Abstract: An improved means of obtaining the elastic constants of component-lead-board assemblages from two three-point bending tests and one four-point torsion test is proposed. The suggested method models ...

Abstract: Models of varying complexities are being used to represent the frequency-dependent dynamic force deformation characteristics of viscoelastic dampers. More sophisticated models with real or complex fractional derivatives ...

Abstract: Viscoelastic dampers are being used in structures to mitigate dynamic effects. The models of varying complexities from simple maxwell element to differential models with fractional and complex order derivatives have been ...

Abstract: The equations of motion of rotating machines subjected to seismic motions are quite complex, consisting of asymmetric general matrices with parametric and gyroscopic terms. Fortunately, the ...
