Finite dynamic element analysis for high-speed flexible linkage mechanisms

TL;DR: In this paper, the generalized equations of motion for high-speed planar elastic mechanism systems were developed by utilizing finite dynamic element theory, in which the gross motion and elastic deformation coupling terms were taken into account.

Control of marine riser end angles by position mooring

TL;DR: In this paper, a system consisting of a vessel, mooring lines and a drilling riser was modeled and a strategy was proposed to control the vessel's position by changing the tensions in the moorings lines to ensure that the riser end angles are within safe limits.

Dynamic analysis of structural systems using component mode synthesis

TL;DR: The major issues related to the analysis of large structural systems by substructuring are investigated in this paper, where three different component mode synthesis method, in the case of structural systems composed by two substructures, are described.

Dynamic response of plate systems by combining finite differences, finite elements and laplace transform

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical method for the determination of the dynamic response of large rectangular plates or plate systems to lateral loads is proposed, which is a combination of the finite difference method, the finite element method and the Laplace transform with respect to time.

A study of the stress distribution in rotating, orthotropic discs

TL;DR: In this paper, the stress distribution in rotating discs made with orthotropic material has been calculated by defining the displacement field by means of both an algebraic and trigonometrical series, and the approximate solutions thus obtained have been compared with known analytical solutions for the particular cases of constant thickness discs with and without a central hole.
