Abstract: This paper presents results for the entropy generated internally during the charging and discharging processes of a direct, sensible thermal energy store. The two processes correspond to the ...

Abstract: With the aid of the finite element method, the present paper deals with the problem of structural response variability resulting from the spatial variability of material properties of structures, when they are subjected ...

Abstract: This work intends to compare two viscoelastic models, namely ADF and GHM, which account for frequency dependence and allow frequency and time-domain analysis of hybrid active-passive damping ...
