Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation of a particle damping method for a beam and a plate. Tungsten carbide particles are embedded within longitudinal (and latitudinal) holes drilled ...

Abstract: Large-scale construction projects that unify multiple subprojects and cover a large site area have been increased by rapid urbanization. Frequent traffic accidents have occurred inside these construction sites, which highly ...

Abstract: This study addresses the limitations of current research on the clogging mechanism of asphalt mixtures, which are constrained by costly and complex testing equipment. We introduce a novel method to assess the permeability ...

Abstract: Particle damping is a technique of providing damping with granular particles embedded within small holes in a vibrating structure. The particles absorb kinetic energy through particle-to-wall and ...

Abstract: Two novel nonparametric identification approaches are proposed for piezoelectric mechanical systems. The novelty of the approaches is using not only mechanical signals but also electric signals. The expressions for unknown ...
