Rooted in structural dynamics theory, two approximate procedures for estimating peak responses of linearly elastic “ordinary” bridges crossing fault-rupture zones are presented: response spectrum analysis �RSA� procedure and a linear static analysis procedure. These procedures estimate the peak response by superposing peak values of quasi-static and dynamic responses. The peak quasi-static resp...

West Bandung District is one of the government areas that grow rapidly in Java. Here several infrastructures such as Highspeed Rail Development, Modern Residences, Tourist Attractions Area, and International Retail Company supply major contributions to economic development. Rapid construction Basin caused pay attention risk factors, especially building structures. One natural hazards must be co...

This paper deals with the stability problem for a class of linear neutral delaydifferential systems. The time delay is assumed constant and known. Delaydependent criteria are derived. The criteria are given in the form of linear matrix inequalities which are easy to use when checking the stability of the systems considered. Numerical examples indicate significant improvements over some existing...

It is shown that the FIR filter based discrimination of damped sinusoids can be improved by removing the linear phase constraint. The resulting filter is not only economical and better suited to processing of shorter data records, but also offers superior numerical conditioning and therefore reduced error and sensitivity to perturbations. Zusammenfassung Gezeigt wird, da13 die auf FIR-Filtern b...
