Abstract: This paper presents a method for identification of certain polynomial nonlinear dynamic systems by adaptive vibrational excitation. The identification is based on the concept of selective sensitivity ...

Abstract: The buckling of shells subject to radial impulse loading has been studied by many investigators, and it is well known that the severity of the buckling response is greatly amplified by initial ...

Abstract: An experimental and analytical study of the deflection and impingement of turbulent jets in a confined crossflow, a geometry which occurs in gas turbine blade impingement cooling schemes, is ...
