Abstract: This is the first of two papers that present the results of a comprehensive and systematic study into the effects of false flooring on the vibration serviceability of long-span concrete floors. In this paper, advanced modal ...

Abstract: This is the second of two papers that present the results of a comprehensive and systematic study into the effects of false flooring on the vibration serviceability of long-span concrete floors. In this paper, controlled ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of a combined experimental and analytical approach to investigate modal properties of a lively open-plan office floor. It is based on state-of-the-art finite-element (FE) modeling, FRF-based ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional residual stress mapping of an aluminum 2024-T3 arcan specimen, butt-welded by the friction stir technique, was performed by neutron diffraction. Results indicate that the residual ...

Abstract: Figure 2 on p. 216 of the article does not have the correct dimensions for the Arcan test specimens. The discrepancy can be seen by comparing Fig. 2 to Fig. 6 in the article. The properly ...

Abstract: The behavior of humans jumping and bobbing on flexible structures has become a matter of some concern for both structural integrity and human tolerance. The issue is of great importance for a number of structure types ...
