Abstract: The effects of disorder on the forced response of nearly periodic structures with cyclic symmetry are investigated. The force model adopted here is relevant to blade assemblies. Perturbation ...

Abstract: An investigation of the effects of small structural irregularities on the dynamics of nearly periodic structures with cyclic symmetry is presented. The system studied may be regarded as a simple ...

Abstract: Experimental techniques for measuring unsteady flow in a glass arterial bifurcation model have been developed to aid in quantifying three-dimensional wall shear fluctuations associated with arterial ...
