%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ASME.tex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%% This is a template for the IMAC (International Modal Analysis %%% Conference) style file imac.sty. No subsubsection format is %%% defined for IMAC, so I used this command for the nomenclature command. %%% With this you should also find imac.bst which applies the closest %%% thing I can determine to be the ``Standard'' for IMAC. %%% The 9 point text size has already been defined in the style file imac.sty. %%% %%% Version 1.01, 5/18/99 %%% \documentclass[twocolumn]{article} \usepackage{imac} \usepackage{helvet} % Uncomment this line if you have ps helvetica % fonts available on your system.

Not that IMAC requires that the author names be in bold, so you have to do this yourself. In addition, I haven't yet hacked the style definition for the title. Maybe I will later, but that's a minor inconvenience. \end{abstract} \subsubsection*{Nomenclature} \begin{tabular}{lll} \matr{M} && matrix\\ \dmat{M}&& diagonal matrix\\ \vect{\Phi} && vector \\ \elem{M_{11}}&& single element of \matr{M}\\ \pnorm{x} && p-norm of \vect{x}\\ $\begin{bmatrix}\matr{M}_{11}&:&\matr{M}_{12}\\ \hdotsfor[2]{1}&:&\hdotsfor[2]{1}\\ \matr{M}_{21}&:&\matr{M}_{22} \end{bmatrix}$ && partitioned matrix\\ \end{tabular} \section{Changes} The only change since 1.00 is the inclusion of the GNU public license. \section{Typing Your Document} \indent First thing to note is that the IMAC style indents the first line of each paragraph, including the paragraph immediately following a section header. You can override the \LaTeX\ default of not indenting by using the \indent command each time after a \verb*a\sectiona command or by using the package \verb*zindentfirstz which can be downloaded from any CTAN location. The second thing which you may need to do is obtain and install the packages: \verb*zcitez, \verb*zcitesortz, \verb*zifthenz, and \verb*zamsmathz. Things will also work out a little nicer if you have the \verb*zhelvetz package, but it is not necessary. If you do have the \verb*zhelvetz package, you should uncomment the line \verb*z\usepackage{helvet}z above. The PostScript\textregistered\ file \verb*zimac.psz can be viewed in \verb*zGhostScriptz or printed to a ps printer for comparison to the results you obtain from \LaTeX ing this document. A few macros have been defined below for conforming to the IMAC\cite{ewins} notation convention (See Table \ref{dm}). If you use them, you can simply redefine the macros according to the journal requirements when the time comes for submission. I've defined only those that I thought were either difficult or do not conform to normal textbook standards. You may find it useful to define your own macros at the end of the file \verb*zimac.styz, but please make sure that you don't delete them the next time you update! In Table \ref{dm} you'll also see some code for making a partitioned matrix. Sorry, but I don't know how to turn this into an environment. If you figure it out, let me know and I'll incorporate it. The colons form the horizontal delimiters and the \verb*z\hdotsforz command forms the vertical delimiters. The first argument represents a spacing of the dots, and the second required argument is the number of columns that the dotted line should span. \begin{table*} \begin{tabular}{lll} \matr{M} &\verb*c\matr{M}c& matrix\\ \dmat{M}&\verb*c\dmat{M}c& diagonal matrix\\ \vect{\Phi} & \verb*a\vect{\Phi}a & vector \\ \elem{M_{11}}&\verb*z\elem{M_{11}}z& single element of \matr{M}\\ \pnorm{x} &\verb*a\pnorm{x}a & p-norm of \vect{x}\\ %%%% Look between these lines for the partitioned matrix code $\begin{bmatrix}\matr{M}_{11}&:&\matr{M}_{12}\\ \hdotsfor[2]{1}&:&\hdotsfor[2]{1}\\ \matr{M}_{21}&:&\matr{M}_{22} \end{bmatrix}$ %%%% Look between these lines for the partitioned matrix code %%%% The stuff below this is for displaying the code.

I'll do my best to fix them in s timely fashion. Please don't contact me with respect to general \LaTeX\ questions. I don't have the time for that kind of inundation. For help with \LaTeX\ please consult Lamport\cite{lamport}, Goossens et al\cite{goossens}, and/or Kopka and Daly\cite{kopka}. Additional resources are available through the \TeX\ newsgroup \verb*zcomp.text.texz, the CTAN archives at \verb*zhttp://www.ucc.ie/cgi-bin/ctanz, and the \TeX users group (TUG) home page (\verb*zhttp://www.tug.org/z). From here on is just some examples to give you some continuing examples of how to do things. The table would have been better off if I have use the \verb*zhhlinez package. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Here is a section} \indent In bladed disk assemblies, the disk acts as a coupling device between the blades. As the stiffness of the disk increases, blade coupling decreases. It has been shown that weak interblade coupling leads to high levels of mode localization when blades are mistuned. \begin{figure} \begin{center} \fbox{There once was a figure here} \end{center} \caption{\label{undeformed}Here is a figure.} \end{figure} \subsection{This is a subsection} \indent All models used in this study were variations of the symmetric, constant stiffness system referred to as the baseline model (Figure \ref{undeformed}). Yada yada. \begin{table} \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline & Random 1 & Random 2 & Random 3\\ \cline{2-4} \raisebox{2ex}{Blade Number} & $10^{-3}$ Kg & $10^{-3}$ Kg & $10^{-3}$ Kg\\ \hline \hline 1 & 0.0168 & 0.3343 & 0.3413\\ 2 & 0.0260 & 0.2867 & 0.4431\\ 3 & 0.2579 & 0.4529 & 0.3710\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{center} \caption{\label{random} Simple table.} \end{table} ... and that's it! If you can't get it to work, I can be reached at \verb*zjslater@cs.wright.eduz. \section*{Acknowledgments} Note that for the Acknowledgments you need to use the \verb*z\sectionz command in the starred form to avoid getting the section number.
