Real-time control of next-generation active structures that experience unmodeled high-rate
dynamic events require an up-to-date numerical model of the structural system. Examples of …

We study stress-wave propagation in an impulsively forced split Hopkinson bar system
incorporating a threaded interface. We first consider only primary transmission and reflection …

Maintaining effective preload in bolted joints is critical for ensuring long-term performance
and safety throughout the operation of any assembled structure, vehicle, or machine. The …

Maintaining preload in bolted joints is critical for the safe and efficient operation of nearly all
built-up structures. Dynamic loss of preload during operation occurs when sufficient shear …

Many structures are subjected to varying forces, moving boundaries, and other dynamic
conditions. Whether part of a vehicle, building, or active energy mitigation device, data on …

Maintaining effective preload in bolted joints is critical for ensuring long-term performance
and safety throughout the operation of any assembled structure. The loosening of bolted …

Many structural systems, such as aircraft, orbital infrastructure, and energy harvesting
devices, experience dynamic forces along with changing structural boundary conditions …

High-rate monitoring, condition assessment, and control of structural systems experiencing
high-rate dynamics is challenging due to these structures experiencing events of timescales …

We study stress wave propagation in two impulsively forced split Hopkinson bar systems:
one with a prestressed interface and one with a frictional interface. We first consider only …
