Abstract: The dynamic response of a vehicle, with a conventional suspension system, traversing a multispan simply supported guideway system is studied parametrically. The steady state response of the system ...

Abstract: Using a measured functional relationship for draft gear characteristics a nonlinear model is developed to predict the coupler forces between cars of a railroad train. The model is then simplified, ...

Abstract: In previous work, by means of stochastic and deterministic models, the authors presented a system identification theory for performing nondestructive testing of elastic systems. The procedure ...

Abstract: In aortoiliac occlusive disease, atherosclerotic plaques can occlude the distal aortic bifurcation and proximal bilateral iliac artery and thus cause ischemia in the lower extremity. This is typically treated by restoring ...
