Abstract: A necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic stability of damped, linear, symmetric, multidegree of freedon systems is given. The condition is easily applied if the principal coordinates ...

Abstract: This paper presents a finite-element analysis for the cylindrical rods oscillating periodically in an incompressible viscous fluid. A system of discretized equation is obtained from the appropriate ...

Abstract: A finite element model is formulated and computations performed for the hydrodynamic reactions of harmonically oscillating hexagonal cylinders in an incompressible, viscous fluid. Regular hexagonal ...
