Structural modification based analysis and design of tuned mass dampers
(2018)
This article discusses the design of tuned vibration absorber for structures. A central notion in the identification of the parameters of a tuned mass damper (TMD) absorber for MDOF systems is that of modal mass of the ...
Linking local-climate-zones mapping to multi-resolution-analysis to deduce associative relations at intra-urban scales through an example of Metropolitan London
(2019)
In this paper, we propose a systematic approach that translates geographically-based information data, into complete versatile gridded numerical information for use in comparative data analyses and atmospheric or other ...
Linking the urban-scale building energy demands with city breathability and urban form characteristics
(2019)
In this paper we examine the energy demands required for building heating and cooling over a real urban area and how these relate to urban microclimatic parameters
Identification of hysteretic systems using the differential evolution algorithm
(2001)
A widely used model in the field of hysteretic or memory-dependent vibrations is that of Bouc and Wen. Different parameter values extend its use to various areas of mechanical vibrations. As a consequence an identification ...
Differential evolution based identification of automotive hydraulic engine mount model parameters
(2000)
Hydraulic engine mounts are commonly used in an automotive applications, and numerical models exist for performing full-vehicle noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) studies by means of multibody simulation. The parameters ...
Stochastic control for nanoparticle manipulation using electric fields
(2018)
A simplified model is used to study the dynamics of a nanoparticle suspended in a fluid under Dielectrophoretic (DEP) force. The model considers the DEP force (considering only dipoles formed and not higher order polarisation) ...
Structural modification. Part 1: Rotational receptances
(2005)
The inverse problem of assigning natural frequencies and antiresonances by a modification to the stiffness, mass and damping of a structure is addressed. Very simple modifications such as the addition of masses and grounded ...
Measurement of liquid crystal film thickness using interferometry
(2010)
Thickness measurements of thin films having thickness less than 1 µm are difficult to obtain by an interferometer. These difficulties arise from the overlap of the fringes from the upper and lower surfaces of the thin ...
