Stochastic finite element analysis of long-span bridges with CFRP cables under earthquake ground motion

TL;DR: In this paper, a stochastic seismic analysis of long-span bridges with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) cables is presented, in which the cable's cross sectional area is determined by the principle equivalent axial stiffness.

Building and Reducing a Three-Field Finite-Element Model of a Damped Electromechanical Actuator

TL;DR: In this paper, a model based on finite element discretization is proposed to simulate the dynamics of a microactuator, which gives a monolithic description of the strong coupling between the mechanical, electrostatic, and fluid fields.
