Abstract: This paper deals with the Runge-Kutta numerical solution of the modified-Duffing ordinary differential equation with viscous damping. Accurate backbone curves for the finite-amplitude vibrations of ...

Abstract: This paper newly develops a method for the damage severity estimate for lattice structures based on the employment of the substructure potential energy (SPE). While all existing damage severity ...

Abstract: A simple but effective formulation of beams with large deformation and large rotation is derived from the principles of continuum mechanics. Proper assumptions are imposed, and the beam strain tensors are formulated from ...

Abstract: A new formulation for plates/shells with large deformations and large rotations is derived from the principles of continuum mechanics and calculated using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) techniques. A class ...

Abstract: Zener-Stroh crack is formed via coalescing dislocations piled up against an obstacle such as an interface of bimaterial. The crack is loaded by the total number of dislocations entered it, ...

Abstract: The present paper deals with the effects of initial geometric imperfections on large-amplitude vibrations of simply supported rectangular plates. The vibration mode, the geometric imperfection, and ...

Abstract: This papers deals with the effects of initial geometric imperfections on large-amplitude vibrations of cylindrical panels simply supported along all four edges. In-plane movable and in-plane ...

Abstract: The present paper deals with the design of beneficial geometric imperfections of short, thin-walled columns in order to maximize their energy absorption. The investigation was motivated by the ...

Abstract: In order to identify coherent structure of turbulent shear flow, a new combination of familiar techniques of signal processing, called wavelet correlation analysis, is developed based on the ...
