A measure for seismic multiple bends and shear damage patterns of RC rigid-frame bridge tall piers
Reinforced concrete (RC) rigid-frame bridges with tall hollow piers were widely constructed in Southwestern China, an earthquake-prone area. For such bridges, the seismic damages may be underestimated if multi...

Optimization of Surface Roughness in Laser Cutting Process of Mild Steel Using RSM and GA Method
In the laser cutting process, cutting parameters play a crucial role in determining the quality of the cut surface. In this study, a fiber laser machine was used to cut mild steel S355 with a thickness of 12 m...

Open AccessVibration mitigation of an MDoF system subjected to stochastic loading by means of hysteretic nonlinear locally resonant metamaterials
In this paper, we intend to mitigate absolute accelerations and displacements in the low-frequency regime of multiple-degrees-of-freedom fuel storage tanks subjected to stochastic seismic excitations. Therefor...
