An outlook since the study of the basic concepts of structural dynamics shows that changes in stiffness and mass properties cause changes in modal parameters (vibration

Abstract: The diversity in software used to support collaborative design and concurrent engineering requires the implementation of new technologies in order to ensure the

This is a vibrant exam- ple of such cases where fundamental mechanics is able to provide insight into the behavior of biological systems, a clear trend in recent research, which

This paper investigates the fundamentals of shape representation, shape processing and mining at a conceptual, geometric and computational level to address

In this paper, we present a comparison of a new Mahalanobis distance-based damage detection method with the well-known subspace-based damage detection algorithms

This source is implemented in a three-dimensional finite element model to compute heat flux and temperature fi elds.. The comparison between the experimental and numerical thermal

When I began teaching geotechnical engineering at ESTP I thought to teach like my higher education teachers did.. (1999).Like many young teachers (DEMOUGEOT-LEBEL

Experiments performed at INERIS showed that an explosion generating a 2 bar overpressure in an enclosure can induce a flame velocity on the order of 400 m/s in the connected duct
