Abstract: The frequency response analysis of large, linear structural models subjected to deterministic, dynamic loads is oftentimes a computationally intensive task. The situation is only exacerbated when stiffness and damping ...

Abstract: High-rise structures with large aspect ratios are subjected to unexpected motions under wind excitation. Structural vibrations induced by vortices in the wake were captured by aeroelastic real-time hybrid simulation ...

Abstract: Evaluating controllable damping designs typically requires simulation of the resulting inherently nonlinear closed-loop system because linear design strategies cannot always be reliably used. These analyses typically require ...

Abstract: A large portion of highway bridges in the United States are reaching or have reached their intended design lives. To avoid replacing a large number of bridges simultaneously, methodologies to safely extend their lives are ...

Abstract: Evaluating controllable damping designs typically requires simulation of the resulting inherently nonlinear closed-loop system because linear design strategies cannot always be reliably used. These analyses typically require ...

Abstract: An innovative experimental method, called aeroelastic real-time hybrid simulation (aeroRTHS), is proposed to study the aerodynamic vibrations of a building model in a boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT). The aeroRTHS method ...
