Abstract: An evaluation of publications on reduction of structural eigenvalue problems has revealed the following: (1) Most of the published techniques are essentially equivalent to Guyan reduction; (2) published techniques to ...

Abstract: This note presents a method of reduction for the solution of the eigenproblem in structural dynamics using a modification of the dynamic condensation method. The proposed modification substantially reduces the number of ...

Abstract: A comprehensive mathematical program was formulated to determine simultaneously (1) an optimum number of pavement clusters, (2) cluster memberships of pavement samples, (3) cluster-specific significant ...

Abstract: The paper presents an analytical method to ascertain the conditions for self-synchronization of a mechanical system excited by two unbalanced rotors with their axes of rotation arranged in any ...

Abstract: lobal solar radiation Rg is an important input for crop models to simulate crop responses. Because the scarcity of long and continuous records of Rg is a serious limitation in many countries, Rg is estimated using models. ...
