A novel design of a two-stage nonlinear vibration isolation system, with each stage having a high-static-low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS), is studied experimentally in this paper. The positive stiffness in each stage is ...

The design of the techniques and algorithms used by the static, dynamic and interactive security testing tools differ. Therefore, each tool detects to a greater or lesser extent each type of vulnerability for which they ...

To guarantee the quality of the software, static and dynamic analysis techniques can be used. Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used together to improve the quality of the results obtained. In this work, ...

Two competing hypotheses have been suggested to explain thermal sensitivity of lizards to environmental conditions. These are the static and the labile hypotheses. The static hypothesis posits that thermal physiology is ...

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the detection of a defect in steel plates based on an optimisation algorithm using small amplitude homogenisation. In a first approximation using numerical ...

In this study, the effect of the presence of broken wires (damage) asymmetrically distributed on metallic strands surfaces on their static response is assessed. To this end, a general mechanical model for multilayered ...

Static var Compensator (SVC) has a general topology and its operational principle allows its application with distinct compensation purposes, such as voltage regulation or load balancing. Thus, this paper presents the ...
