Differential Quadrature Method in Computational Mechanics: A Review
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)The differential quadrature method is a numerical solution technique for initial and/or boundary problems. It was developed by the late Richard Bellman and his associates in the early 70s and, ... -
Simulation of Multi-Dimensional Gaussian Stochastic Fields by Spectral Representation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)The subject of this paper is the simulation of multi-dimensional, homogeneous, Gaussian stochastic fields using the spectral representation method. Following this methodology, sample functions of ... -
Nonlinear Mode Localization in Systems Governed by Partial Differential Equations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)The concept of nonlinear normal mode (NNM) is used to study localized oscillations in certain classes of oscillators governed by nonlinear partial differential equations. NNMs are synchronous ... -
Special Issue on Localization and the Effects of Irregularities in Structures
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996) -
Wave Localization in Multi-Coupled Periodic Structures: Application to Truss Beams
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)A tutorial and a review of recent developments in the area of localization in linear structural dynamics problems are presented. Particular emphasis is placed on multi-coupled nearly periodic ... -
Localization, Scaling, and Diffuse Transport of Wave Energy in Disordered Media
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)The Anderson localization literature in structural acoustics has to date been concerned largely with applications to the vibrations of one dimensional structures, whether mono-coupled or multi-coupled, ... -
Fluid Loaded Structures With One Dimensional Disorder
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)This paper reviews the problem of the vibration of fluid loaded structures with one dimensional disorder. There are two aspects which are important in understanding the behavior of such systems: ... -
Computational Models for Sandwich Panels and Shells
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)The focus of this review is on the hierarchy of computational models for sandwich plates and shells, predictor-corrector procedures, and the sensitivity of the sandwich response to variations ... -
Dynamics of Disordered Periodic Structures
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)For functional or aesthetic reasons, many a structural system is designed to be spatially periodic; namely, it is composed of identical sub-units which are connected to form a spatially periodic ... -
Addendum: “Layout Optimization of Structures” [Applied Mechanics Reviews, 1995, 48(2), pp. 41–119]
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996) -

Contact Mechanics of Rough Surfaces in Tribology: Single Asperity Contact
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)Contact modeling of two rough surfaces under normal approach and with relative motion is carried out to predict the real area of contact which affects friction and wear of an interface. The ... -
Buckling of Thin Shells: Recent Advances and Trends
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)This paper provides a review of recent research advances and trends in the area of thin shell buckling. Only the more important and interesting aspects of recent research, judged from a ... -
Highlights in the Historical Development of the Porous Media Theory: Toward a Consistent Macroscopic Theory
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)First contributions to the theory of porous media were made by R Woltman in 1794 when he independently developed a more sophisticated earth pressure theory than C Coulomb, and surprisingly in ... -
Turbulence in the Ocean, Atmosphere, Galaxy, and Universe
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)Flows in natural bodies of fluid often become turbulent, with eddy-like motions dominated by inertial-vortex forces. Buoyancy, Coriolis, viscous, self-gravitational, electromagnetic, and other force ... -

Recent Developments in Modeling of Liquid Phase Electroepitaxy: A Continuum Approach
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)Liquid phase electroepitaxy (LPEE) is a low temperature, solution growth technique which has been proven to be successful in growing high quality, thick compound and alloy semiconducting single ... -
Transformation-Induced Plasticity (TRIP)
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)This review article attempts to explain TRIP generally and its appearance in different materials. Continuum mechanics formulations are mainly used to explain this phase change phenomenon. An ...
