Experimental-numerical analysis of thin-walled box structures with integral corrugated stiffeners, subjected to torsion

The study presents the results of model experimental investigations and nonlinear numerical analyses of thin-walled, two-segment box structures with various configurations of integral corrugated stiffeners. The models for experimental testing were fabricated using additive manufacturing techniques. Five variants of the...

Research on Asymmetric Gear Stiffness

To meet the need for optimizing the dynamic performance of asymmetric gear transmissions operating under high-speed and heavy-load conditions, this study presents a refined stiffness modeling approach. A tooth-surface contact stiffness model is formulated based on Hertzian contact theory. By integrating the energy met...

A noble analytical solution for the size of rectangular footing subjected to axial, bending, and surcharge load

This paper introduces a comprehensive mathematical framework for the design of rectangular reinforced concrete footings under axial load, surcharge, and biaxial moments, accounting for both fully and partially supported contact conditions. The proposed method presents a set of closed-form equations obtained via integra...
