Abstract: Control of vibrations in lightweight road vehicle systems has placed increasingly higher demands on the technology required to accurately model and predict dynamic response of a vehicle system. ...

Abstract: To develop a resilient reinforced concrete frame structure, the seismic performance of circular concrete columns reinforced by low bond ultrahigh strength (LBUS) rebars is investigated experimentally in this paper. Eight ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new approach to analyzing the dynamic response of active material systems with integrated induced strain actuators, including piezoelectric, electrostrictive, and magnetostrictive ...

Abstract: By introducing linear and constant terms with an undetermined parameter and subsequently using certain rules to determine the optimal value of the parameter, we establish analytical approximate ...

Abstract: This review article attempts to explain TRIP generally and its appearance in different materials. Continuum mechanics formulations are mainly used to explain this phase change phenomenon. An ...

Abstract: Fabric is modeled as a particular type of membrane formed from two orthogonal families of yarns. In contrast to usual membrane theory, the fabric is regarded to possess a certain compressive ...

Abstract: The lateral bearing performance of a defective pile-supported wharf located on a slope was investigated through centrifuge modeling, and a numerical model was employed to back-analyze the centrifuge test data. The pile ...
