Abstract

This article aims to obtain the dynamic elastic analysis of a steel tube tower for horizontal axis wind turbine using finite elements of bar (own code) and finite elements of bark and solids (modeling in ANSYS). For this, a theoretical foundation is presented that consists in the [...]

Abstract

A new alternative is presented for the estimation of modal mass, in order to scale the vibration modes obtained from operational modal analysis tests, using optimization techniques, in the frequency-independent proportional damping situation (structural or hysteretic), achieving [...]

Abstract

In many practical engineering applications there is the interaction of distinct domains, where coupling effects are important in assessing the structural response. A particular case is given by the interaction between a vibrating structure and a reservoir, with the latter conveniently [...]

Abstract

This paper shows a revision of the text Structural Dynamics Applied to the Seismic Design of Professor Luis Enrique García Reyes, from the Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia, in which the most relevant appraisals of its content are collected. Although it has [...]

Abstract

The investigation of modeling the time evolution of a folding wing during the morphing process and the dynamic characteristics analysis is carried out. The governing equations with uniform form are developed [...]

Abstract

The increasing need for High-Speed Railway (HSR) to reduce the travelling time requires increasing research within this field. Bridges are main components of any railway network, including HSR networks, and the optimization of their design for this purpose would contribute to a faster [...]

Abstract

At the state of art, current simulative methods modelling joint properties as fixed interaction between components or concentrate on the characterization of the joint stiffness and damping of coupled metallic structures. In the current work, the developed thin layer interaction (TLI) [...]
