In this paper, an analytical dynamic model is proposed for vibration suppression of a multi-span continuous bridge by tuned mass dampers (TMDs). Firstly, the partial differential equations (PDEs) that govern the motion of the multi-span continuous bridge

Cracks weaken structures. When the crack size increases in service, the structure becomes weaker than its earlier condition. Lastly, the structure may break down due to a small crack.

T-shaped mode coupler for two-mode mode division multiplexing
We propose a novel type of mode coupler consisting of two identical rectangular few-mode waveguides with different orientations. Numerical simulation indicates that mode extinction ratio exceeding 20dB can be achieved by well-aligned waveguides.

Mode conversion via wavefront shaping
In recent years, wavefront shaping has been utilized to control and correct distorted light for enhancing a bright spot, generation of a Bessel beam or darkening a complete area at the output of a scattering system. All these outcomes can be thought of as enhancing a particular mode of the output field. In this letter, we study the relation between the
