Abstract: In this article we present a simplified time model of elastic deformation in rubber. The originality of the method is to provide a model with very few degrees of freedom while conserving the ...

Abstract: This paper considers two stochastic models for a soil-structure interaction problem with vertical propagation of P waves during strong earthquake motion. These models include the horizontal and vertical spatial variability ...

Abstract: The nonlinear behavior of the hydrodynamic forces generated by squeeze film dampers makes dynamical analyses of rotor-bearing systems incorporating such devices a complex and often long task. ...
