Abstract: An analysis of free vibrations of tall buildings, such as frame, shear‐wall, and frame‐shear‐wall structures, is proposed and discussed in this paper. Frame buildings are treated as shear beams with varying cross sections, ...

Abstract: The variability of surface temperature simulated by a global climate model with a simple mixed-layer ocean is analyzed. The simulated diurnal and seasonal ranges of temperature are compared with observation, as is the ...

Abstract: Mitigating collision is a fundamental issue in contact problems, and is required to ensure the safety of a robotic cell. Research into the contact problem between robots and their environment is divided into two parts: one ...

Abstract: Fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is very important to guarantee the safety of manufacturing. Periodic impulsive fault features commonly appear in vibration measurements when local defects occur in the key components ...
