Many important electronic systems are modelled by discrete-time equations with nonlinearities that are discontinuous and piecewise-linear, often arising as a result of quantization. Approximations based on linearization ...
It is important that the assessment of bridges be as accurate as possible. Dynamic
amplification is one area in which the codes are sometimes overly conservative.
Bridge dynamics is well researched but the majority of ...
The paper considers the influence of the surface profile on the dynamic amplification of a simply supported bridge when subject to a quarter car vehicle model. The effect of the profile irregularities on the bridge dynamic ...
This paper presents the equations of motion for a general articulated road vehicle, with variable numbers of wheels for the tractor and trailer. The equations are applicable to vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction problems ...
More accurate assessment of safety can prevent unnecessary repair or replacement of existing bridges which in turn can result in great cost savings at network level. The allowance for dynamics is a significant component ...
Although many real world problems are dynamic in nature, the study of Genetic Programming in dynamic environments is still immature. This paper investigates the application of some recently proposed semantic-based crossover ...
Many authors, using both experimental tests and complex numerical models, have examined the effect of vehicle velocity on a highway bridge’s dynamic amplification. Although these tests and models give valuable quantitative ...
We study economic environments in which agents make choices on the basis of relative performance criteria and call the associated class of dynamic adjustment rules comparative dynamics. We distinguish two classes of learning ...
The effect of multiple vehicles on a bridge’s dynamic amplification is a complex problem. Previously authors have examined multiple vehicle presence by constructing elaborate finite element models or undertaking field ...
This paper develops a dynamic evolutionary model in which agents make choices on the basis of relative performance criteria. We distinguish two classes of learned behavior: imitative dynamics and a new class of dynamics, ...
