This study investigates the frequency detuning effects of parametric and direct excitation for near-resonant nonlinear structural vibrations. Specifically, the detuning e [...]

Pipe installations are widely used in many industrial applications, particularly in oil, water, natural gas distribution and chemical industry. Although there are many di [...]

The paper is concerned with application of the Floquet theory for analysis of wave propagation in periodic in polar coordinates elastic structures. Although analysis of t [...]

Lightweight wooden structures have become more popular as a sustainable, environmental-friendly and cost-effective alternative to concrete, steel and masonry buildings. H [...]

Wave guide modelling of flexible pipes has a wide range of applications. Risers used in the oil and gas industry, suffering under internal and external flow induced vibra [...]

This paper presents a study on quantitative prediction and understanding of timeharmonic wave characteristics in damped plates. Material dissipation is modelled by using [...]

This paper shows that conventional Timoshenko dispersion relation for bending waves is a (0; 1) member of a two-parameter family (m; n) of approximations to the exact Ray [...]

This paper shows that conventional Timoshenko theory for bending waves is a member of a two-parameter family (m; n) of approximations to the exact equations of linear ela [...]

Vibration of machines is an unwanted phenomenon, and it is usually of interest to eliminate it. There are various means to be used in order to reach the goal. The utiliza [...]
