Abstract: Nondestructive inspection of structures by modal analysis of vibration response is reported. The dependence of natural frequencies and modal damping coefficients on deterioration in structures is examined. The magnitude ...

Abstract: An experimental study of crack closure and its effects on the vibration of a simple beam shows that both frequency and damping changes due to the crack are influenced significantly, to the point of being obscured in some ...

Abstract: The response of a semi-infinite, cylindrical, viscoelastic shell to longitudinal impact is studied using the Laplace transform. The evaluation by asymptotic methods for large values of time also ...

Abstract: An integrated spectral-integral formulation is applied for prediction and active control of the noise generated by propellers inside the cabin of a general aviation aircraft. It consists of a ...

Abstract: With a height of 52 stories and a steel structure visible from the exterior, the New York Times Building is the third-tallest building in the city of New York. Located on 8th Avenue between 40th and 41st Streets, it was ...

Abstract: The encounter of extreme waves, extreme wave groups, or unfavorable wave sequences poses dangerous threats for ships and floating/stationary marine structures. The impact of extreme waves causes ...

Abstract: A constitutive relation is formulated for coated fabrics that exhibit both elastic and inelastic, but time‐independent, responses. The nonlinear orthotropic response is represented by an elastic portion related to yarn ...

Abstract: An analytical viscoelastic model is proposed to predict the time-dependent displacement of adhesive anchoring systems under axial tension. Using the correspondence principle, the elastic solution in Paper I has been extended ...
