Abstract: A method of two dimensional analysis of sandwich panel assemblies used as main resisting elements of building structures is provided. This method is based on the equivalent wide column frame analogy, with due consideration ...

Abstract: In the last decade, there has been an increasing attention on the use of highly and weakly nonlinear solitary waves in engineering and physics. These waves can form and travel in nonlinear systems such as onedimensional ...

Abstract: This article presents a numerical formulation and the experimental validation of the dynamic interaction between highly nonlinear solitary waves generated along a mono-periodic array of spherical particles and rails in a ...

Abstract: A nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique based on highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs) has been developed recently by a few groups worldwide. The technique is based on the propagation and detection of these waves ...

Abstract: Fractional-order thermodynamics has proved to be an efficient tool to describe several small-scale and/or high-frequency thermodynamic processes, as shown in many engineering and physics applications. The main idea beyond ...

Abstract: In this paper we present a noninvasive technique based on the propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs) to monitor the stability of dental implants. HNSWs are nondispersive mechanical waves that can form and ...

Abstract: In the last decade, there has been an increasing attention on the use of highlyand weaklynonlinear solitary waves in engineering and physics. These waves can form and travel in nonlinear systems such as onedimensional ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the dynamic interaction between a monoatomic chain of solid particles and a thin-walled spherical pressure vessel. The objective is to find a relationship between the highly nonlinear solitary waves ...
