Dynamic Effect of Sediment on Dam Hydrodynamics
The dam-reservoir-foundation interaction problem has been studied by many investigators. A two dimensional model of compressible porous media is employed to analyze the dynamic response...

Myocardial Wall Stress: A Clinician's View
Definition of left ventricular (LV) wall stress is a parameter which has a valid application in clinical medicine. This paper discusses this application as it pertains to various cardiac...

Assessment of Left Ventricular Flow Dynamics Using the Finite Analytic Method: Potential for Clinical Applications
Left ventricular (LV) function is traditionally assessed from chamber wall motion, rheological properties of the myocardium, and invasive measurements of chamber pressure. In order to...

Effect of Stenotic Geometry on Blood Flow Behavior
The dynamic characteristics of the blood flow is affected by the area reduction of stenosis. To estimate the severity of stenosis, the information about the geometry should also be accounted....

Simulation of Blood-Heart Interaction: Validation of Approach
An existing pressure correction method to model unsteady flow with arbitrarily moving boundaries has been adapted to simulate the interaction of three-dimensional blood flow with a mitral...

A Computer Simulation of the Blood Flow at the Aortic Bifurcation with Flexible Walls
To understand the possible role of hemodynamics in the atherogenesis, especially the effect of the flexibility of the arteries, a two-dimensional numerical model for the blood flow at...

Simulation of Head/Neck Response to -Gx Impact Acceleration
The Articulated Total Body (ATB) model has been developed to predictively simulate the head and neck response by specifying a 2-segment/2-joint system driven at the anatomical thoracic...

A Two-Dimensional Model of Airbag Deployment
An interactive program was developed to simulate the unfolding and deploying process of a driver side airbag in the sagittal plane. The airbag was represented by a series of nodes. We...

Dynamic Responses of the Precision Segmented Reflector
This paper concerns a structural simulation effort aimed at studying dynamic responses of the Precision Segmented Reflector when subjected to seismic disturbances. The study results indicated...

Stochastic Seismic Response of Simple Structures
Since, at present, it is impossible to eliminate the various sources of uncertainty related to earthquake loading, it is necessary to better understand their effects on structural seismic...

Vibration Suppression Through Liquid Oscillations
A passive liquid-motivated control system is proposed to suppress and reduce the lateral drift of high-rise buildings. The vibration reduction mechanism relies on liquid motion to alter...

Dynanmic Stability and Seismic Response of Damped Beams in the Presence of Follower Forces
The dynamic stability and the seismic response of general beams are examined, by discretizing the structure to a set of rigid bars, linked together by means of elastic constraints (Cells...

Effects on Seismic Spatial Variations to Suspension Bridge Responses
The dynamic soil-structure interaction effects and spatial variations of a seismic motion seem to have significant contributions on the response evaluation of a long span suspension bridge....

Comparative Time Domain Analysis of Some Available Analytical and Empirical Expressions for the Spatial Variability of Seismic Ground Motions
Simulations in space and time based on models for the spatial variability of seismic ground motions are generated. Displacement time histories are simulated through the spectral representation...

R/C Columns Under Axial and Bi-Directional Lateral Loads
The reliability of a model, called a multi-spring model, was examined to simulate the observed response of reinforced concrete columns subjected to varying high axial loads and bi-directional...

Dynamic Response Analysis of Three-Dimensional Beam-Columns
This paper describes a methodology for dynamic response analysis of three-dimensional beam-columns, whereby an elastic force's axial-flexural interaction is modeled with stability...

Forced Vibration Analysis of Frame Structures Subjected to Support Movements by the Distributed Mass Method
The dynamic response of frame structures subjected to support movements as a time varying excitation is analyzed by the distributed mass method. The continuous nature of a structure can...

Dynamic Behavior of a Non-Linear Cable Truss
The equations of motion of a geometrically non-linear cable truss are presented. The behavior of the truss subject to harmonic excitation is studied....

Free Vibration of Stepped Beams
This paper addresses the free vibration of a stepped Euler-Bernoulli beam using dynamic flexibility methods. The characteristic equation of the system is derived, from which the system...

Using a Linearized Yield Surface in Dynamic Analysis
