Out-of-Plane Vibrations of Plane Frames
The frame vibrations studied in Chaps. 3 to 5 are for in-plane vibrations. If a plane frame acted upon by a force or horizontal ground vibration in...

Dumbbell Model for Dilute and Semi-Dilute Solutions
Dumbbell models are very crude representations of polymer molecules. Too crude to be of much interest to a polymer chemist, since it in no way...

Conical Shells of Linearly Varying Thickness Subjected to Normal Loads
The equilibrium equations for a surface element of a conical shell in the framework of generalized plane stress of linear theory of elasticity are...
