Run-of-River Controller for Hydro Plants
New York State Electric and Gas Corporation has installed programmable run-of-river (ROR) controllers at five of their plants. Each of these plants has either two or three units with installed...
Random Vibration of Mass-Loaded Rectangular Plates
The classical method of separation of variables in conjunction with the Green's function of the vibrating plate is used to obtain the solution of the free vibration problem...
Stochastic Response for Tertiary Systems
A modal superposition method is presented for obtaining the response of a single-degree-of-freedom tertiary subsystem mounted on a primary-secondary system. The method is direct in that...
Dynamic Response of Systems with Uncertain Properties
This paper addresses the methodology for determining the response of a structure modelled as single-degree-of-freedom system whose mass, damping and stiffness parameters are known only...
On Analysis of Dynamic Structure/Media Interaction
A version of the Global-Local Finite Element Method (GLFEM) is applied to the analysis of soil-structure interaction under steady-state excitation. The soil medium is considered to be...
Constrained Viscoelastic Layers for Passive Vibration Control of Structures
Infills with constrained viscoelastic layers for increasing the energy absorption capacity of structures are examined. The infills are expected to 'work' in the...
Bidirectional Seismic Response of Simple Structures
For design purposes it has been common to consider that seismic excitations act in one direction at a time. Analytical studies over the past decade have indicated that this may not be...
Impact on Test by Various Multiaxis Excitation
The purpose of this paper is to provide input guidelines in evaluating various types of multiaxis excitation on fragility level testing of electronic devices. There are many variables...
Fluid/Structure Interaction During Seismic Excitation
Hydrodynamic loading and other fluid/structure interaction effects need to be considered in the design of structures which contain, surround, or are submerged in fluids when subject to...
