In this paper, analysis for the propagation of general anisotropic media of finite thickness with two thermal relaxation times is studied. Expression of displacements, temperature, thermal stresses, and thermal gradient for most general anisotropic thermoelastic plates of finite thickness are obtained in the analysis. The calculation is then carried forward for slightly more specialized case of...

Tall piers are essential components of the earthquake resisting system bridges. The dynamic behaviour tall differs significantly from that short due to a number factors, such as their high flexibility and inertia. This paper aims quantify influence axial loads higher order modes on seismic response bridges provide results useful for more informed design assessment. For this purpose, an analytic...
