    • Thermoelasticity with Second Sound: A Review 

      D. S. Chandrasekharaiah (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      Thermoelasticity theories predicting a finite speed for the propagation of thermal signals have come into existence during the past 20 years. In contrast to the conventional thermoelasticity ...

    • Boundary Layer Interactions With Compliant Coatings: An Overview 

      Mohamed Gad-el-Hak (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      During the past five years, several research programs have been conducted to reexamine the subject of boundary layer interactions with compliant coatings. One of the objectives of the research ...

    • Excellence and Relevance - A Funding Agency Perspective 

      Michael J. Salkind (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)

    • Inverse Problems in Vibration 

      Graham M. L. Gladwell (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      This article concerns infinitesimal free vibrations of undamped elastic systems of finite extent. A review is made of the literature relating to the unique reconstruction of a vibrating system ...

    • On Experimental Studies of Longitudinal and Flexural Wave Propagations: An Annotated Bibliography 

      M. M. Al-Mousawi (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      Experimental investigations in the field of longitudinal wave propagation in beams are plentiful; however, experimental studies of flexural wave propagation problems are scarce and are restricted ...

    • Mechanics of Distributed Cracking 

      Zdeněk P. Bažant (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      This paper reviews some interesting recent results on mesh sensitivity and strain localization instability, nonlocal and micromechanics models, and the size effect in failure due to distributed cracking.

    • CAD in the CIM Environment: Where Do We Go From Here? 

      Dell K. Allen; W. Van Twelves (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      The importance of computer-aided design (CAD) has not been fully appreciated as it relates to computer integrated manufacturing (CIM). The CAD product definition model can provide essential ...

    • Dynamic Simulation of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) 

      Paul G. Ranky (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      The simulation method to be used in FMS should be multilevel and dynamic and should incorporate solid modeling techniques. This means that operation control simulation in FMS should rely on ...

    • Design for Manufacture: An Overview 

      Henry W. Stoll (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      Design for manufacture (DFM) is concerned with defining product design alternatives which facilitate optimization of the manufacturing system as a whole. Recognized as being essential to productivity ...

    • Hidden (A)Symmetries of Elastic and Plastic Bifurcation 

      G. W. Hunt (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      Buckling at a distinct bifurcation point is more often than not symmetric, in the sense that equal and opposite amplitudes of the single buckling mode give identical physical shapes and hence ...

    • Commentary on Flexible Fixturing 

      B. S. Thompson; M. V. Gandhi (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      One of the significant impediments to the evolution of truly flexible computer-integrated manufacturing systems is the absence of truly adaptable flexible fixturing systems. This article reports ...

    • Advanced Material Handling 

      Jane C. Ammons; Leon F. McGinnis (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      With the advent of automation in manufacturing and warehousing, material handling is being seen as a focal point of total system integration and control. In contrast to mechanical design problems, ...

    • Control of Machine Tools and Robots 

      Yoram Koren (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
      The principal control structure of CNC machine tools and industrial robots is similar, since in both systems each axis of motion is separately controlled with a position feedback loop. Nevertheless, ...

    • Buckling and Postbuckling of Imperfect Cylindrical Shells: A Review 

      George J. Simitses (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1986)
