Shake Table Test of Scaled Masonry Structure Using Rubber Tire Crumbs Mortar

Liquefaction Triggering Criterion Using Shake Table Test

Earthquake induced liquefaction in saturated granular soils is an important phenomenon causing severe damages. In order to minimize the ill-effects due to liquefaction, various lab tests, field tests are being used which assess the liquefaction potential. In the present study the shake table test has been used for assessing soil liquefaction of loose saturated cohesionless sand by simulating ea...

Shake Table Study of Soil-Structure Interaction Effects on Seismic Response of Adjacent Buildings

The objective of this study is to design a robust direct model reference adaptive controller (DMRAC) for a nonlinear cardiovascular model over a range of plant parameters representing a variety of physical conditions. The direct adaptive controllers used in thisd study require the plant to be almost strictly positive real (ASPR) that is, for a plant to be controlled there must exist a feedback ...

Rubber friction and tire dynamics.

We propose a simple rubber friction law, which can be used, for example, in models of tire (and vehicle) dynamics. The friction law is tested by comparing numerical results to the full rubber friction theory (Persson 2006 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 18 7789). Good agreement is found between the two theories. We describe a two-dimensional (2D) tire model which combines the rubber friction model wi...
