The literature about the asymptotic numerical method (ANM) is reviewed in this paper as
well as its application to hyperelasticity and elastoplasticity. ANM is a generic continuation …

This paper presents the dynamic behavior of a sandwich circular cylindrical shell with a
constrained fractional viscoelastic layer. Based on the Donnell-Moshtari theory, the …

Accidents involving coaches may endanger the physical integrity of their occupants, since
the driver stands very close to the collision region. In the event of a frontal impact, there is a …

Embedded NiTiNOL-steel wire ropes are proposed as a nonlinear damper for a composite
laminated cylindrical shell. Its dynamic responses to axial harmonic excitations are analyzed …

The vibration characteristics, including fundamental frequencies and loss factors, of a
sandwich conical shell with constrained viscoelastic layer is presented. The mechanical …

The dynamics of the cylindrical shell with partial constraining layer damping are discussed
in this paper (PCLD). The developed model includes the harmonic and transient regimes. In …

Probabilistic engineering mechanics aims to take into account uncertainties of input
parameters of models and evaluating their impact onto the model responses. For frequency …

In this paper, a mathematical procedure is elaborated based on large deformation, finite
element and perturbation methods for thermo-large amplitude analysis of anisotropic …

The transportation industry focuses on reducing vehicle weight for fuel economy and
emissions. This emphasis promotes the use of coaches, which raises concerns about …

Attaching viscoelastic materials (VEMs) to structures has been widely used to improve
structural dynamic properties. Nevertheless, the adhesion of VEMs inevitably leads to the …
