Abstract: Several methods for identifying the unbalance causing deflection of a flexible rotating shaft are developed. All methods presented permit the magnitude of the balance weights to be controlled. ...

Abstract: A nonlinear active vibration damper has been developed which uses a spatially distributed piezoelectric actuator, polyvinylidene flouride, to achieve active vibration control of a cantilever beam. ...

Abstract: This is the second part of a two-part paper presenting a new methodology for analytically simulating multi-axis machining of complex sculptured surfaces. The first section of this paper offers ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new methodology for analytically simulating multi-axis machining of complex sculptured surfaces. A generalized approach is developed for representing an arbitrary cutting edge ...

Abstract: Hydrologic fluxes in mountainous watersheds are particularly important as these areas often provide a significant source of freshwater for more arid surrounding lowlands. The state of Colorado in the United States comprises ...

Abstract: In hydrologic modeling, the value of the model parameters is often influenced by the rainfall patterns of the calibration period. However, modeling studies typically only use a single calibration period, with parameters ...
