Abstract: The adhesive contact problem of two coaxial cylindrical shells of identical layers is investigated in detail. A shear deformation theory is used to derive the governing differential equations. ...

Abstract: The Reissner and the potential energy methods have been applied to a Timoshenko beam vibrating in flexure. Frequency equations are developed using shape functions for bending moment, shearing ...

Abstract: The study deals with the breakup behavior of swirling liquid sheets discharging from gas-centered swirl coaxial atomizers with attention focused toward the understanding of the role of central ...

Abstract: A wide range of formal methods have been devised and used for idea generation in conceptual design. Experimental evidence is needed to support claims regarding the effectiveness of these methods ...

Abstract: The potential for weight savings resulting from the low density and high stiffness of aluminum-lithium (Al–Li) alloys and the difficulty in fusion welding of these alloys led to this study of ...
