  • Wave interaction with rubble mound structures

    Creator:
    Yoo, Chul-hee
    Abstract:
    The objective of this study is the development and verification of an analytical solution for an unsteady flow field partially occupied by a permeable structure. Flow is induced by a small amplitude incident wave train and the permeable structure may contain multilayered anisotropic but homogeneous material. The analytical solution developed...

  • Identification of structural parameters and hydrodynamic effects for forced and free vibration

    Creator:
    Kruchoski, Brian L. (Brian Louis)
    Abstract:
    Statistically-based estimation techniques are presented in this study. These techniques incorporate structural test data to improve finite element models used for dynamic analysis. Methods are developed to identify optimum values of the parameters of finite element models describing structures. The parameters which may be identified are : element area, mass...

  • Aseismic performance of a cable-stayed structure with decentralized H[infinity] control

    Creator:
    Chńg, Guan B.
    Abstract:
    The dissertation uses state-of-the-art structural engineering theories, in parallel with the modern and still-developing control theory of electrical engineering to mitigate the vibratory responses of a double-stayed bridge subjected to strong earthquake ground motions. First, a nonlinear finite element model of the double-stayed bridge subjected to non-uniform (multi-support) earthquake excitations...
