Abstract: Fractional-order derivatives provide a powerful tool for the characterization of mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials. Fractional oscillators are mechanical models of viscoelastically damped structures, the ...

Abstract: AbstractIn recent years, the construction industry in China has witnessed a persistently high death toll, and human unsafe behavior is the main cause of accidents. Foremen, as key frontline managers on construction sites, ...

Abstract: This paper presents mechanical energy and equivalent viscous damping for a single-degree-of-freedom fractional Zener oscillator. Differential equation of motion is derived in terms of fractional Zener constitutive equation ...

Abstract: Abstract This study presents a constitutive model developed to accurately predict the mechanical behavior of saturated soils, applicable to both overconsolidated clay and dense sand. The CASM-d model integrates key features ...
