Abstract: Mathematical models for capturing the effects of intrinsic damping are based upon a multitude of simplifying assumptions. In this work, common equivalent linear models are reviewed, and their implementations for modeling ...

Abstract: The construction of the Battery-Joralemon Street Tunnel is described. Built between 1903 and 1907, it was the first subway tunnel placed in service under the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Both heading-and-bench ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the relationships between the scalar particle shape descriptors and macroscopic dissipative properties of dry, clean sands. To define these relationships in a consistent and ...
