Many real dynamical systems have well-defined nonlinear static characteristic curves. The system gain is, in general, determined by such curvesand varies both with the operating point and in time. The main objective of ...

An adaptive algorithm for on-line estimation of physical coefficients of cables in viscous environment is presented. The procedure is useful for obtaining cable characteristics, which are needed in stability analysis and ...

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of different dynamic and static approaches for assessing building performance under sequential earthquakes and tsunami. A 10-storey reinforced concrete seismically designed ...

In this investigation, the elasto-plastic behavior and the seismic performance of concrete reinforced frame structures reinforced are evaluated by applying the Pushover method. This evaluation is done on several cases: ...

Considering the static solutions of the D-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation with trap and attractive two-body interactions, the existence of stable solutions is limited to a maximum critical number of particles, ...

Ao contrário das diretrizes de projeto para outros tipos de solicitações, o dimensionamento de edifícios a ações sísmicas admite que a estrutura possa deformar-se além de seu limite elástico. Assim, a capacidade de ...

Structural masonry buildings have become getting more common in Brazil, especially in buildings, of increasing heights, participating in government funding programs. Considering this context, the objective of this work ...

En la presente investigación se realizará el análisis y diseño estructural de una torre de 40 pisos y 4 sótanos de concreto armado siguiendo normas peruanas y el cálculo de desempeño sísmico en el distrito de Santiago de ...

Students, researchers, and practicing engineers regularly use mathematical models to evaluate the seismic behavior of structures. Advances in the capacity of computer storage capacity and processing speed have allowed these ...
