Abstract The masonry bridges on the Kalka Shimla Mountain Railway line, which have multiple arch galleries in form of Roman aqueducts, are spectacular. line is situated severe seismic zones (Indian Standard 1893:2016). This research assesses vulnerability Bridge No. 541 line. bridge tallest route. In particular, it using finite element (FE) analysis. For this purpose, an FE model for developed ...

Compressing real-time input through bandwidth constrained connections has been studied within robotics, wireless sensor networks, and image processing. When there are bandwidth constraints on realtime input the amount of information to be transferred will always be greater than the amount that can be transferred per unit of time. We propose a system that utilizes a local diffusion process and a...

the paper investigates into the vibrational characteristics of the truck chassis including the natural frequencies and mode shapes. truck chassis forms the structural backbone of a commercial vehicle. when the truck travels along the road, the truck chassis is excited by dynamic forces caused by the road roughness, engine, transmission and more. modal analysis using finite element method (fem) ...

in this paper, optimum location of power system stabilizers in order to damp inter-area oscillations has been investigated by using modal series method. nonlinear effects grow in dynamical behaviors of heavily loaded stressed power systems significantly. hence linear based methods and techniques no longer present clear and exact response of the systems. in this article by defining new nonlinear...

the occurrence of chatter vibrations in boring operation has a great influence in improving workpiece dimensional accuracy, surface quality and production efficiency. in this paper instability analysis of machining process is presented by dynamic model of boring machine. this model, which consists of machine tool’s structure, is provided by finite element method and ansys software. the model is...

Heritage structures are an important part of the history each community as well economic resource. This study aims to investigate earthquake damage and failure mechanism a historic Bazaar located in Kashan (center Iran), which dates back eighteenth century. Numerical models were built by macro method, considering two cases fixed support soil–structure interaction (SSI). To assess structural beh...

The proposal lateral load pattern for pushover analysis is given in two forms for symmetric concrete buildings: 1-(X/H)0.5 for low-rise and mid-rise buildings, 2- Sin(ΠX/H) for high-rise buildings. These two forms give more realistic results as compared to conventional load patterns such as triangular and uniform load patterns. The assumed buildings of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 30 story concrete bui...
