Abstract: The synthesis of the desired nonlinear characteristics for the spring and damper used to isolate a single mass from a vibrating base is here investigated. The analysis is confined to the ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytical solution for linear long-wave reflection by an obstacle of general trapezoidal shape is explored. A closed-form expression in terms of first and second kinds of Bessel functions is obtained for ...

Abstract: In this paper, we study the scattering and trapping of wave energy by a submerged truncated paraboloidal shoal. The analytical approach of Liu et al. in 2004 for solving wave amplification around a circular island mounted ...

Abstract: AbstractBased on several reanalysis and observational datasets, this study suggests that the Silk Road pattern (SRP), a major teleconnection pattern stretching across Eurasia in the boreal summer, shows clear interdecadal ...

Abstract: A partial ACL injury may involve different levels of fiber disruption, or fibers may sustain microscopic changes in their structure without gross disruption, resulting in a change in ligament ...

Abstract: The high pressure branch pipe in hydropower station (BPHS) is usually composed by different materials in different parts and has complicated geometric configurations. The accurate and efficient ...

Abstract: During the operation of tunnels, structural performance could inevitably degrade due to stochastic and adverse factors. To reduce the randomness and uncertainty of the tunnel operation, this paper provides a novel global ...

Abstract: This study investigated the wave reflection and transmission caused by a single bar or trench with a cycloidal cross section. An exact solution was constructed, in terms of the Frobenius series, to the modified mild-slope ...

Abstract: In this paper, linear long-wave reflection by a rectangular obstacle with two scour trenches of power function profile is explored. A closed-form analytical solution in terms of the first and second kinds of Bessel functions ...
