in this paper, seismic behavior of the existing buildings equipped by friction dampers is studied. seismic performance of6-story, 9-story and 12-story steel buildings with damper and without damper were studied. the finite element modeling technique (sap2000 software) is used for analysis. time history analyzing was done to achieve this purpose. for nonlinear dynamic analysis, the responses of ...

progressive collapse is defined as the spread of an initial failure from element to element, eventually resulting in the collapse of an entire structure or a disproportionately large part of it. the current progressive collapse analyses and design methods in guidelines and codes focus on the alternate load path method. this method is suitable especially in the case of blast-induced progressive ...

We consider the problem of dynamic load balancing in arbitrary (connected) networks on n nodes. Our load generation model is such that during each round, n tasks are generated on arbitrary nodes, and then (possibly after some balancing) one task is deleted from every nonempty node. Notice that this model fully saturates the resources of the network in the sense that we generate just as many new...

This paper presents an improved direct dimension exchange method (DDE) for synchronous load balancing for k-ary n-cube multicom-puters. The new method is based on the improved DEM for hypercube. The original DEM when extended to the k-ary n-cube requires many iterations in exchanging loads between neighboring nodes to converge to a balanced state. The original DDE does not requires iteratively ...

although bearing capacity of footings on top of slopes under monotonic loadings have been investigated widely so far, safety and bearing capacity of these structures against repeated dynamic loads have not been considered well enough. in this paper, lower bound dynamic shakedown theorem in its numerical form has been employed to firstly obtain bearing capacity of strip footings on top of slopes...

The use of intelligent nanocomposites in sensing and actuation applications has become quite common over the past decade. In this article, electro-thermo-mechanical nonlinear dynamic buckling of an orthotropic piezoelectric nanocomposite (PNC) cylindrical shell conveying viscous fluid is investigated. The composite cylindrical shell is made from Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) and reinforced by ...
