Abstract: Based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT), an efficient and accurate algorithm was developed for improving the computational efficiency of structural responses under nonstationary stochastic excitations. In this method, ...

Abstract: The spectral matrix decomposition is a significant task for a wind velocity field simulation. However, the decomposition requires significant computational time and memory for large-scale structures with a large number of ...

Abstract: Traffic signal structures are very susceptible to wind-induced vibration because of their slenderness and low damping. In the wind, the vertical vibration is usually dominant, which affects driving safety and structural ...

Abstract: This paper studies the real case of naturally ventilated space with a convective/radiative heat source and nonadiabatic envelopes. The real envelopes and heat source are introduced into a simple ...

Abstract: The frequency domain approach (FDA) based on the power spectral description of input and output has been widely applied in the random vibration analysis of structures because of its high efficiency and distinct relationship ...

Abstract: This study aims to develop a prefabricated flexible ultrathin overlay that can quickly and effectively repair cracks, particularly reticulation cracks, in old asphalt pavements while improving skid resistance. The overlay ...

Abstract: This paper describes a combined system of stratificated air conditioning and natural ventilation for large enclosures, which uses stratificated air conditioning to cool the occupied part of a ...
