the present study utilizes an analytical method to formulate the three lowest modal frequencies of axially-loaded notched beam through both crack location and load level in a specific format that can be used in existing frequency-based crack-identification methods. the proposed formula provides a basis to shift into two states, one with axial loading and the other without any loading whatsoever...

This paper presents the theoretical design and analysis of a tunable Fabry–Perot resonant microcavity filter realized by movable-waveguide-based integrated optical MEMS technology in InP. Wide-bandwidth, high-reflectivity horizontal InP/air-gap distributed bragg reflector (DBR) mirrors monolithically integrated with the waveguides have been proposed. The filter can be tuned by moving one of the...

Railway structures are one of the most important structures in transportation. So the lack of precise study of their dynamic behavior leads to irreparable damages. The significant factors contributing to the accurate analysis of the dynamic behavior of railways are the type of load and foundation used in it. In this study, an Euler-Bernoulli beam subjected to a moving load on a finite depth fou...

Abstract This comprehensive review primarily concerns axially moving flexible structures in problems involving distributed structure-to-solid contact. The distinguishing features of are presented terms prevalent studies regarding models with simplified support conditions. Subsequent sections focus on the particular difficulties treating contact classical structural theories, appropriate non-mat...

Simultaneous spatial and temporal focusing (SSTF), when combined with nonlinear microscopy, can improve the axial excitation confinement of wide-field and line-scanning imaging. Because two-photon excited fluorescence depends inversely on the pulse width of the excitation beam, SSTF decreases the background excitation of the sample outside of the focal volume by broadening the pulse width every...

The structural analysis of an infinite unsymmetric laminated composite Timoshenko beam over Pasternak viscoelastic foundation under moving load is studied. The beam is subjected to a travelling concentrated load. Closed form steady state solutions, based on the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) are developed. In this analysis, the effect of bend-twist coupling is also evaluated. Selec...
