Formulae are derived for the computation of the response of periodically supported structures subject to a moving or stationary harmonic load. They are expressed in terms of an integral over the wavenumber in the longitudinal direction. The structures may be described using either a multiple-beam model, or more generally, a two-and-half-dimensional finite-element model. The supports, described ...

Utilizing capacitor banks is very conventional in distribution network in order for local compensation of reactive power. This will be more important considering uncertainties including wind generation and loads uncertainty. Harmonics and non-linear loads are other challenges in power system which complicates the capacitor placement problem. Thus, uncertainty and network harmonics have been con...

recently, a large amount of studies have been related to nonlinear systems with multi-degrees of freedom as well as continuous systems. the purpose of this paper is to optimize passive vibration absorbers in linear and nonlinear states for an euler-bernoulli beam with a nonlinear vibratory behavior under concentrated moving load. the goal parameter in the optimization is maximum deflection of t...

the dynamic response of the railway under accelerated moving load using dynamic green function is presented in this paper. for this purpose, an exact and direct modeling technique is introduced for the railway modeling as the damped euler-bernoulli beam on the partial winkler foundation with arbitrary boundary conditions subjected to the moving load. the effects of the elastic coefficient of wi...

The concept of floating submerged tunnels becomes increasingly attractive idea to cross the straits. The structural solution in these bridges includes buoyancy force on tunnel body plus tension in mooring tethers. This paper investigates the effect of submergence on the dynamic response of submerged floating tunnels due to moving load. The inertial effect of the fluid on the submerged structure...

the graphical technique for nonlinear circuits was described that enable us to optimize circuits to obtain maximum output power, maximum efficiency or minimum intermodulation. according to this method a high power amplifier in the ka band was designed. using a nonlinear model of the transistor, optimum slope for load-line was determined so that maximum power at the output was obtainable, then ...
