in this paper coupled nonlinear equations of motion of a suspended cable with time dependent tension and velocity are derived by using hamilton’s principal. a modal analysis for a stationary sagged cable is initially carried out in order to identify the dynamic system. the natural solution is directed to compute the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the free vibration of a suspended cable....

The nonlinear transfer of energy among modes of different frequencies on a vibrating string is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The nonlinearity is associated with the wellknown variation of string tension caused by the vibration modes, but it is essential that at least one of the end supports has finite mechanical admittance if there is to be any mode coupling. If the nonrig...

in this paper the critical strain energy release rate for t300/913 carbon-epoxy laminated composites has been studied using ansys finite element software based on virtual crack closure technique ( vcct ). compact tension ( ct ) specimen has been used for numerical analyses and the geometrical dimensions have been extracted from the existing references. the results obtained from the finite eleme...

Surface wrinkling of mucosae is crucial for the biological functions of many living tissues. In this paper, we investigate the instability of a cylindrical tube consisting of a mucosal layer and a submucosal layer. Our attention is focused on the effects of internal pressure and surface tension on the critical condition and mode number of surface wrinkling induced by tissue growth. It is found ...

OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of interfacial surface roughness on the flexure strength and fracture mode and origin utilizing an in-vitro assessment of the clinical failure conditions expected for all-ceramic crowns and the connector area of fixed partial dentures (FPDs) using bilayered ceramic specimens tested in bi-axial flexure. METHODS Sets of 20 bilayered composite discs, with core:den...

Bone is generally loaded under multiaxial conditions in vivo; as it invariably contains microcracks, this leads to complex mixed-mode stress-states involving combinations of tension, compression and shear. In previous work on the mixed-mode loading of human cortical bone (using an asymmetric bend test geometry), we found that the bone toughness was lower when loaded in far-field shear than in t...
