The numerical calculation method based on equivalent frequency-independent time-domain damping model
In order to realize the time-domain analysis based on hysteretic damping model, the frequency-independent time-domain damping model of single degree of freedom (SDOF) system is constructed.

Abstract Tropical forests in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) harbor around one‐third of the world's species but are becoming more fragmented due to the expansion of human settlements and small‐scale agricultural (SCA) areas. This study systematically reviewed the approaches and methods used to analyze forest fragmentation and its impact on biodiversity in SSA,

For the nonlinear vibration problem of spur gear transmission system caused by friction and gear backlash, the dynamic model of gearbox with 16-degree-of-freedom (16-DOF) considering time-varying meshing stiffness is established by Lagrange equation. The

A Finite Volume Method for Elastic Waves in Heterogeneous, Anisotropic and Fractured Media
Numerical modeling of elastic wave propagation in the subsurface requires applicability to heterogeneous, anisotropic and discontinuous media, as well as support of free surface boundary conditions.

ABSTRACT The rapid development of new railway networks and the aging of existing infrastructure in seismic‐prone regions continue to motivate the need for efficient methods to simulate the dynamic behavior of coupled train track structure systems. While detailed train–structure interaction (TSI) models can capture complex mechanisms, they are often too

Tree planting, natural colonisation, hybrid approaches: Land manager decisions explored
Abstract There is a global drive to protect biodiversity and help combat climate change. In the UK, this is expressed in a number of policy initiatives and tools that include increasing tree cover as an important nature‐based solution to achieving national policy targets.

A link between increased temperature and avian body condition in a logged tropical forest
Abstract The combined effects of anthropogenic disturbances, such as logging and climate change, remain poorly understood; yet, they are the main threats to tropical biodiversity. Most tropical African countries lack long‐term climate data, so climate impacts on biodiversity cannot be assessed.

Considering the lack of studies on the transient vibro-acoustic properties of conical shell structures, a Jacobi–Ritz boundary element method for forced vibro-acoustic behaviors of structure is proposed based on the Newmark-β integral method and the ...
