Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a new concept of stochastic finite-time stability for a class of nonlinear Markovian switching systems with impulsive effects. Based on the linear matrix inequality ...

Abstract: Existing structures may be in need of seismic upgrading owing to structural deterioration, change in function or use, increased performance requirements, or modified seismic codes. In recent years, fluid viscous (FV) dampers ...

Abstract: A numerical approach for solving the fretting contact on coated or layered materials, with consideration of loading history, is presented in the paper. The fretting problem was solved by using ...

Abstract: This work revealed the flood damage rule of road-bridge binding sites in highway bridge engineering according to the Fr similarity criterion by adopting the orthogonal test design method and emphasizing, exploring, and ...

Abstract: This study employed deep learning to analyze a substantial data set of 109.13 million COVID-19-related microblogs, leading to the construction of a specialized risk perception indicator dictionary. Employing this ...
