A class of reduced-order models in the theory of waves and stability. [PDF]
Proc Math Phys Eng Sci, 2016 This paper presents a class of approximations to a type of wave field for which the dispersion relation is transcendental. The approximations have two defining characteristics: (i) they give the field shape exactly when the frequency and wavenumber lie ...

Micropolar curved rods. 2-D, high order, Timoshenko’s and Euler-Bernoulli models
Curved and Layered Structures, 2017 New models for micropolar plane curved rods have been developed. 2-D theory is developed from general 2-D equations of linear micropolar elasticity using a special curvilinear system of coordinates related to the middle line of the rod and special ...

Nitsche’s method for two and three dimensional NURBS patch coupling [PDF]
, 2013 We present a Nitche’s method to couple non-conforming two and three-dimensional NURBS (Non Uniform Rational B-splines) patches in the context of isogeometric analysis (IGA). We present results for linear elastostatics in two and and three-dimensions. The

Heterogeneous mathematical models in numerical analysis of structures [PDF]
, 1924 This paper presents a common approach to the numerical analysis of elasticity and heat conduction problems in computed structures. It is based on a combination of the linear elasticity theory with Timoshenko's shell theory for elasticity problems, and of

A Measurement of Newton's Gravitational Constant [PDF]
, 2006 A precision measurement of the gravitational constant $G$ has been made using a beam balance. Special attention has been given to determining the calibration, the effect of a possible nonlinearity of the balance and the zero-point variation of the ...

Simplified analytical model for tapered sandwich beams using variable stiffness materials [PDF]
, 2016 A simplified layer-wise sandwich beam model to capture the effects of a combination of geometric taper and variable stiffness of the core on the static response of a sandwich beam is developed. In the present model, the face sheets are assumed to behave

Reflections on a Measurement of the Gravitational Constant Using a Beam Balance and 13 Tons of Mercury [PDF]
, 2014 In 2006, a final result of a measurement of the gravitational constant $G$ performed by researchers at the University of Z\"urich was published. A value of $G=6.674\,252(122)\times 10^{-11}\,\mbox{m}^3\,\mbox{kg}^{-1}\,\mbox{s}^{-2}$ was obtained after ...
