Abstract: In this brief note, we present the results of a full finite deformation analysis of a system similar to the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge saddle repair system. The dimensions used are for illustration purposes but are ...

Abstract: In this paper we present a theory of finite deformation viscoelasticity. The presentation is not restricted to small perturbations from the elastic equilibrium in contrast to many viscoelasticity ...

Abstract: The common computation for understanding the buckling of reinforcement bars is associated with a unilateral rigid foundation with a set of uniformly spaced spring supports. In this technical note we examine the related ...

Abstract: Hybrid simulation is an experimental technique involving the integration of a physical system and a computational system with the use of actuators and sensors. This method has a long history in the experimental community ...
