Abstract: The development of predictive computer human models in wholebody vibration has shown some success in predicting simple types of motion, mostly for seated positions and in the uniaxial vertical direction. The literature ...

Abstract: This work investigates the effect of elastic support stiffness on the accuracy of moving load identification of Euler–Bernoulli beams. It uses the angular velocity response in solving the ill-posed inverse vibration problem ...

Abstract: Delivering project value primarily depends on understanding project stakeholders' different needs and requirements and translating these needs into a well-constructed facility. This concept is usually insufficiently revealed ...

Abstract: A continuum topology optimization methodology suitable for finding optimal forms of large-scale sparse structures is presented. Since the need to avoid long compressive spans can be critical in determining the optimal form ...

Abstract: A new, meshfree method employing the node-based, smoothed point interpolation method (NS-PIM) is presented as an alternative to the nonlinear finite-element approach for concrete members. The nonlinear analysis is replaced ...

Abstract: The results of a comprehensive study of the seismic response of curved steel box girder bridges are presented. Multiple‐span bridges with up to five spans are analyzed. The bridge is modeled using 3‐D space frame elements ...

Abstract: Once the sizes of the cross sections of members of continuous beams or grids are assumed, it is possible to perform by computer—for any loading—the structural analysis and the design checks for serviceability and ultimate ...
