Nano and viscoelastic Beck's column on elastic foundation

open access: yes, 2014
Beck's type column on Winkler type foundation is the subject of the present analysis. Instead of the Bernoulli-Euler model describing the rod, two generalized models will be adopted: Eringen non-local model corresponding to nano-rods and viscoelastic ...

A Conversation With David Bellhouse

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary David Richard Bellhouse was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on 19 July 1948. He studied actuarial mathematics and statistics at the University of Manitoba (BA, 1970; MA, 1972) and completed his PhD at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, in 1975. After being an Assistant Professor for 1 year at his alma mater, he joined the University of Western ...

Random Vibration of Space Shuttle Weather Protection Systems

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 1995
The article deals with random vibrations of the space shuttle weather protection systems. The excitation model represents a fit to the measured experimental data. The cross-spectral density is given as a convex combination of three exponential functions.

From gateway to value ladder—The curious case of online mutual aid in China

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines how InsurTech‐enabled information provision, specifically the disclosure of claimant information previously unavailable in conventional insurance, influences individuals' insurance uptake. We leverage Mutual Aid (MA) platforms as a natural context to examine how socially framed loss information, peer influence, and salience

Approximation techniques for parameter estimation and feedback control for distributed models of large flexible structures [PDF]

open access: yes
Approximation ideas are discussed that can be used in parameter estimation and feedback control for Euler-Bernoulli models of elastic systems. Focusing on parameter estimation problems, ways by which one can obtain convergence results for cubic spline ...

Size-independent Young's modulus of inverted conical GaAs nanowire resonators

open access: yes, 2013
We explore mechanical properties of top down fabricated, singly clamped inverted conical GaAs nanowires. Combining nanowire lengths of 2-9 $\mu$m with foot diameters of 36-935 nm yields fundamental flexural eigenmodes spanning two orders of magnitude ...

An Explicit, Compact, and Rotation‐Agnostic Formulation for Equivalent Nodal Loads for Point‐Loaded Beams

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
ABSTRACT In time‐marching dynamical simulations, treatment of contact forces in deformable bodies represented by finite element meshes requires a compromise between simulation fidelity and computational costs. External forces directly evaluated at the mesh nodes offer better computational performance at the cost of modelling fidelity.

The Shear Effect of Large-Diameter Piles under Different Lateral Loading Levels: The Transfer Matrix Method

open access: yesBuildings
In various analytical models, modeling the behavior of large-diameter monopiles and piles can be challenging due to these foundations with huge body sizes carrying mechanisms of lateral loads to the surrounding soils.

Free vibration analysis of angle-ply laminate composite beams by mixed finite element formulation using the Gâteaux differential

open access: yesScience and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2014
Free vibration analyses of angle-ply laminated composite beams were investigated by the Gâteaux differential method in the present paper. With the use of the Gâteaux differential method, the functionals were obtained and the natural frequencies of the ...
