Experimental And Theoretical Studies In Fatigue Damage Modeling
(2010-12-07)This thesis has two parts. In the first part, we use the results of new fatigue experiments conducted with variable load levels as well as variable stress ratios to critically assess three (two old and one relatively ... -
New Solution Methods For Fractional Order Systems
(2010-09-24)This thesis deals with developing Galerkin based solution strategies for several important classes of differential equations involving derivatives and integrals of various fractional orders. Fractional order calculus finds ... -
A Prestress Based Approach To Rotor whirl
(2010-06-02)Rotordynamics is an important area in mechanical engineering. Many machines contain rotating parts. It is well known that rotating components can develop large amplitude lateral vibrations near certain speeds called critical ... -
Studies On The Dynamics And Stability Of Bicycles
(2009-02-25)This thesis studies the dynamics and stability of some bicycles. The dynamics of idealized bicycles is of interest due to complexities associated with the behaviour of this seemingly simple machine. It is also useful as ... -
A Study Of Four Nonlinear Systems With Parametric Forcing
(2010-06-01)This thesis considers four nonlinear systems with parametric forcing. The first problem involves an inverted pendulum with asymmetric elastic restraints subjected to harmonic vertical base excitation. On linearizing ... -
A Study Of Four Problems In Nonlinear Vibrations via The Method Of Multiple Scales
(2010-12-03)This thesis involves the study of four problems in the area of nonlinear vibrations, using the asymptotic method of multiple scales(MMS). Accordingly, it consists of four sequentially arranged parts. In the first part ...
