Accuracy Assessment of Nonlinear Seismic Displacement Demand Predicted by Simplified Methods for the Plateau Range of Design Response Spectra

The non-linear seismic displacement demand prediction for low-period structures, i.e. with an initial fundamental period situated in the plateau of design response spectra is studied. In Eurocode 8, the computation of seismic displacement demands is essent ...

Structural response of French offshore heritage lighthouses

Emmanuel Denarié

Offshore lighthouses are a remarkable historical heritage often over 100 years old. The management of their ageing is a challenge and requires a thorough understanding of their structural response under wave loading. With this aim in view, the dynamic resp ...

A practical method for seismic retrofit of tall buildings with supplemental damping

Dimitrios Lignos

Current simplified design methods for buildings with supplemental damping devices are mainly based on single-degreefreedom (SDF) shear-models. Common errors of such methods are attributed to the linearization of nonlinear damping and stiffness, higher buil ...

Acoustic Actuation Of Suspended Graphene For Linear Excitation Of 2D Nems

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Muhammad Faizan, Marsha Mary Parmar

In this paper, we present the fabrication of on-chip piezoelectric acoustic actuation for 2D materials. Acoustic actuation is achieved at device level through patterning of aluminum nitride (AlN) thin film at wafer scale. Two piezoelectric stacks consistin ...

Current Overshoots and Undershoots in Electrical Stimulation: A Circuit-level Perspective of the Origin and Solutions

Alexandre Schmid, Reza Ranjandish

This paper investigates a common phenomenon in current mode stimulation which is known as current overshoots and undershoots. The origin of these abnormalities in the current pulses has remained an open issue and these overshoots and undershoots have been ...

Theoretical framework to analyze the combined effect of surface tension and viscosity on the damping rate of sloshing waves

François Gallaire, Francesco Viola

Gravity force, surface tension, oscillating boundary layers, viscous dissipation, static meniscus, contact angle hysteresis, and moving contact lines are typical features of sloshing dynamics. All these ingredients influence capillary-gravity waves in a co ...

Dynamic pressure probe response tests for robust measurements in periodic flows close to probe resonating frequency

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Fatma Ceyhun Sahin

A single-hole probe was designed to measure steady and periodic flows with high fluctuation amplitudes and with minimal flow intrusion. Because of its high aspect ratio, estimations showed that the probe resonates at a frequency two orders of magnitude low ...

Evidence for structural damping in a high-stress silicon nitride nanobeam and its implications for quantum optomechanics

Tobias Kippenberg, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Sergey Fedorov, Ryan Daniel Schilling, Vivishek Sudhir, Hendrik Schütz

We resolve the thermal motion of a high-stress silicon nitride nanobeam at frequencies far below its fundamental flexural resonance (3.4 MHz) using cavity-enhanced optical interferometry. Over two decades, the displacement spectrum is well-modeled by that ...

Effect of damping models on the simulation of seismic axial forces in a reinforced concrete bridge pier

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Manuel Jordan

Post-reconnaissance findings after recent earthquakes have shown that the effect of the vertical acceleration component of the ground motion can be more damaging than typically considered thus far, particularly in near-field regions where the ratio of vert ...

Guidelines on nonlinear dynamic analysis for seismic design of steel moment frames

Dimitrios Lignos

Nonlinear dynamic (response history) analysis is being used increasingly in design practice for the performance-based seismic design of buildings. In contrast to nonlinear static analysis, dynamic analyses require more explicit modeling of cyclic response ...
