Dynamic simulation of semi-active suspension systems for durability analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The benefits of vehicles with semi-active suspension systems have been widely accepted, mainly for improvement in ride and handling, over the passive system.

Collusion and Durability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We develop a model to show that cartels that produce goods with lower durability are easier to sustain implicitly. This observation gen- erates the following results: 1) implicit cartels have an incentive to pro- duce goods with an inefficiently low ...

Homogenization in strength and durability analysis of reinforced tooth filling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
An asymptotic homogenization procedure is employed to obtain effective elastic properties of the composite tooth filling, a homogenized macro– stress field and a first approximation to the micro-stress field, from properties of the components and applied

Theoretical backgrounds of durability analysis by normalized equivalent stress functionals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Generalized durability diagrams and their properties are considered for a material under a multiaxial loading given by an arbitrary function of time. Material strength and durability under such loading are described in terms of durability, safety factor ...

Carbonation and Chloride Ions’ Penetration of Alkali-Activated Materials: A Review

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are widely recognized as potential alternatives to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) due to their lower carbon footprint.

Design of a Random Decrement Method Based Structural Health Monitoring System

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2012
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has reached a high importance in numerous fields of civil and mechanical engineering. Promising damage detection approaches like the Damage Index Method, Gapped Smoothing Technique and Modal Strain Energy Method require

Monopoly Distortions in Durability and Multi-Dimensional Quality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
I show that Swan’s (1970) independence result requires a multiplicative interaction between durability and all other quality attributes. Because there is no compelling argument for a multiplicativity in quality, monopolists tend to distort durability ...

Output-Only Damage Detection of Shear Building Structures Using an Autoregressive Model-Enhanced Optimal Subpattern Assignment Metric

open access: yesSensors, 2020
This paper proposes a novel output-only structural damage indicator by incorporating the pole-based optimal subpattern assignment distance with autoregressive models to localize and relatively assess the severity of damages for sheared structures ...

Vibration reduction on circular saw blades with vibroacoustic metamaterials [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences: Technical Sciences, 2023
The presented work focuses on the experimental investigation of a vibroacoustic metamaterial integrated into a spinning circular saw blade. Vibroacoustic metamaterials are a novel technology for broadband vibration reduction. Built from an array of local

Measures of Durability of Resistance [PDF]

open access: yesPhytopathology®, 2003
Conventional models for the durability of resistant cultivars focus on the dynamics of the frequency of resistance genes. This leads to a definition of the durability of resistance as the time from introduction of the cultivar to the time when the frequency of the virulence gene reaches a preset threshold.
