Abstract: Free vibrations of an initially straight elastic bar having free-free or clamped-free ends are analyzed by assuming that the bar is undergoing inextensional motion and that shearing effects and ...

Abstract: Thermally activated mechanisms of dislocation motion and interaction account for the dependence of stress on strain, temperature, and time during plastic deformation. Much of the recent activity ...

Abstract: Diesel engines are critical in fulfilling transportation and mechanical/electrical power generation needs throughout the world. The engine’s combustion by-products spawn health and environmental ...

Abstract: The cost effective design of antilock brake systems for automobiles requires the use of computer aided design and analysis techniques, as well as traditional invehicle testing. An important ...

Abstract: Multiple-degree-of-freedom linear asymmetric nonviscously damped systems are considered. It is assumed that the nonviscous damping forces depend on the past history of velocities via convolution ...

Abstract: The dynamic study of thermal processes is often restricted by the limitations of the temperature transducers. The thermocouple is one of the most employed transducers because of its small size, ...

Abstract: The forced vibration response of subsystems with different natural frequencies and damping, attached to a foundation with finite stiffness or mass, is calculated. Analytical models include simulations ...
