Abstract: In recent years, much attention has been paid to the research and development of a new kind of passive control device named a particle damper, which has a very similar configuration and application method to the tuned mass ...

Abstract: A large number of laboratory triaxial experiments were performed to evaluate the likely cumulative settlement of a low embankment road on soft subsoil due to the traffic loads, for the purpose of determining the undrained ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the dynamic behavior of structures with a particle damper (PD) and a tuned mass damper (TMD) by shaking table tests and aeroelastic wind tunnel tests. The influence of parameters including seismic ...

Abstract: The contribution of tensile cracks to the stability of cracked slopes is important. The tensile characteristics of tensile cracks have a significant influence on the stability of rock slopes. Therefore, in this paper, based ...

Abstract: In order to accurately and efficiently simulate the dynamic processes of coupled phenomena with viscoelastic, continuous and discontinuous deformations, a three-dimensional (3D) numerical manifold method combining Maxwell's ...
