Abstract: Reduced-order models for micro-electromechanical structures possess several attractive features when compared with computational approaches using, e.g., finite-element packages. However, also within ...

Abstract: In this paper we present a theory of finite deformation viscoelasticity. The presentation is not restricted to small perturbations from the elastic equilibrium in contrast to many viscoelasticity ...

Abstract: To increase measurement throughput of atomic force microscopy (AFM), multiple cantilevers can be placed in close proximity to form an array for parallel throughput. In this paper, we have measured the relationship between ...

Abstract: This paper presents a generalization of the Laplace transform method (LTM) for determining the flutter points of a linear ordinarydifferential aeroelastic system—a linear system involving a spatial derivative as well as ...

Abstract: Structural insulated panel (SIP) wall systems have been used in residential and light commercial buildings for the past 60 years. Lack of sufficient published research results on racking load performance and understanding ...

Abstract: An array of cantilevers offers an alternative approach to standard single beam measurement in the context of atomic force microscopy (AFM). In comparison to a single beam, a multi-degrees-of-freedom system offers a greater ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel application of multiparameter spectral theory to the study of structural stability, with particular emphasis on aeroelastic flutter. Methods of multiparameter analysis allow the development of ...

Abstract: Abstract. This study presents a unified geometrical-theory framework for predicting the flow-characteristics of nozzle-flapper valves and annular restrictors employed in thrust-bearing applications. Building on the minor-loss ...

Abstract: This study considers the contents of the papers published by the ASCE Journal of Construction Engineering and Management which has witnessed a growth in terms of number and length of papers and breadth of participation, ...

Abstract: An improved FEM model was developed to simulate the elastic behavior of a connecting rod bearing, accounting for the displacements caused by the tightening torque applied to the bolts that ...
