...Adel Younis; Onur Avci; Mohammed Hussein; Brad Davis; Paul Reynolds With the use of lighter construction materials, more slender architectural designs, and open floor plans resulting in low damping, vibration serviceability has become a dominant design criterion for structural engineers worldwide...

... physics driving ventilation and its impact upon the hydrodynamic and structural response, and (2) discuss the scaling relations and its implications on the design and interpretation of reduced-scale studies. Natural ventilation occurs when the flow around a body forms a cavity that is open to the free...

...Suvonkar Chakroborty; Rana Roy In view of the stronger vulnerability of horizontally irregular structures during earthquakes, numerous studies have been made since mid-1950 s. Unfortunately, research progress in this subject does not appear encouraging. This is evident from the current wisdom...

...Samir A. Emam; Daniel J. Inman Bistable composite laminates have received a considerable attention due to their fabulous behavior and potential for morphing and energy harvesting. A bistable or multistable laminate is a type of composite structure that exhibits multiple stable static configurations...

...Giuseppe Rega; Stefano Lenci The achievements occurred in nonlinear dynamics over the last 30 years entail a substantial change of perspective when dealing with vibration problems, since they are now deemed ready to meaningfully affect the analysis, control, and design of mechanical and structural...

..., the element connectivity is performed by using kinematic and static conditions, so that displacements and stresses are continuous across the element boundaries. Numerical investigations integrate this survey by giving details on the subject. Computational mechanics Dynamics Elasticity Structures...
