Abstract: Free vibration of structures is investigated by using a multidegree of freedom nonlinear model that allows for nonlinear behavior of the soil underlying the structure. The considered nonlinearity ...

Abstract: In this paper, we derive a nonlinear dynamical model for an overhead crane. The model takes into account simultaneous travel and transverse motions of the crane. The aim is to transport an ...

Abstract: Leaks in pipelines are unintentional releases of quantities of products from pipelines into the environment. Leaks contribute to the environmental pollution, promote corrosion and equipment failures, ...
