Special dynamic soilstructure analysis procedures demonstrated for two tower-like structures

Approximate Dynamic Analysis of Structures for Earthquake Loading Using FWT

Approximate dynamic analysis of structures is achieved by fast wavelet transform (FWT). The loads are considered as time history earthquake loads. To reduce the computational work, FWT is used by which the number of points in the earthquake record are reduced. For this purpose, the theory of wavelets together with filter banks are used. The low and high pass filters are used for the decompositi...

variation theorems for dynamic analysis of 2d structures

in this paper, the rayleigh's quotient and the inverse vector iteration method are presented. the latter approach helps to obtain the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a structure. inverse vector iteration method with shifting enables to determine the higher modes. some basic theorems of linear algebra are presented and extended to study the free vibration of structures. the variation...

A Simple Finite Element Procedure for Free Vibration and Buckling Analysis of Cracked Beam-Like Structures

In this study, a novel and very simple finite element procedure is presented for free vibration and buckling analysis of slim beam-like structures damaged by edge cracks. A cracked region of a beam is modeled using a very short element with reduced second moment of area (I). For computing reduced I in a cracked region, the elementary theory of bending of beams and local flexibility approach are...

Video Analysis for Cartoon-like Special Effects

In recent years the Vision community has shown interest in processing images and video for use by the entertainment industries. Typical applications include 3D reconstruction of models, and rendering graphics models into video. This paper broadly aligns with that trend, but differs in that we process video to emphasise motion in Cartoon-like styles, in which moving objects deform in defiance of...
