In this paper a general formulation for the nonuniform warping dynamic analysis of beams of arbitrary simply or multiply connected cross section, under arbitrary external [...]

A novel passive vibration isolation and damping concept is implemented to wind turbine towers in order to minimize their response, under wind or seismic loads. This conce [...]

In this paper a novel design methodology for seismic isolation of bridges is presented employing the KDamper passive system and the Harmony Search (HS) optimization algor [...]

In this paper, a higher order beam theory is employed for local buckling analysis of beams of arbitrarily shaped, homogeneous cross-section, taking into account warping a [...]

In this research effort, Isogeometric tools are employed either in the Analog Equation Method (AEM), a boundary element based method, or in the Finite Element Method for [...]
