The performance of structures with active variable stiffness (AVS) systems exhibits strong nonlinearity due to the variety with time of the stiffness of each st
A series solution of displacement response of the ground surface in the presence of underground twin tunnels subjectcd to excitation of incident plane SV waves
Viscoelastic dampers, as supplementary energy dissipation devices, have been used in building structures under seismic excitation or wind loads. Different analy
A general method is developed for optimal application of dampers and actuators by installing them at optimal location on seismic-resistant structures. The study
Viscoelastic dampers are now among some of the preferred energy dissipation devices used for passive seismic response control. To evaluate the performance of st
The analysis of dynamic responses of cable-stayed bridges subjected to wind and earthquake loads generallyconsiders only the motions of the bridge deck and pylo
In this paper, the dynamic stress concentration and scattering of SH-waves by bi-naterial structures that possess an interface elliptic cavity are investigated.
