In this paper, the nonlinear vibration of functionally graded (FGM) cylindrical shells subjected to radial harmonic excitation is investigated. The nonlinear formulation is based on a Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory, in which the geometric nonlinearity takes the form of von Karman strains. The Lagrange equations of motion were obtained by an energy approach. In order to reduce the syst...

This study targets the behavior of shear buildings equipped with tuned liquid column dampers (TLCD) which attenuate dynamic load-induced vibrations. TLCDs are a passive damping system used in tall buildings. This kind of damper has proven to be very efficient, being an excellent alternative to mass dampers. A dynamic analysis of the structure-damper system was made using the software DynaPy, de...

This paper analyzes necessity of synthesis control of power quality aiming at characteristics of traction power supply system for electrified railway. According to the fact that the existing power quality control, the measure and means were introduced, analyzed and compared in detailed. From reliability, technology and economy point, the project of synthesis Control was put forward on power qua...

Usually, harmonics are the base point when engineers start to analyze waveform distortion. Frequencies of these voltage and current waveforms are integer multipliers of the base frequency of power system (50 Hz or 60 Hz). If it is not the case then these are named as intermediate harmonics. The sinusoidal waveforms of voltage characterize the ideal power system with the highest clarity of base ...
