Abstract: Frequency domain modal parameter identification methods have several attractive properties as compared with the time domain methods except for the limitation of low-order-and-narrow-band per analysis. ...

Abstract: Material degradation and failure in rolling contact components are often associated with surface crack initiation and propagation under repeated contact loading. In the presence of lubricating ...

Abstract: This short paper is concerned with a direct application of the techniques developed by the authors in two previous publications. It is considered as a “booster” to the existing alternating ...

Abstract: In this the second part, the attention will he focused on the practical implementation of the techniques proposed in Part 1. Firstly, the problem of generating a periodic excitation signal ...

Abstract: This is the first part of a paper on an innovative approach of studying general nonlinear structural dynamic systems. In this part, the theoretical background and some numerical simulations are ...

Abstract: Cracking and delamination at the interfaces of different materials in plastic IC packages is a well-known failure mechanism. The investigation of local stress behavior, including characterization ...

Abstract: The different joint arrangements resulting from different segmental assemblies between adjacent rings may inevitably give rise to the interaction for staggered jointed lining, which is crucial for the structural analysis ...

Abstract: The discrete-element method was employed to investigate the macro- and micromechanical behaviors of anisotropic granular specimens using orientational rotational shear (ORS) tests. The variations in the initial fabric ...

Abstract: The low stiffness of steel U-shaped girders during incremental launching construction has led to the development of an innovative incremental launching construction method that addresses the special requirements of long, ...
