Abstract “Treet” is a 14-storey timber apartment building in Norway currently under
construction. Ground works started in April 2014, and the residents can move in autumn of …

The damping characteristics of composite laminates made of Hexply 8552 AGP 280-5H
(fabric), used for structural elements in aeronautical vehicles, have been investigated in …

This study presents the dynamic identification of cross-laminated timber (CLT) residential
buildings and the corresponding finite element model calibration of connection stiffness in …

Hybrid timber composites are becoming increasingly widespread to efficiently enhance
timber performance. While carbon fibre reinforcement has been explored for strength in …

Dynamic properties of two timber floor specimens are experimentally evaluated by the
impact method. Each specimen uses one specified type of connectors, either screws or …

Recent developments in the aerospace industry have driven focus toward accurately
modeling the effects of the cables and electronic cords on space structures. In the past …

We study free and harmonically forced vibrations of an Euler-Bernoulli beam with rate-
independent hysteretic dissipation. The dissipation follows a model proposed elsewhere for …

The free vibration responses are divergent based on a complex time-domain damping
model. The traditional step by step integration method cannot be used to calculate the time …

Damping in vibrating structures is much less understood than their stiffness and inertial
properties and in timber structures it is even less understood how damping is generated in …

This study aims at introduction of a novel method for evaluating the effect of viscous
damping on the aeroelastic stability boundaries. The K-method is well-known for being one …
