Abstract: A class of plane stress problems for incompressible materials is studied. The class concerns problems for unidirectionally reinforced thin sheets under quasi-static loading conditions.

Abstract: Due to the growing need for gearboxes to be as lightweight and efficient as possible, it is most important that the gear mesh’s potential is utilized as well as possible. One way of doing that is to define a flank modification ...

Abstract: Geared turbofans need to withstand loss of lubrication due to inevitable off-design conditions. Additionally, the loss of lubrication specifications that have to be fulfilled are getting stricter. For a loss of lubrication ...

Abstract: A systems approach is presented for fatigue reliability analysis of offshore platforms. The probability of fatigue crack occurrence in individual structural joints is considered. A nomograph relating deterministic fatigue ...

Abstract: The vibration and stability of plates with mixed edge conditions are considered in this paper. A simply supported rectangular plate which is clamped along the central portion on two opposite ...

Abstract: A wall-slip model including limiting shear stress and the occurrence of slip at the interfaces between the lubricant and the adjacent surfaces is presented. The lubricant model is applied to ...

Abstract: A method is developed for calculating the probability of progressive collapse due to fatigue for structural systems in which members are connected in parallel and for parallel member systems connected in series. Formulation ...

Abstract: A method is presented of expressing Net Positive Suction Head for centrifugal pumps in terms of the impeller design elements as they appear in the inlet velocity triangle. The procedure is ...
