Contact between Adjacent Structures

TL;DR: In this article, the static contact forces developed between adjacent structures are studied, and the role of the aseismic gap between the structures is parametrically investigated. But the authors focus on the case of a design static loading representing an earthquake motion as in the pseudostatic method of analysis for earthquake-resistant structures.

Aspects of computational vibration transmission for sandwich panels

TL;DR: In this paper, a spectral finite element method (SFEM) is developed as an effective numerical tool for the analysis of wave motion in uniform laminated elastic media, and the predicted transfer accelerances obtained for the steel beam and two sandwich panels are compared with measured data from laboratory experiments.

The dynamic stiffness matrix method in the analysis of rotating systems

TL;DR: In this article, a rotating Rayleigh beam, defined by adding the effect of the rotary inertia and the gyroscopic effects to the Bernoulli-Eider beam, has been formulated and its dynamic stiffness matrix is presented.

Dynamic Synthesis of Nonclassically Damped Substructures

TL;DR: In this article, a synthesis approach is presented for calculating the complex eigen-properties of a non-classically damped structure from the complex Eigenproperties of the constituent substructures which are also nonclassically Damped.

Frequency-Dependent Element Mass Matrices

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the theoretical aspects of the formulation of frequency-dependent structural matrices and derived a formulation which allows one to calculate, using a shape function truncated at a given order, the mass matrix expansion at twice that order.
