Abstract: In structural dynamics, direct integration algorithms are commonly used to solve the temporally discretized differential equations of motion. Integration algorithms are categorized into either implicit or explicit. Implicit ...

Abstract: Surge oscillations in a differential surge chamber have two degrees of freedom and are characterized by nonlinearities. The linear approximation provides stability criteria for small perturbations around the equilibrium ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) highway bridges are essential lifeline structures, especially in California, which has numerous active faults at which earthquakes are common occurrences. Accurate seismic structural analysis is ...

Abstract: The existing machine learning (ML) models for vibration-based damage assessments often use highly compressed features or are restricted to preprocessed signals with fixed durations and sampling rates. Additionally, the ...

Abstract: Microbial cement (MC) can generate biocalcium carbonate on the surface of mortar in the liquid environment, which shows potential advantages to enhance the surface property of prefabricated components. This paper is aimed ...
