Various papers on theoretical and applied mechanics are presented. Individual topics addressed include: wave propagation in orthogonally stiffened shells, experimental validation of Iosipescu shear test, numerical simulation of unsteady aerodynamics, free vibrations of annular sector plates, nonstationary random vibration analysis of linear systems, characterization of acoustic emission signals, conical shells of variable wall thickness, analysis of damage near fiber breaks in hybrid composites, electrooptical system to measure strains, airfoil design method for viscous flows, planar velocimeter using digital cross-correlations, dynamic stall characteristics of circulation control airfoils, nonlinear vibrations of a beam-mass structure, dynamic analysis of space-related linear and nonlinear structures. Also discussed are: defect sensitivity of filament-wound structures in compression, analysis of porosity effects in ceramic materials, flow field measurements near a rotor blade tip, inflow to a rotor blade under controlled excitation, compound scaling algorithm for mathematical optimization, application of structural intensity to a beam, strain measurement with automated grid methods, higher-order shell theory for cylindrical laminates, maneuvering of flexible multibody systems, noncollocated control of continuous systems.
