In this paper we examine the relations that may exist between the geometric variables most frequently used to describe left ventricular contraction. The left ventricle is represented by a thick-walled cylinder contracting both radially and longitudinally. For this model, wall thickening, mid-wall radius shortening and longitudinal axis shorteining can be shown to be uniquely related during cont...

Subsea processing of oil/gas is performed by production system facilities, which are linked into a complete subsea connectors. High reliability and long service life the connectors, defined strict requirement deepwater oil fields, raise challenge design structure components to ASME-VIII code has been applied. The theoretical problems main parameters connector's hub detailed in this paper compar...

A thin-walled shell and a thick-walled mass (cylinder) in contact with it, made of different material, are structural elements many machines, apparatus, structures. The paper considers forced steady-state vibrations cylindrical structures filled layered viscoelastic material. study aims to determine the damping properties structurally inhomogeneous mechanical system under influence harmonic loa...
