Abstract: Based on mathematical induction, an expedient method of computation of natural frequencies for a close-coupled linear vibrational system of equal inertias and equal spring stiffnesses is devised.

Abstract: Based on mathematical induction, we can prove that the eigenvalues of a special nth order circulant matrix are degenerate. Hence the eigenvibration problem of an n degree-of-freedom symmetrically ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of the cam-driven mechanism is investigated for a variety of cam motion profiles. Based on a linear, lumped system model of single degree of freedom, the results of the ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a flexible dry friction plate to mitigate the vibration of thin-walled structures for one resonance crossing. Based on a cantilever beam–friction damper finite element model, the geometry and material ...

Abstract: Land surface variables, such as soil moisture, are among the most important components of memory for the climate system. A more accurate and long time series of land surface data is very important for real-time drought ...

Abstract: Extensive uncertainties exist in many resources and environmental management problems, which can be interrelated and thus amplify the complexity and nonlinearity of study systems. The interactions from dependent random ...
