Prediction of structural response for low velocity impact on flexible structures is important for
the selection of an appropriate impact model. This paper considers a new modeling of an …

This work is concerned with the characteristics of the impact force produced when two
randomly vibrating elastic bodies collide with each other, or when a single randomly …

Review of past earthquake damage shows that pounding of adjacent structures during
earthquakes is a frequent phenomenon and an important cause of damage. Treatment of …

[en] A project is being carried out to investigate the response of bonded prestressed
concrete slabs to hard impact. Test slabs are 1.5 m square and the impact is applied by …

An experimental method is investigated whereby the strain response from an impacted
beam is sufficient to determine the contacting force. Once the force is known, it is shown how …

ABSTRACT Buzz, Squeak and Rattle (BSR) are acoustically perceived quality attributes that
consistently rank among the top" things gone wrong" in initial quality surveys for many new …

The impact duration between two structures is not easy to forecast. Indeed it depends on
many parameters including local parameters as well as structural parameters which …

The impact between bridge decks and abutments has been the source of extensive damage
to highway bridges during the 1971 San Fernando and other recent earthquakes. In this …
