Double-beam systems consist of two parallel beams coupled through elastic or viscoelastic interfaces, springs or dampers. They serve as fundamental models for a wide range of engineering structures, ...

Dynamic stiffness analysis provides a frequency-dependent characterisation of structural rigidity by establishing exact relationships between forces and displacements in vibrating systems. Unlike ...

Most people assume bridges move only during strong winds or earthquakes. However, some famous bridges around the world have been known to sway, wobble, or vibrate even on calm days. The reasons range ...

Applying vibration modelling in gas turbines to fault monitoring of the same equipment can assist maintenance planning and extend system life. Bearings are responsible for vibratory phenomena in gas ...
