Abstract: Modal properties of a structure can be identified by experimental modal analysis (EMA). Discrete frequency response functions (FRFs) and impulse response functions (IRFs) between response and excitation series are bases ...

Abstract: This work presents a finite element (FE) study of a perfectly elastic axisymmetric sinusoidalshaped asperity in contact with a rigid flat for different amplitude to wavelength ratios and a wide range of material properties. ...

Abstract: Riveted connections are widely used to join basic components, such as beams and panels, for engineering structures. However, accurately modeling joined structures with riveted connections can be a challenging task. In this ...

Abstract: Hierarchical structures are structures that themselves contain structural elements. Hierarchical lattice structures are counterparts of the traditional lattice structures, whose walls are replaced by some kind of structure. ...

Abstract: A continuously scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (CSLDV) system is capable of rapidly obtaining spatially dense operating deflection shapes (ODSs) by continuously sweeping a laser spot from the system over a structure ...

Abstract: Delamination frequently occurs in a laminated composite structure and can cause prominent local anomalies in curvature vibration shapes associated with vibration shapes of the composite structure. Spatially dense vibration ...

Abstract: Reflecting on the application and implications of this work [1], the authors realized that a few items should be discussed.Although the work is for elastic sliding contact, it could be adapted for elastic–plastic contact ...
