Abstract: In this paper, a nonideal mechanical system with the LuGre friction damping model is considered. The mechanical model of the system is an oscillator not necessarily linear connected with an ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to describe a problem formulation and an optimization procedure for the design of elevated reinforced concrete foundations for vibrating machines. Special emphasis is placed on structures ...

Abstract: A new failure surface and criterion are developed for prismatic reinforced concrete structural elements subjected to biaxial bending and axial load. The failure criterion is a smooth surface in 3D space (two moments and ...
