Abstract: mprovements on nonhydrostatic atmospheric models such as MM5 in the last few decades have enhanced our understanding of the precipitation mechanism affected by topography and nonlinear dynamics of the atmosphere. This study ...

Abstract: Eddy current damping has been widely applied in mechanical engineering; however, its adaptation for civil engineering applications remains rather limited due to its low density of energy dissipation. This study presents ...

Abstract: Random decrement technique (RDT) is a popular time-domain approach to extract modal properties of structures from ambient vibration data; however, it may result in poor estimation results when structural modes are closely ...
