Cables are present in many engineering fields such as bridges, elevators, cranes and ropeways. Due to their specific geometry and structure, they exhibit nonlinear proper [...]

The purpose of this study is to implement a powerful multi-objective (MO) genetic algorithm(GA)-based optimization technique for structural problems, based on the use of [...]

The car crash simulation describes the deformation of the car structure under high velocity (up to 65 km/h) during a very short simulation time (about 100 ms). The simula [...]

The study of structural damping due to frictional contact in the presence of bolt joint has become increasingly important for an accurate prediction of vibrational behavi [...]

In this study, shaking-table test results of a steel moment-frame with end-plate bolted connections are presented. These experimental tests were carried out to understand [...]

Analyzing damage seismic in large and complex structures is one of the most challenging problems in steel moment-resisting frame with end-plate bolted connections. The ex [...]

This paper deals with the behavior of acoustic cavities in the mid-high frequency range. An energy method called Simplified Energy Method (MES) has already been proposed [...]
