Abstract: We consider a fourth-order nonlinear system of differential equations that describe the slope of a steadily rotating flexible rod, one end of which is clamped, and the other end of which is ...

Abstract: Actuator tracking and compensation are important in the general field of experimental structural dynamics to effectively conduct vibration testing. Real-time hybrid substructuring (RTHS) is a method of vibration testing ...

Abstract: Hybrid simulation is a tool for investigating the dynamic response of a structural prototype subjected to realistic loading. Hybrid simulation is conducted using a hybrid model that combines physical and numerical substructures ...

Abstract: High-rise structures with large aspect ratios are subjected to unexpected motions under wind excitation. Structural vibrations induced by vortices in the wake were captured by aeroelastic real-time hybrid simulation ...

Abstract: AbstractNarrow, tropopause-level wind speed maxima known as jet streams or jets are among the most ubiquitous structural characteristics of Earth?s atmosphere. Two species, the polar and subtropical jets, can be observed ...

Abstract: Magneto-rheological (MR) fluid dampers have been identified as a particularly promising type of semiactive control device for hazard mitigation in civil engineering structures. Large-scale experimental testing is important ...

Abstract: Bridges play a significant role in postevent recovery and disaster resiliency of communities. Recent megadisasters, such as the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, have prompted the technical community to understand the ...
