Abstract: In elastic systems, impulsive forces that act at a point on a deformable body produce stress waves that travel with finite speeds. This paper examines, both theoretically and numerically, the ...

Abstract: This article presents an analytical method to draw influence lines and diagrams of variations for deflection, rotation, bending moment, and shearing force for a generally restrained Euler-Bernoulli beam. To do so, Green’s ...

Abstract: The available information on incipient sediment motion criteria for both unidirectional and oscillating flow motions is summarized and analyzed according to the Shields diagram for incipient motion. The Shields diagram is ...

Abstract: Base isolation (BI) has proven to be an effective method to decrease the seismic vibration and mitigating seismic risks; however, construction cost of the BI buildings is expected to be increased compared with the conventional ...

Abstract: This article presents an analytical method to draw influence lines and diagrams of variations for deflection, rotation, bending moment, and shearing force for a generally restrained Euler-Bernoulli beam. To do so, Green’s ...

Abstract: The micromix combustion concept offers an elegant compromise between premixed and nonpremixed combustion. By mixing the fuel and air at the smallest scale possible, one can achieve NOx emissions comparable to premixed ...

Abstract: In the multibody formulation of the contact problem, the kinematic contact constraint conditions are formulated in terms of the normal and tangents to the contact surfaces. Using the assumption ...
