Probabilistic structural analysis of adaptive/smart/intelligent space structures [PDF]

open access: yes
A three-bay, space, cantilever truss is probabilistically evaluated for adaptive/smart/intelligent behavior. For each behavior, the scatter (ranges) in buckling loads, vibration frequencies, and member axial forces are probabilistically determined ...

Exterior Noise Due to Interaction of Tire-Thermoplastic Transverse Rumble Strips

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Transverse rumble strips (TRS) are a common choice to reduce vehicle speed and increase driver alertness on roadways. However, there is a potential trade-off using them on rural roadway due to the noise problem created when vehicles go over the strips ...
