Abstract: With increases in the span length, the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) in bridges often occurs at modest wind velocities. The tuned mass damper (TMD) is very effective in mitigating the VIV, while robustness is a major ...

Abstract: Artificial upwelling and mixing is a new technology for enhancing open ocean mariculture using nutrient-rich deep ocean water. A wave-driven artificial upwelling device was developed based on mathematical modeling and ...

Abstract: The frequency dependence modeling of viscoelastic (VE) materials faces the challenge of high modeling accuracy over a wide frequency range and double-objective optimization in model parameter identification. To address ...

Abstract: This study investigates the parameters design of the tuned mass damper (TMD) for mitigating the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of long-span bridges, which includes the selection of vortex-induced force models and robustness ...

Abstract: In this study, the effects of vertical strain and hydration time on the mechanical behavior and microstructure of expansive soils are examined, addressing the challenges they pose to engineering structures due to ...

Abstract: Molecular chain structures have important impacts on the damping performance of viscoelastic materials/dampers. In the present work, a microstructure mathematical model of viscoelastic dampers is proposed that relies on ...
