Abstract: The goal of this paper is to study the steady-state dynamic response of an oscillator involving a hysteretic component and exposed to harmonic excitation. This is accomplished by using the ...

Abstract: Control algorithms for rotor load mitigation are today generally adopted by industry. Most of them are based on the Coleman transformation, which is easy to implement and bears satisfactory results when the rotor is balanced. ...

Abstract: The well-known modal superposition method for the evaluation of seismic response by the complete quadratic modal combination rule (CQC) is revisited. The most widely used version of the CQC rule utilizes correlation ...

Abstract: The sustained progress in the study of the hysteretic behavior of structural and mechanical systems has led to the adoption of increasingly sophisticated and reliable mathematical representations. Models based on the ...

Abstract: Electromagnetic sensors can be exploited to determine properties (i.e., density) of hot mix asphalts (HMAs) by observing the surface polarization effects that occur in the radio frequency range of the electromagnetic ...
