Abstract: Spatial wave attenuation in elastic material is investigated in light of attenuating neighborhood theory of continuum mechanics. The attenuating part of the constitutive equation is expressed by an integral function of ...

Abstract: A new structural vibration control system called the Intelligent Passive Vibration Control (IPVC) System is presented. Such a system theoretically consists of two parts: a passive part (first) and an intelligent part ...

Abstract: Viscous damping is often represented by dashpot in earthquake engineering. However, it is seen that the process of earthquake wave attenuation cannot be fully explained by such representation. The restrictions of dashpot ...
