This paper investigates the vibrational damping characteristics of laminated plates composed of elastic, viscoelastic and elastic layers by theoretical and experimental methods. Laminated plates are in cylindrical bending and visco-elastic adhesive layer is assumed as the visco-elastic spring which takes damping effect through both shear and normal deformations. Governing equations oof laminated plates are derived in the form of simultaneous first order differential equations, which account for the longitudinal displacements, rotary inertia and shear deformations of elastic base plate and elastic constraining plate. The numerical calculations of the equations are illustrated by the applications to the cantilever beam in transverse vibration. The results of the solutions agree well with the experimental measurements in general. The damping effects due to the shear and thickness deformations in the adhesives are analyzed and it is shown that for thicker adhesives, the damping effect due to thickness deformation becomes significant and for thinner adhesives, due to shear deformation.

Reinforced soil structures may experience large local movements between soil and reinforcement. The failure modes of a reinforced structure depend on several factors which are governed by deformation and slipping of the reinforcement. In some cases, pulling out of the reinforcement may occur instead of rupturing, The growing use of geosynthetic liner system for storage of solid and liquid wastes has led to a number of slope instability problems where the synthetic liner may undergo a large amount of stretching and slipping as a result of the loading. The conventional finite element model for the soil-reinforcement interface uses a zero thickness joint element with normal and shear stiffnesses and can only accommodate a small amount of deformation. When a large slippage occurs, the model provides an i ncorrect mechanism for deformation. This paper presents a new interface finite element model which is able to simulate a large amount of slippage between soil and reinforcement. The formulation of the model is presented and the capability of the model is demonstrated using illustrative examples.

High-speed electronic digital computers have enabled engineers to employ various numerical discretization techniques for solutions of complex problems. The Finite Element Method is one of the such technique. The Finite Element Method is one of the numerical analysis based on the concepts of fundamental mathematical approximation. Three dimensional plate structures used often in partition of ship, box girder and frame are analyzed by Finite Element Method. In design of structures, the static deflections, stress concentrations and dynamic deflections must be considered. However, these problem belong to geometrically nonlinear mechanical structure analysis. The analysis of each element is independent, but coupling occurs in assembly process of elements. So, to overcome such a difficulty the shell theory which includes transformation matrix and a fictitious rotational stiffness is taken into account. Also, the Mindlin's theory which is considered the effect of shear deformation is used. The Mindlin's theory is based on assumption that the normal to the midsurface before deformation is "not necessarily normal to the midsurface after deformation", and is more powerful than Kirchoff's theory in thick plate analysis. To ensure that a small number of element can represent a relatively complex form of the type which is liable to occur in real, rather than in academic problem, eight-node quadratic isoparametric elements are used. are used.

The study is concerned with the theoretical and experimental investigation of the elliptical bulge test. The elliptical bulge test is analyzed by using a rigid-plastic finite element method incorporating large deformation and normal anisotropy. Thin elliptical diaphragms of mild steel are bulged for three aspect ratios. The contact problem the die round and the sheet is successfully solved by using a skew boundary condition. It is shown that the proper consideration of die radius and normal anisotropy is very significant. The relation between bulging pressure and deformation is obtained. It has been found that the pole is nearly under proportional straining during deformation. The instability criterion by maximum load condition enables the effective prediction of instability pressure. The computional results are in good agreement with experimental results and to be very useful for a better understanding of the elliptical bulge test.

In this study, the damage mechanism of large scale steam turbine due to water induction was analyzed and recovery characteristics were reviewed. A turbine consists of the rotating rotor and the stationary casing, and the clearance between them is very small for the efficiency enhancement. If water induction, while relatively cold steam or water is introduced into turbine, occurs, the considerable humping is caused at the casing near the initial water induction point and that induces the rubbing between rotor and casing. Finally, it leads to the catastrophic failure. Bowed rotor has the different characteristics in the recovery depending on damage degree. The elastic deformation due to light rubbing is recovered by turning the rotor with 3 rpm under normal operation condition, but most plastic deformation due to rubbing deforms the local microstructure and that results in permanent deformation which could not be recovered under normal operation condition. Bowed rotor has diverse characteristics depending on the recovery method, and the method is empirical and needs the cutting edge technology. Careful recovery treatment of the rotor will eliminate the risks and secure the high quality rotor similar to new rotor. If any critical error is made during the recovery, the rotor would not be recovered permanently and it should be scrapped.

In this paper, the problem of interfacial stresses in steel cantilever beams strengthened with bonded composite laminates is analyzed using linear elastic theory. The analysis is based on the deformation compatibility approach, where both the shear and normal stresses are assumed to be invariant across the adhesive layer thickness. The original study in this paper carried out an analytical solution to estimate shear and peel-off stresses, as, interfacial stress analysis concentration under the uniformly distributed load and shear lag deformation. The theoretical prediction is compared with authors solutions from numerous researches. This phenomenon of deformation of the members, which gives probably approach on the study of interface of the reinforced structures, is called "shear lag effect". The resolution in this paper shows that the shear stress and the normal stress are significant and, are concentrated at the end of the composite plate of reinforcement, called "edge effect". A parametric study is carried out to show the effects of the variables of design and the physical properties of materials. This research is helpful for the understanding on mechanical behaviour of the interface and design of such structures.

The three force components of shear spinning are calculated by a newly proposed deformation model. The spinning process is understooed as shearing deformation arter uniaxial yuelding by ending, and shear stress .tau.$\sub$rz/ becomes .kappa. the yueld limit in pure shear, in the deformation zone. The tangential forces are calculated and then the feed forces and normal foeces are obtained by assuming a nuiform distribution of roller pressure on the contact surface. An optimum contact area is obtaned by minimizing the bending energy required to obtain the assumed deformation mechanism. The calculated forces are compared with experimental data form published literature and present experiments. Good agreement cetween calculated and experimental values for working forces is obtained over a wide range of process variables.

To ensure the reliability of DVDR-P and DVD-ROM, it is imperative to remedy the unrecoverable creep deformation and/or relaxation of the holding force of an optical disc holder. To predict the deformation of an optical disc holder, a deformation analysis of an 80 mm optical disc holder considering the creep characteristics of 3 plastic materials has been conducted. Subsequently, the results by this Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are experimentally verified. A disc holder inserted in a cartridge case is kept in a chamber of $60^{\circ}C$ with 90 % humidity for 24 hours. The arm span and the holding force of the disc holder are measured after being left for another 24 successive hours at a room temperature and under normal humidity. The predicted results by FEA are in good agreement with experimentally measured values.

Understanding steel/skin contact phenomena is important for the study of object manipulation in robotics and has been a topic of great interest. In this study, pig skin was taken as a surrogate model for human skin, and its adhesive, friction, and deformation behaviors were measured under various exposure times to air. Indentation, friction, and scratch tests were performed at $25^{\circ}C$ and 45% relative humidity. The influences of adhesion and deformation on the coefficient of friction were characterized; the pig skin was found to be sensitive to the sliding velocity and normal load under the controlled experimental conditions.
