Abstract: We present a mixed integer nonlinear least-squares problem for identifying damage in truss structures from their measured response. In detecting damage based on parameter estimation, the number of unknown parameters is ...

Abstract: Wave motion of a liquid in a partially filled hollow cylindrical rotor, which rotates at a high speed and is forced to vibrate, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. Main emphasis ...

Abstract: For elastoplastic trusses under quasi-static cyclic loading, a method is presented for finding the steady-state limit that bounds the plastic shakedown and ratchetting regions. In the plastic ...

Abstract: This paper investigates in detail the new vibrating lift made by utilizing the principle of the self-synchronization of mechanical vibrators. In a general way products ride up inclined way of ...

Abstract: An efficient impact damper consists of a bed of granular materials moving in a container mounted on a multibody vibrating system. This paper deals with the damping characteristics of a ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the dynamic instability of a high-speed rotor containing a partitioned cavity filled with two kinds of liquids of different density. The system considered simulates ...
