TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the natural frequencies and modes of rotating rings without using the inextensional assumption and an attempt was made to interpret the time dependent natural modes from various viewpoints.

TL;DR: Vibrational properties of thin rectangular plates continuous over intermediate rigid simple supports and simply supported along two opposite edges with simply supported and/or clamped end conditions have been calculated by using the receptance method as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the mechanical impedance measurement technique to obtain data necessary to determine the vibration characteristics of the human hand and derived the values of the masses, springs and dampers for an equivalent mass-spring-damper system which simulates the dynamic response of the hand.

TL;DR: In this paper, the harmonic and periodic forced vibrations of rotating rings are derived and investigated, where the modal expansion technique yields the forced solution, which is characterized by four generalized co-ordinates associated with each n (circumferential wave number).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the walk of horizontal and vertical axis washers using dynamic models of these washing machine systems and found that the horizontal axis washer typically exhibits an oscillatory walk behavior in place while the vertical axis exhibited an unstable walk behaviour in the sense that the oscillating machine will move steadily in a direction dictated by the rotational direction of the basket.

TL;DR: This paper presents a novel computational approach, the discrete singular convolution (DSC) algorithm, for analysing plate structures, and demonstrates that different methods of implementation for the present algorithm can be deduced from a single starting point.
Abstract: This paper presents a novel computational approach, the discrete singular convolution (DSC) algorithm, for analysing plate structures. The basic philosophy behind the DSC algorithm for the approximation of functions and their derivatives is studied. Approximations to the delta distribution are constructed as either bandlimited reproducing kernels or approximate reproducing kernels. Unified features of the DSC algorithm for solving differential equations are explored. It is demonstrated that different methods of implementation for the present algorithm, such as global, local, Galerkin, collocation, and finite difference, can be deduced from a single starting point. The use of the algorithm for the vibration analysis of plates with internal supports is discussed. Detailed formulation is given to the treatment of different plate boundary conditions, including simply supported, elastically supported and clamped edges. This work paves the way for applying the DSC approach in the following paper to plates with complex support conditions, which have not been fully addressed in the literature yet.
