Abstract: The free vibration analysis of thinand thickwalled layered structures via a refined onedimensional (1D) approach is addressed in this paper. Carrera unified formulation (CUF) is employed to introduce higherorder 1D models ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates the vibration characteristics of structures with viscoelastic materials. The mechanical properties of viscoelastic layers have been described with the complex modulus approach. The equations of motion ...

Abstract: This paper presents the dynamic analysis of rotating structures using node-dependent kinematics (NDK) one-dimensional (1D) elements. These elements have the capabilities to assume a different kinematic at each node of a ...

Abstract: In traditional active flutter control, piezoelectric materials are used to increase the stiffness of the aeroelastic structure by providing an active stiffness, and usually the active stiffness matrix is symmetric. That ...
