Model Reduction Methods for Rotor Dynamic Analysis: A Survey and Review
TL;DR: This survey discusses the previous literature reviews on model reduction, reduction methods applied to rotor systems, the current state of these reduction methods in rotor dynamics, and the ability of the literature to reduce the complexities of large order rotor dynamic systems but allow accurate solutions.

Vibration of composite cylindrical shallow shells subjected to hygrothermal loading-experimental and numerical results
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of curvature ratios, lamination sequences and boundary conditions on natural frequencies of vibration under hygrothermal loading are investigated both numerically and experimentally.

Impact analysis of laminated composite plates and shells by super finite elements
Reza Vaziri,X. Quan,M.D. Olson +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a super finite element method was used to predict the transient response of laminated composite plates and cylindrical shells subjected to non-penetrating impact by projectiles, which is based on the classical theories of thin laminated plates and shells taking into account the von Karman kinematics assumptions for moderately large deflections.
Traffic Load Effects on Bridges Statistical Analysis of Collected and Monte Carlo Simulated Vehicle Data
TL;DR: In this article, statistical evaluations of traffic load distributions on bridges, obtained from real as well as Monte Carlo (MC)simulated vehicle data, are presented, and the results showed that the trafficload models from codes gave considerably higher load effects compared to the current actual traffic load effects.

Use of a Rayleigh damping model in elastography
TL;DR: An optimization-based global property reconstruction algorithm was developed, and used for testing Rayleigh damping parameter reconstructions with gaussian noise added to the simulated motion input data, and achieved significantly better accuracy than would be predicted by examining the motion differences for differing CSM/CD damping combinations.
