In this work, the effects of crack depth and crack location on the in-plane free vibration,
buckling and dynamic stability of cracked frame structures have been investigated …

In the first part of this paper, elastostatic stability of cracked conservative flanged concrete
beam-columns has been analyzed. Using the derived expression for the lateral stiffness …

Here Fundamental Frequency is the main factor used to calculate the vibration of a vehicle
when passing across a bridge. With knowledge of the fundamental frequency, bridges can …

An analytical model based on a nonlinear deflection equation and the Reynolds equation is
proposed to describe the dynamic behavior of an electrically actuated micro-beam with two …

Structural defects such as cracks are the source of local flexibilities and cause deficiencies
in structural resistance. In the engineering constructions, structural elements sometimes are …

Of late, the attention of the dynamicists has increasingly been focused on the multi-degree of
freedom (MDOF) nonlinear dynamical systems. In the present paper, a new class of …

Investigated herein are the dynamic responses of three different single degree of freedom
(SDOF) bilinear dynamical models of a cracked concrete beam subjected to the El Centro …

When structures are subjected to dynamic types of loads, cracks are fairly consistent. Under
dynamic loads, such structures exhibit nonlinear and inelastic behaviour. If a suitable load …

In this two-part paper, a new class-first order homogeneous dynamical (FOHD) systems-of
two-DOF conservative nonlinear dynamical systems has been explored. Theoretical …

When subjected to time-dependent dynamic loading, concrete structures possess tension
cracks. Such existing internal cracks have a breathing action (opening-closing-reopening) …
