Today, an important challenge for offshore wind energy is to design efficient and reliable
offshore wind turbines (OWTs). The overall damping of OWTs plays an important role in the …

This research comprises an in-depth review of monopile foundations for offshore wind
turbines under monotonic and cyclic loads. The review study was complemented with …

In the paper, a novel passive vibration isolator is proposed for an ultra-precision sensing
system, utilizing a quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) mechanism. The QZS mechanism implements …

The nonlinear vibration analysis of a directly excited cantilever beam modeled as an
inextensible viscoelastic Euler–Bernoulli beam has been studied by the authors and is …

The underground energy storage in salt rock is of great strategic significance for ensuring
the national energy safety and economic development. Due to the complex geological …

A full visco-elastic non-linear beam with cubic non-linearities is considered, and the
governing equations of motion of the system for large amplitude vibrations are derived. By …

Viscoelastic damper (VED) is one of the most effective velocity dampers, which can provide
equivalent stiffness and damping for structures. The stability of the damper is an important …

Existing numerical models for simulating the pile behaviours in high-strain dynamic load
tests (DLTs) cannot account for the wave propagation in base soil. This paper proposes a …

The paper presents a comparative study of Bouc–Wen and Ramberg–Osgood hysteresis
models with application to seismic protection of buildings with bracing devices. In order to …

In this paper, a bimaterial composite consists of a stiff 3D printed frame and a soft
viscoelastic foam is investigated for impact protection applications. Samples of the base …
