Frequency analysis of coupled shear wall assemblies
TL;DR: In this paper, the finite strip procedure is used to predict the free vibration response of both planar and non-planar coupled shear wall assemblies, where the solid walls are considered as vertical cantilever strips and a comparison is made between modelling the spandrel beams as discrete beams and as an equivalent continuum with orthotropic plate properties.

Structural instability and natural vibration analysis of thin arbitrary shells by use of the Semiloof element
R.A.F. Martins,David R. Owen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an eigenvalue solution scheme based on Sturm sequences is presented which does not require the usual elimination of a percentage of the total nodal variables by static condensation.

Module-Based Static Structural Design of a Modular Reconfigurable Robot
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural design of modular reconfigurable robots (MRRs) is studied, and a nonlinear approach using a genetic algorithm is used to search for an optimal solution.
Experimental and numerical investigation of mode veering in a stressed structure
TL;DR: A detailed analytical and numerical investigation on mode veering is reported in this paper, where stress stiffening approximations are employed to obtain a tangent stiffness for a non-linear stat ic solution, which is then used in a linear dynamic analysis.

A comparative study on static and dynamic responses of FRP composite and steel suspension bridges
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the feasibility of using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in suspension bridge applications by comparing the response of two identical long-span suspension bridges, one constructed from FRP composite and the other made of steel under static and dynamic loadings using FEM.
