Abstract: The thermal surface distortion of an anisotropic elastic half-plane is studied using the extended version of Stroh’s formalism. In general, the curvature of the surface depends both on the local ...

Abstract: The equivalent linear system is one of the approximate methods for estimating the maximum inelastic displacement response of structures in performance-based seismic design and evaluation. Traditionally, the equivalent ...

Abstract: For approximate estimation of the maximum inelastic roof displacement demand for existing multistory buildings, the current displacement coefficient method uses the maximum linear elastic displacement of the first-mode ...

Abstract: A statistical study of the damping reduction factors considered the effects of site classes from 1,037 acceleration time histories are presented. The factors are computed from the displacement and acceleration response ...

Abstract: This paper presents the test and analytical results of a full-scale 5 story steel frame with added viscoelastic (VE) dampers. The ISD110 VE dampers made by 3M Company are installed to the long (East–West) direction of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents theoretical and experimental studies on the stratification decay in stratified storage tanks. The effects of the thicknesses of tank wall and thermal insulation were discussed. ...

Abstract: An important problem in thermo-mechanical contacts is the determination of the stress and displacement fields caused by heat flow. Heat flow may come from a difference in temperature between ...

Abstract: Anisotropic materials represent a unique class of materials, including crystals, wood, thin-films, and composites. Existing work in the literature has provided the engineering community with an ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional thermoelastic contact problem of an anisotropic half-space indented by a heated rigid flat punch is studied using the extended version of Stroh’s formalism. Two cases, where ...
