New expressions to estimate damping in direct displacement baseddesign for special concentrically-braced frames [PDF]

open access: yesNumerical Methods in Civil Engineering, 2015
Different expressions have been developed to determine damping of structures based on various hysteretic models and ductility levels. Since Slenderness ratio is an important parameter on the hysteretic behavior of special concentrically- braced frames ...

Methods for estimating hysteretic behavior and vibration responses of a timing belt tensioner

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
An automatic tensioner that consists of a torsional spring and friction damping elements is widely used in belt drive system. The relation of the applied torque versus the imposed angle of tensioner during loading and unloading processes is described as ...

XFEM-Based Multiscale Simulation on Monotonic and Hysteretic Behavior of Reinforced-Concrete Columns

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
The extended finite element method (XFEM) is efficient in simulating crack initiation and its evolution process for reinforced-concrete (RC) structures due to its ability to solve fracture problems.

Hysteretic Behavior of Moment-Resisting Frames Considering Slab Restraint and Framing Action

open access: yes, 2020
This paper examines the influence of framing action and slab continuity on the hysteretic behavior of composite steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) by means of high-fidelity continuum fini...

Current-biased Andreev interferometer

open access: yes, 2013
We theoretically investigate the behavior of Andreev interferometers with three superconducting electrodes in the current-biased regime. Our analysis allows to predict a number of interesting features of such devices, such as both hysteretic and non ...

Investigation on the hysteretic performance of tubular lead-column laminated rubber damper

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment
IntroductionTo improve the engineering applicability of lead-core dampers and enhance their self-centering performance, the tubular lead-column laminated rubber damper (TL-CLRD) is proposed.MethodsFirst, considering the confined behavior of lead ...

Local Ferroelectricity in SrTiO_3 Thin Films

open access: yes, 2002
The temperature-dependent polarization of SrTiO_3 thin films is investigated using confocal scanning optical microscopy. A homogeneous out-of-plane and inhomogeneous in-plane ferroelectric phase are identified from images of the linear electrooptic ...

Hysteresis from dynamically pinned sliding states [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We report a surprising hysteretic behavior in the dynamics of a simple one-dimensional nonlinear model inspired by the tribological problem of two sliding surfaces with a thin solid lubricant layer in between.
