Abstract: The paper presents an approach to the vibration analysis of a spinning cylindrical shell with internal, symmetric, or external ring stiffeners. A modified receptance method for spinning structures ...

Abstract: Solving engineering problems is a creative, experiential process. An experienced engineer generally solves a new problem by recalling and reusing some similar instances examined before. According to such a method, the ...

Abstract: The present American Institute of Steel Construction specifications use the alignment charts and approximate formulas conveniently to determine some coefficients in design, such as moment gradient coefficient

Abstract: Increasing interest has focused on applying active control systems to civil engineering structures subjected to dynamic loading. This study presents an active pulse control algorithm, termed the adaptive neural structural ...

Abstract: We report on the modelbased development of a climbing robot that is capable of performing dynamic vertical and lateral climbing motions. The robot was designed based on the twoarm verticalclimbing model inspired by the ...

Abstract: Diaphragm wall deflection is an important field measurement in deep excavation. The monitoring data are applied to evaluate the construction performance to avoid a supporting system failure or damages incurred to adjacent ...
