TL;DR: In this paper, an exact finite strip method is developed for the free vibration analysis of axially moving viscoelastic plates, where the exact stiffness matrix of a finite strip of plate is extracted in the frequency domain.

TL;DR: In this article, the free vibration of axially moving symmetrically laminated plates subjected to in-plan forces is studied by classical plate theory, which includes symmetric cross-ply and angle-ply laminates and anisotropic plates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed investigation of the lateral performance of K-braced cold-formed steel structures and their response modification coefficients, R factor, is presented, and a total of 12 full-scale 2.4×2.4 m specimens of different configurations are considered, and the responses investigated under a standard cyclic loading regime.

TL;DR: In this article, the exact finite strip method was used to obtain a solution for linear free vibration and stability of an axially moving plate subjected to plane stresses, where the plate may travel over multiple line supports and the exact natural frequencies and the speed at the onset of instability in the travelling plate can be identified for different boundary conditions and plate dimensions.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed investigation was conducted on 9 full scale strap-braced CFS walls and the required data were derived from the results of the experiments, as a consequence, quantitative and qualitative damage indices have been proposed in three seismic performance levels.
