Abstract: The near resonant response of suspended elastic cables driven by harmonic, planar excitation is investigated experimentally. Measurements of large amplitude cable motions confirm previous theoretical ...

Abstract: The orthogonality condition for vibrating three-dimensional framed structures has been directly applied to solve initial value problems. In solving the dynamic response problems due to force and ...

Abstract: General considerations, a numerical procedure, and several examples for the optimization of corrugated claddings are presented. The objective of this study is to minimize bending stresses due to bending moment acting on ...
