Fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) are widely used in long-span suspension bridges for earthquake resistance. To analyze efficiently the influences of FVDs on the dynamic response of a suspension bridge under high-intensity traffic flow, a bridge-vehicle ...

A lattice Boltzmann study of phase separation in liquid-vapor systems with gravity [PDF]
Phase separation of a two-dimensional van der Waals fluid subject to a gravitational force is studied by numerical simulations based on lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM) implemented with a finite difference scheme.

Intensity scaling limitations of laser-driven proton acceleration in the TNSA-regime
We report on experimental results on laser-driven proton acceleration using high-intensity laser pulses. We present power law scalings of the maximum proton energy with laser pulse energy and show that the scaling exponent ξ strongly depends on the scale

Subjective response to seated fore-and-aft direction whole-body vibration [PDF]
Subjective response to seated, fore-and-aft direction, whole-body vibration of the type experienced in automobiles was investigated. Fore-and-aft acceleration was measured at the seat guide of a small automobile when driving over two representative road ...

Persistence of a Continuous Stochastic Process with Discrete-Time Sampling: Non-Markov Processes [PDF]
We consider the problem of `discrete-time persistence', which deals with the zero-crossings of a continuous stochastic process, X(T), measured at discrete times, T = n(\Delta T). For a Gaussian Stationary Process the persistence (no crossing) probability

Validation scheme for small effect of wind tunnel blockage on decaying grid-generated turbulence
This paper proposes a validation scheme for the effect of wind tunnel blockage on decaying grid-generated turbulence. This validation scheme was derived from the governing equations of the k-∈ model.

Dynamical properties of a particle in a wave packet: scaling invariance and boundary crisis [PDF]
Some dynamical properties present in a problem concerning the acceleration of particles in a wave packet are studied. The dynamics of the model is described in terms of a two-dimensional area preserving map.

The effects of walking speed and mobile phone use on the walking dynamics of young adults
Walking while using a mobile phone has been shown to affect the walking dynamics of young adults. However, this has only been investigated using treadmill walking at a fixed walking speed.

Correlation Analysis between Rail Track Geometry and Car-Body Vibration Based on Fractal Theory
The effect of track geometry on vehicle vibration is a major concern in high-speed rail (HSR) operation from the perspectives of ride comfort and safety. However, how to quantitatively characterize the relation between them remains a problem to be solved
