An analytical formulation has been developed in this article for free vibration analysis of honeycomb sandwich panels considering the inevitable uncertainty in structural [...]

Vibration based energy converters employing piezoelectric thin films have gained popularity in recent years. Most of these harvesters are designed to work at resonance in [...]

The classical fixed-point method provides closed-formulas for the optimal parameters of a tuned mass damper (TMD) when the damping model has instantaneous memory. This me [...]

The Canadian Association of Earthquake Engineering sent a seven member team to Kathmandu, Nepal, following the 2015 M7.8 Gorkha earthquake. The M7.8 Gorkha earthquake of [...]

This paper introduces the idea of nonlocal normal modes arising in the dynamic analysis of nanoscale structures. A nonlocal finite element approach is developed for the a [...]

This article provides the theoretical development and simulation results of a novel Galerkin subspace projection scheme for damped dynamic systems with stochastic coeffic [...]

Post-earthquake reconnaissance of the 2001 Bhuj (India) earthquake and the 1995 Kobe (Japan) earthquake reveals that the pile supported structures still collapse after ma [...]
