this paper examines differences in performances of a range of torsionally stiff and flexible single story buildings designed with the provisions of iranian standard 2800. seismic nonlinear dynamic time history behavior of eight building models subjected to seven horizontal bi-directional design spectra compatible ground motions are investigated. these models cover a wide range of very torsional...

additional dampers are employed in order to decrease the dynamic response of structure against the earthquake and wind loading recently. in this study, two types of systems related to waste of inactive energy, i.e. frictional damper which is categorized in dampers dependent on movement and viscoelastic damper which is categorized in dampers dependent on velocity, in making steel structures resi...

Voltage sag is one of the most significant power quality problems in industry and has a impact on induction motor safety stability. This paper analyzes characteristics voltage dips systems motors with special emphasis balanced help virtual grids (regenerative grid simulator), as per IEC 61000-4-11. Three phase 3.3 kW, 16 A coupled to DC generator 3.7 7.8 rated are considered for test analysis. ...

this paper presents a novel formulation and numerical solutions for adhesively bonded composite joints with non-linear (softening) adhesive behaviour. the presented approach has the capability of choosing arbitrary loadings and boundary conditions. in this model adherends are orthotropic laminates that obey classical lamination theory. the stacking sequences can be either symmetric or asymmetri...
