Abstract: The alternating stop-band characteristics of periodic structures have been widely used for narrow band vibration control applications. The objective of this work is to extend this idea for broadband excitations. Toward ...

Abstract: In many structural applications like bridges, arches, etc., frames are used, and it is important to study their dynamic behavior. Finite element method (FEM) is usually used for computational simulation of vibration for ...

Abstract: A 2-yr (June 1999?June 2001) observation of ocean surface wind speed (SWS) and sea surface temperature (SST) derived from microwave radiometer measurements made by a multifrequency scanning microwave radiometer (MSMR) and ...

Abstract: cle describes a unique field experiment on Severe Thunderstorm Observations and Regional Modeling (STORM) jointly undertaken by eight South Asian countries. Several pilot field experiments have been conducted so far, and ...
