The objective of this study was to examine the seismic behavior of steel buildings equipped with linear and nonlinear viscous dampers that may exhibit variable capacity. More specifically, nonlinear time history analyses were conducted on two three-d...
To cut a clod of soil containing the roots of trees in nurseries, a semi-circular vibrating blade digging machine with diameters up to 1.2 m is increasingly used. The heart of the machine is the mechanical oscillator that produces an excitation torqu...
This paper is the first to offer a digital-twin of the Energy Rebound Testing Device, which is specified by the National Collegiate Athletic Association for the sport of basketball. This digital-twin replicates the physical ERTD, which was previously...
Based on a reduced model of a linear section of a steel gas pipeline between four supports and with a crack-like through defect, ANSYS FE software is used in this study to develop numerical approaches regarding three key parameters of a composite ban...
This paper proposes a unified reliability analysis framework for mechanical and structural systems equipped with Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs), encompassing single-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF), two-degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF), and ten-degrees-of-freedom (10-...
To quantify the effect of frequency-range-specific hand–arm vibration (FRS-HAV) exposure on the risk of musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb (UMSDs), we performed an analysis among the study sample of the German Hand–Arm Vibration...
In many tasks of railway vibration, the structure, that is, the track, a bridge, and a nearby building and its floors, is coupled to the soil, and the soil–structure interaction and the damping by the soil should be included in the analysis to...
Flexure-based Stirling cryocooler compressors are a critical technology in providing cryogenic temperatures in various advanced engineering fields, such as aerospace, defense, and medical imaging. The most challenging problem in the design of this ty...
In mechanical engineering, the building industry, and many other branches of industry, vibration machines are widely used, in which circular and directed oscillations predominate in the form of movement of the working equipment. This article examines...
Different additive manufacturing modalities enable the production of multi-material components which can be used in a wide range of industrial applications. The prediction of the mechanical properties of these components via finite element modelling...
This paper examines the performance of Bayesian filtering system identification in the context of nonlinear structural and mechanical systems. The objective is to assess the accuracy and limitations of the four most well-established filtering-based p...
