The free vibrations of cantilever slender beams polymers, which are viscoelastic materials, theoretically described using the simple Euler–Bernoulli assumption. comparison between theory and experimental data collected for a thermoplastic elastomer, polyether block amide, shows very satisfactory results. Consequently, is used thoughtful analysis impact material parameters beam geometry on its v...

Ground vibrations generated by heavy trucks and buses are a common source of environmental problem. They can reach levels that may cause nuisance to residents, damage to near-by structures, and perturbation in the functioning of sensitive equipment. These vibrations are produced mainly when the vehicle wheel’s pass over a speed reducer such as a road hump or a speed cushion. This study aims to ...
