In this article, the authors deal with the dynamic ASPECTS of the sub-subject: MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS of systems SUBJECTED to INDEPENDENT VIBRATIONS by means of MATHEATICAL MODELS.
Abstract
PART 1 DEALS WITH THE DYNAMIC ASPECTS OF THE SUBJECT: MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF SYSTEMS SUBJECTED TO INDEPENDENT VIBRATIONS BY MEANS OF MATHEMATICAL MODELS. THE ANALYTICAL SYSTEMS USED ARE NON-LINEAR SYSTEMS, HYDRODYNAMICS AND NUMERICAL METHODS. PART 2 EXAMINES SEISMIC MOVEMENTS, THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR OF STRUCTURES AND THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF THE SEISMIC DESIGN OF STRUCTURES.

Liquid Sloshing Dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a detailed review of liquid sloshing dynamics in rigid containers, including linear forced and non-linear interaction under external and parametric excitations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calculation of nonlinear ground response in earthquakes

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for calculating the seismic response of a system of horizontal soil layers is presented, which takes account of the nonlinear hysteretic behavior of soils and has considerable flexibility for incorporating laboratory results on the dynamic behaviour of soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

A critical review on idealization and modeling for interaction among soil–foundation–structure system

TL;DR: The present study makes an attempt to gather the possible alternative models available in the literature for the soil–foundation–structure interaction system with computational validity, efficiency and accuracy needed in improved design of important structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response-based damage assessment of structures

TL;DR: In this paper, a static pushover analysis is proposed to estimate the expected damage to structures when subjected to earthquakes of different intensities, and results of the analysis of ductile and non-ductile reinforced concrete buildings show that the proposed procedure gives a simple, consistent and rational damage indicator for structures.

The correlation of peak ground acceleration amplitude with seismic intensity and other physical parameters

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of acceleration/intensity correlations has been carried out using a new, worldwide data sample compiled for this study from data measured from nearly 1500 strong-motion accelerograms.
