Random Vibrations of Discrete and Continuous Inelastic Structures
Nonstationary random vibrations of elasto-plastic cantilever beams excited by earthquakes are studied, where a finite spread of inelastic zones is taken into account. Following a complete...
Discrete Enforcement of Uncertain Oscillator Gaussian Response
A limited number of step-by-step procedures have been developed to recursively evaluate the response moments of uncertain systems. In several of these procedures, the recursive evaluation...

Approximate Reliability Analysis of Highway Bridges Under the Action of Random Vehicles?In Relation to an Interchange Bridge of China
In relation to an interchange curved bridge of China, a simple method by FSE for analysis of stochastic vibration has been proposed. The random vibration characteristics of bridge structures...
Vibration Tests and Damage Detection of P/C Bridges
A three-span countryside P/C bridge has been found to have excessive deflections in two of the three spans. It is reported that the prestresses in tendons of two girders of different spans...
Mode Truncation Effects on Flexible Space Structures
This paper deals with the problem of active vibration control of flexible space structures. The main difficulty associated with this problem is that the structure has infinite vibration...
Monitoring Vibration
Vibration monitoring for construction projects is increasing rapidly. Instrumentation for measuring structural response to blasting began in the mining industry with research by the U.S....
Less Bang for the Buck
Blasting rock is practical on job sites with ample space, but on construction sites in urbans or developed settings, contractors are shying away from blasting for several reasons. Noise...
Space Construction: A CSI Perspective
This paper outlines the control structure interaction (CSI) problem for space construction engineers. An overview of the Control Astrophysics and Structures Experiment in Space (CASES)...
Dynamics of Composite Tubes
A displacement-based stiffness method is used to study the characteristics of dispersive wave propagation in laminated composite cylindrical tubes. It is assumed that the tube is composed...
Effect of Gravity on Dynamic Behavior of Beams
Large space structures will be needed to provide structural framework for maintaining relative positions of individual components of systems in low earth orbit. Particularly because of...
Forces Acting on a Vortex-Excited Vibrating Cylinder in Planar Oscillatory Flow
An experimental investigation into the vortex-excited vibration of a circular cylinder in planar oscillatory flow has been made with emphasis being placed on the amplification of the forces...
Characteristics of the Flood Release-Induced Vibrations with Qianshui Thin-Arch Dam
In this article the prototype observations and design analyses are described regarding the flood release-induced vibrations of the Qianshui thin-arch dam and its foundation; and their...
Model Tests for Design of Vibration-Free Gates
Experimental results are presented of hydraulic forces acting on an underflow gate. Underflow gate is a socalled bluff body and a review of the mechanism of vibration caused by separation...
Detection of Small Voids by Impact-Echo and Signal Processing
The Impact-Echo method was used to detect slab thickness, presence of small voids and reinforcement locations in a concrete slab. Studying the frequency response of the slab, it is possible...
Taming Structural Vibrations
Vibration is a common problem in buildings that contain large spaces and long spans, especially gymnasiums and dance studios. Research shows that people respond more adversely to continuous...
