Eigenvalue solution of thermoelastic instability problems using Fourier reduction

A ­ nite-element method is developed for determining the critical sliding speed for thermoelastic instability of an axisymmetric clutch or brake. Linear perturbations on the constant-speed solution are sought that vary sinusoidally in the circumferential direction and grow exponentially in time. These factors cancel in the governing thermoelastic and heat-conduction equations, leading to a line...

Thermoelastic Stress Analysis for Linear Thermoelastic Bodies

The thermoelastic stress analysis for linear thermoelastic bodies is developed as a mathematical support to the infra-red radiometric method (SPATE) applied to structures under cyclic loading conditions.

On Partially Observed Stochastic Shortest Path Problems

We analyze a class of partially observed stochastic shortest path problems. These are terminating Markov decision process with imperfect state information that evolve on an innnite time horizon and have a total cost criterion. For well-posedness, we make reasonable stochastic shortest path type assumptions: (1) the existence of a policy that guarantees termination with probability one and (2) t...
