Abstract: The well-known modal superposition method for the evaluation of seismic response by the complete quadratic modal combination rule (CQC) is revisited. The most widely used version of the CQC rule utilizes correlation ...

Abstract: The sustained progress in the study of the hysteretic behavior of structural and mechanical systems has led to the adoption of increasingly sophisticated and reliable mathematical representations. Models based on the ...

Abstract: In this study, the effective stiffness of the double-walled carbon nanotube sensor is determined by both the Bubnov–Galerkin method and the finite difference technique. It is shown that in ...

Abstract: A dynamic system with memory is a system for which knowledge of the equations of motion, together with the state at a given time instant

Abstract: The equation of motion of linear dynamic systems with viscoelastic memory is usually expressed in a integrodifferential form, and its numerical solution is computationally heavy. In two recent papers, the writers suggested ...

Abstract: In this study, we investigate the vibrations of the cantilever single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with attached bacterium on the tip in view of developing the sensor. This sensor will be ...
