On the stability of the Timoshenko cantilever column subjected of a compressive follower force, the influences of the moment of inertia of the tip mass at the free end and the characteristics of a translational spring at the free end of the column are studied. The equations of motion and boundary conditions of system are estabilished by using the d'Alembert virtual work of principle. On the evaluation of stability of the column, the effect of the shear deformation and rotatory inertia is considered in calculation. The moment of inertia of the tip mass at the free end of the column is changed by adjusting the distance c, from the free end of the column to the tip mass center. The free end of the column is supported elastically by a translational spring. For the maintenance of the good stability of the column, it is also proved that the constant of the translational spring at the free end must be very large for the case without a tip mass while it must be small for the case with a tip mass. Therefore, it is found that the shape of the tip mass and the characteristic of the spring at the free end are very effective elements for the stability of the column when the columns subjected to a compressive follower force are designed.

An analysis is presented on the stability of elastic cantilever column subjected to uniformly distributed follower forces as to the influence of the elastic restraints and a tip mass at the free end. The elastic restraints are formed by both the translational and the rotatory springs. For this purpose, the governing equations and boundary conditions are derived by using Hamilton's principle, and the critical flutter loads and frequencies are obtained from the numerical evaluation of the eigenvalue functions of this elastic system. The added tip mass increases as a whole the critical flutter load in this system, but the presence of its moment of inertia of mass has a destabilizing effect. The existence of the translational and rotatory spring at the free end increases the critical flutter load of the elastic cantilever column. Nevertheless their effects on the critical flutter load are not uniform because of their coupling. The translational spring restraining the end of cantilever column decreases the critical flutter load by coupling with a large value of tip mass, while by coupling with the moment of inertia of tip mass its effect on the critical flutter load is contrary. The rotatory spring restraining the free end of cantilever column increases the critical flutter load by coupling with the tip mass, but decreases it by coupling with the moment of inertia of tip mass.

Objective: To evaluate the technical applicability of a semiautomatic three-dimensional (3D) hybrid CT segmentation method for the quantification of right ventricular mass in patients with cardiovascular disease. Materials and Methods: Cardiac CT (270 cardiac phases) was used to quantify right ventricular mass using a semiautomatic 3D hybrid segmentation method in 195 patients with cardiovascular disease. Data from 270 cardiac phases were divided into subgroups based on the extent of the segmentation error (no error; ≤ 10% error; > 10% error [technical failure]), defined as discontinuous areas in the right ventricular myocardium. The reproducibility of the right ventricular mass quantification was assessed. In patients with no error or < 10% error, the right ventricular mass was compared and correlated between paired end-systolic and end-diastolic data. The error rate and right ventricular mass were compared based on right ventricular hypertrophy groups. Results: The quantification of right ventricular mass was technically applicable in 96.3% (260/270) of CT data, with no error in 54.4% (147/270) and ≤ 10% error in 41.9% (113/270) of cases. Technical failure was observed in 3.7% (10/270) of cases. The reproducibility of the quantification was high (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.999, p < 0.001). The indexed mass was significantly greater at end-systole than at end-diastole (45.9 ± 22.1 g/m² vs. 39.7 ± 20.2 g/m², p < 0.001), and paired values were highly correlated (r = 0.96, p < 0.001). Fewer errors were observed in severe right ventricular hypertrophy and at the end-systolic phase. The indexed right ventricular mass was significantly higher in severe right ventricular hypertrophy (p < 0.02), except in the comparison of the end-diastolic data between no hypertrophy and mild hypertrophy groups (p > 0.1). Conclusion: CT quantification of right ventricular mass using a semiautomatic 3D hybrid segmentation is technically applicable with high reproducibility in most patients with cardiovascular disease.

An analysis is presented on the stability of an elastic cantilever column having the elastic restraints at its free end, carrying an added tip mass, and subjected to uniformly distributed follower forces. The elastic restraints are formed by both a translational spring and a rotatory spring. For this purpose, the governing equations and boundary conditions are derived by using Hamilton's principle, and the critical flutter loads and frequencies are obtained from the numerical evaluation of the eigenvalue functions of this elastic system. The added tip mass increases as a whole the critical flutter load of the elastic cantilever column, but the presence of its moment of inertia of mass has a destabilizing effect. The existence of the translational and rotatory springs at the free end increases the critical flutter load of the elastic cantilever column. Nevertheless, their effects on the critical flutter load are not uniform because of their coupling. The translational spring restraining the free end of the cantilever column decreases the critical flutter load by coupling with a large value of tip mass, while by coupling with the moment of inertia of tip pass its effect on the critical flutter load is contrary. The rotatory spring restraining the free end of the cantilever column increases the critical flutter load by coupling with the tip mass, but decreases it by coupling with the moment of inertia of the tip mass.

The nonlinear dynamic characteristic of a straight tube conveying fluid with constraints and an attached mass on the tube is examined in this study. An experimental apparatus composed of an elastomer tube conveying water which has an attached mass and constraints is made and comparisons are done between the theoretical results from non-linear equation of motion of piping system and experimental results. And the results show that the tube is destabilized as the mass of the attached mass increases, and stabilized as the position of the attached mass close to the fixed end. In case of a small end-mass, the system shows rich and different types of periodic solutions. For a constant end-mass, the system undergoes a series of bifurcations after the first Hopf bifurcation, as the flow velocity increases, which causes chaotic motion of the tube eventually.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the natural frequencies and mode shapes of tapered beams with general boundary condition(translational and rotational elastic support) at one end and carrying a tip mass of rotatory inertia at the other end. The beam model is based on the classical Bernoulli-Euler beam theory which neglects the effects of rotatory inertia and shear deformation. (omitted)

In case of considering the shear effect, the complete solutions are obtained for dynamic plastic response of a rigid, perfectly plastic hinged-free beam, of which one end is hinged and the other end free, subjected to a transverse strike by a travelling rigid mass at an arbitrary location along its span. Special attention is paid to new deformation mechanisms due to shear sliding on both sides of the rigid mass and the plastic energy dissipation. The dimensionless numerical results demonstrate that three parameters, i.e., mass ratio, impact position of mass, as well as the non-dimensional fully plastic shear force, have significant influence on the partitioning of dissipated energy and failure mode of the hingedfree beam. The shear effect can never be negligible when the mass ratio is comparatively small and the impact location of mass is close to the hinged end.

On the stability of the cantilever beam subjected to a follower force at the free end, the influences of the translational spring and the moment of inertia of a tip mass at the free end have been studied by numerical methods. The centroid of a tip mass is offset from the free end of a Beam and is located along its extended axis to vary the value of moment of inertia of a tip mass. It is proved that as the constants of a spring supporting the free end are augmented, the critical flutter loads of the above system decrease, whereas they increase without a tip mass.

The end bearing behavior of piles socketed in weathered/soft rock is generally dependent upon the mass conditions of rock with fractures rather than the strength of intact rock. However, there are few available data and little guidance in the prediction of the end bearing capacity of drilled shafts socketed in weathered/soft rock, considering rock mass weathering. Therefore, a database of 13 load tests was constructed first, and new empirical relationships between the base reaction modulus of piles in rock and rock mass properties were developed. No correlation was found between the compressive strengths of intact rock and the base reaction modulus of weathered/soft rock. The ground investigation data regarding the rock mass conditions(e.g. Em, Eur, RMR, RQD) was found to be highly correlated with the base reaction modulus, showing the coefficients of correlation greather than 0.7 in most cases. Additionally, the applicability of existing methods for the end bearing capacity of piles in rock was verified by comparison with the field test data.
