Abstract: The behavior of a single degree of freedom system consisting of a single mass mounted on a spring and damper attached to an oscillating base is investigated. Steady-state and transient sinusoidal ...

Abstract: The geometry of both the Archimedean and the logarithmic spiral, when formed into the third dimension, is considered. Changes in profile resulting from the choice of constant helix angle and ...

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: A method is presented for the determination of an optimum shape of a convex shell of revolution with respect to volume and weight. The technique depends on selecting a multiparameter equation ...

Abstract: An experimental and analytical investigation is conducted regarding the behavior of Ontario‐type reinforced concrete bridge decks. A full‐scale bridge deck (both cast‐in‐place and precast), detailed in accordance with the ...

Abstract: This paper describes the new International Comprehensive Ocean–Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) near-real-time (NRT) release (R3.0.2), with greatly enhanced completeness over the previous version (R3.0.1). R3.0.1 had been ...
