Existence results for a two point boundary value problem involving a fourth-order equation [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2015
We study the existence of non-zero solutions for a fourth-order differential equation with nonlinear boundary conditions which models beams on elastic foundations. The approach is based on variational methods. Some applications are illustrated.

Elastic Foundation Displacement Approximations

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2019
Interaction of an elastic foundation and structures like beams, plates and frames plays an essential role in investigating soil media in contact and impact mechanics. The solution to this interaction problem is complicated even the foundation is assumed as a linear elastic medium. E.

Quantifying Joint Congruence With an Elastic Foundation

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2022
Abstract The level of congruence between the articulating surfaces of a diarthrodial joint can vary substantially between individuals. Quantifying joint congruence using the most widespread metric, the “congruence index,” is not straightforward: the areas of the segmented bone that constitute the articular surfaces require accurate ...

Statistical distributions in the folding of elastic structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The behaviour of elastic structures undergoing large deformations is the result of the competition between confining conditions, self-avoidance and elasticity. This combination of multiple phenomena creates a geometrical frustration that leads to complex

Rainfall-induced differential settlements of foundations on heterogeneous unsaturated soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This study stochastically investigates the rainfall-induced differential settlement of a centrally loaded, rigid strip foundation on an unsaturated soil with spatially varying values of either preconsolidation stress or porosity.

Interaction of piled foundation with a rupturing normal fault [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Post-seismic observations in the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey have indicated that piled foundations may be less suitable than stiff mat foundations in defending a structure against a major normal fault rupturing underneath.

Closed-form solutions to investigate the nonlinear response of foundations supporting operating machines under blast loads

open access: yesJournal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control, 2023
Machine foundations are subjected to significant dynamic impacts. These impacts could spread to the surrounding regions, affecting workers, sensitive equipment in the same institution, or nearby areas.

Comparative dynamic analysis of axially loaded beams on modified Vlasov foundation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Vibration analysis of the beams on elastic foundation has gained the great interest of many researchers. In the literature, there are many studies that focus on the free vibration analysis of the beams on one or two parameter elastic foundations.
