Mass proportional damping in nonlinear time-history analysis [PDF]

Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Material, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2015
Rayleigh damping is the main form in direct integral method for structural nonlinear dynamic analysis under seismic wave. As stiffness proportional damping usually should be neglected for its significant influence on limit time increment, reasonable mass proportional damping becomes more important in actual engineering.

Seismic Isolation Performance of Nuclear Power Plant Containment Structures

Buildings
Non-isolated structures have strong destructive effects and poor isolation effects when encountering earthquakes. Setting isolation bearings can prolong the natural vibration period of the structure, reduce the horizontal seismic response of the ...

Dynamic response analysis of truss bridges under the effect of moving vehicles

Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2022
With the characteristics of heavy and concentrated loads, the influence of moving loads on the dynamic response of the bridges is significant. Therefore, in this paper, the dynamic response of a large-scale truss bridge is studied to consider the effect ...

Decoherent histories analysis of models without time [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Physics, 2005
The decoherent histories approach is a particularly useful approach to quantum theory especially when time enters in a non-trivial way, or indeed, when there is no physical time coordinate at all, as is the case in quantum cosmology. Here, attempts to apply the decoherent histories approach to quantum cosmology are described.

Communication and Language Profiles of Children Treated for Posterior Fossa Brain Tumors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cognitive and language deficits are frequently reported sequelae of posterior fossa brain tumors (PFBT). Typically, delayed onset impedes prompt assessment and early intervention. This has devastating implications for quality of life.

Time to Tenure in Spanish Universities: An Event History Analysis

PLoS ONE, 2013
Understanding how institutional incentives and mechanisms for assigning recognition shape access to a permanent job is important. This study, based on data from questionnaire survey responses and publications of 1,257 university science, biomedical and engineering faculty in Spain, attempts to understand the timing of getting a permanent position and ...
