Study on the influence of base shear distribution on the seismic response of base-isolated split-foundation structures by Yangyang Tang, Baolong Jiang, Yingmin Li, Shuyan Ji

“…Moreover, when the base shear ratio βz exceeds 0.5, the distribution of plastic hinges is significantly affected by the variations in Φ. Additionally, the story shear and story drift ratio of lower stories in the along-slope direction are generally greater than that of the corresponding story of the non-isolated structure. …”

Evaluation of the Occurrence of Initial Failures from Stress Concentrators in Welded Joints and Structural Elements by K. А. Molokov, V. V. Novikov, M. Dabalez

“…Data on the occurrence of initial failures obtained through testing on standard samples cannot always be extrapolated to real welded joints and structures. This is due to the difference between the concentrators in the joints, because after welding there is a significant structural and mechanical heterogeneity of the heat-affected and stress concentrator zone. …”

A Numerical Approach to Calculate the Radiation Efficiency of Baffled Planar Structures Using the Far Field by Mario A. GONZÁLEZ-MONTENEGRO, Roberto JORDAN, Arcanjo LENZI, Jorge P. ARENAS

“…On the other hand, few works exist in which the calculation is done in the far field from near field data by the use of radiation matrices, possibly because the numerical integration becomes complicated and expensive due to large variations of directivity of the source. In this work a different approach is used, based in the so-called Propagating Matrix, which is useful for calculating the sound pressure of an arbitrary number of points into free space, and it can be employed to estimate the sound power by integrating over a finite number of pressure points over a hemispherical surface surrounding the vibrating structure. …”
