A framework for coupled structural and heat conduction finite element analysis is developed laminated high damping rubber bearings (HDRBs), analyses are conducted full-scale tests of an HDRB using the shaking table at E-Defense. An HDRB, which used in base-isolated buildings, modeled hexahedral solid elements. The as overlaid viscohyperelastic elastic-plastic constitutive model. However, materi...

according to high height and weak tensile strength of materials in minarets, it is necessary to study the structural behaviour of minarets under earthquake loading. therefore nine historical brick masonry minarets in isfahan have been modelled and analysed by applying the nonlinear finite element method for two cases: 1) the whole minaret, and 2) only the outer shell. results show that all mina...

The aim of this short note is twofold. First, we give a sketch of the proof of a recent result proved by the authors in the paper [7] concerning existence and uniqueness of renormalized solutions of continuity equations with unbounded damping coe cient. Second, we show how the ideas in [7] can be used to provide an alternative proof of the result in [6, 9, 12], where the usual requirement of bo...
