Dynamic stiffness analysis provides a frequency-dependent characterisation of structural rigidity by establishing exact relationships between forces and displacements in vibrating systems. Unlike ...

An air spring (AS) for ships must have the structural strength of its bellows enhanced considerably to ensure its reliability under high internal pressure and strong impact. In this case, the ...

Bolted joints are among the most common structural elements in precision machinery. They are used because they are strong, serviceable and reliable. Yet, despite their prevalence, the moment stiffness ...
