This study consists of three parts: 1) Part A: Limiting Height Evaluation for Composite Wall Tests, 2) Part B: Mid-Span Deflection Evaluation for Composite Wall Tests, and 3) Part C: Nominal Axial Strength Evaluation f ...

The (nonlinear) response behavior of a piecewise-linear system is investigated under both deterministic and stochastic excitations in this study. A semi-analytical procedure is developed to predict the system behavior ...

Recent developments in estimation of the survivability of a U.S. Navy transport barge in random seas are extended to improve accuracy. The single Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) model of a extreme roll response of a barge used ...

A numerical model for the simulation of fully-coupled fluid-structure interaction is developed in this study. In modeling the fluid, the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved for an incompressible viscou ...

Base isolation is an alternative seismic design strategy in which the primary structures and their internal components are uncoupled from the potentially damaging horizontal components of an earthquake by base isolator ...

The focus of this work is on the steady-state analysis of RE circuits using a coupled device and circuit simulator. Efficient coupling algorithms for both the time-domain shooting method and the frequency-domain harmon ...

Response behavior of a nonlinear structural system subject to environmental loadings is investigated in this study. The system contains a nonlinear restoring force due to large geometric displacement. The external exci ...
