the study of the dynamic behavior of a rigid body with one fixed point (gyroscope) has a long history. a number of famous mathematicians and mechanical engineers have devoted enormous time and effort to clarify the role of dynamic effects on its movement (behavior) – stable, periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic. the main objectives of this review are: 1) to outline the characteristic features of...

in this article a new and an accurate method for kinematic and dynamic analysis of a parallel robot 3prs and a hybrid robot (parallel and serial) 3prs-rrp are presented, which is based on the denavit-hartenberg transformation matrix algebra. first, basic properties of various kinds of robots are compared, and then the denavit-hartenberg parameters and their table are introduced. next, the metho...

time-history analysis is defined as a kind of dynamic analysis increasingly used in design of structures and evaluation of existing ones. one of the important issues in the time-history analysis is selecting earthquake records. in this case, seismic design provisions states that time histories shall have similar source mechanisms, geological and seismological features with region under study. a...

this study aims to develop seismic fragility curves for a typical pile-supported wharf. fragility curve is one of the popular tools in seismic performance evaluation of a structure. the software flac2d was used to simulate the seismic performance of the wharf structure. using eight time history records, occurred in past, as seismic loading, incremental dynamic analysis (ida) was applied for sei...

recently, two of the authors have introduced the collapse capacity spectrummethodology, which allows the assessment of the collapse capacity of highly inelastic p-deltasensitive regular frame structures without performing non-linear time-history analyses. the mainingredient of this method is the collapse capacity spectrum, which represents the seismic collapsecapacity of an inelastic non-deteri...

In this paper, we study the classical sensitivity analysis when the right - hand – side vector, and the coefficients of the objective function are allowed to vary. 

Recent advances in the design of high dynamic range (HDR) monitors enable the display of images having a large dynamic range, close to that encountered in the real world. As their usage will increase, we will be confronted with the problem of rerendering images that have been mapped to standard dynamic range (SDR) displays so that they look natural on HDR monitors. We address this issue for SDR...

In this paper, we study the concept of generalized differentiability for fuzzy-valued functions on time scales. Usingthe derivative of the product of two functions, we provide solutions to first order linear fuzzy dynamic equations. Wepresent some examples to illustrate our results.

Linear dynamic response of simply supported nanobeams subjected to a variable axial force is assessed by Galerkin numerical approach. Constitutive behavior is described by three functional forms of elastic energy densities enclosing nonlocal and strain gradient effects and their combination. Linear stationary dynamics of nanobeams is modulated by an axial force which controls the global stiffne...
