An approximate numerical mthod is presented for analysis and determination of modal characteristics in straight, pretwisted non-unifom helicopter blades. The analysis considers the coupled flapwise bending (out of plane), chordwise bending (in plane), and torsion vibration of both rotating and non-rotating blades. The proposed method is based on the integral expansion of Green functions (struct...

The theory of distributions in non-Riemannian spaces is used to obtain exact static thin domain wall solutions of Einstein-Cartan equations of gravity. Curvature δ-singularities are found while Cartan torsion is given by Heaviside functions. Weitzenböck planar walls are caracterized by torsion δ-singularities and zero curvature. It is shown that Weitzenböck static thin domain walls do not exist...

A general theoretical model using the coupling effect between the torsion and bending is presented in this paper, which characterizes the static properties of the electrostatic torsional micromirror, especially its pull-in effect. A set of normalized equations governing the static actuation properties of the torsional micromirror based on the parallel plate capacitor model is derived to demonst...

The increasing interest to improve the description of plastic behavior and fracture prediction for ductile materials under complex loading conditions conducted researchers overcome J2 plasticity theory. To do this more sophisticated model base on damage have been implemented. Material parameters must be identified by means proper testing calibration procedures requiring different conditions. Di...

In this paper new exact solutions in eight dimensional Lovelock theory will be presented. These solutions are vacuum static wormhole, black hole and generalized Bertotti-Robinson space-times with nontrivial torsion. All the solutions have a cross product structure of the type M5 × Σ3 where M5 is a five dimensional manifold and Σ3 a compact constant curvature manifold. The wormhole is the first ...

Abstract: Elastic and geometric stiffness matrices were derived using Castigliano’s first theorem, for the case of torsion of restrained thin-walled bars of open constant bisymmetric crosssection. Functions which describe the angles of torsion were adopted from the solutions of the differential equation for restrained torsion. The exact solutions were simplified by expanding them in a power ser...

In the field equations of Einstein-Cartan theory with cosmological constant a static spherically symmetric perfect fluid with spin density satisfying the Weyssenhoff restriction is considered. This serves as a rough model of space filled with (fermionic) dark matter. From this the Einstein static universe with constant torsion is constructed, generalising the Einstein Cosmos to Einstein-Cartan ...

during the 6-m period, 24 patients with acute scrotal pain were referred to the nuclear medicine department of shaheed labbafi-nejad hospital. their age ranged from 9 to 84 (mean 28.8) years. twelve scans were selected for the study. the scans were performed on angiographic and static phases, using tc-pertechnetate. of the above mentioned cases, one had acute testicular torsion (pre and post op...
