This paper is on nonlinear dynamics of flexible conductors that interconnect equipment in
high-voltage substations. Such nonlinear dynamics play a role in the response of substation …

The seismic safety of electrical substations is significantly important for the resiliency of
regions prone to earthquakes since they are one of the main components of the power grids …

Abstract Model-in-the-loop (MIL) simulations, commonly referred to as real-time hybrid
simulations (RTHS) by earthquake engineers, involve physical testing of structures, systems …

The development of a six-axis load head based on the Stewart platform concept is described
in this paper. The intended application of the device is in quantifying terminal forces and …

This technical note presents a pair of formulas to rotate a unit vector to another unit vector
and compute the corresponding angular velocity. These formulas arose independently in …

A computational framework is developed for efficient simulation of slender components that
can be modeled as Kirchhoff rods. The work is motivated by the need to simulate highly …
