstract: This is a sequel to the first part of the two-part paper, which addresses the problem of contact of a rigid elliptical disk-inclusion bonded in the interior of a transversely isotropic space ...

Abstract: We consider the problem of determining the elastic field in an infinite elastic solid induced by an ellipsoidal inclusion with a distribution of eigenstrains. The particular type of distribution ...

Abstract: This paper presents a polynomial dimensional decomposition method for calculating the probability distributions of random crack-driving forces commonly encountered in elastic-plastic fracture analysis ...

Abstract: This technical note presents explicit formulas for calculating the response moments of stochastic systems by polynomial dimensional decomposition entailing independent random input with arbitrary probability measures. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents an extended polynomial dimensional decomposition method for solving stochastic problems subject to independent random input following an arbitrary probability distribution. The method involves ...
