Abstract: This paper studies the dynamic behavior of one of the oldest masonry arch bridges of the Iranian railway network, the Veresk bridge, located in the Mazandaran province of Iran. To do so, the writers developed an advanced ...

Abstract: This paper presents an exploration of noncollinear Timoshenko beam structures for attenuating the stress waves generated from impulsive transient loadings. Due to the existence of the noncollinear segments, flexural waves ...

Abstract: This paper describes the wave-propagation behavior of multilayered structures and proposes an optimization procedure for designing layered stress wave attenuators. Two types of stress wave attenuators were investigated, ...
