this study contains the identification of modal dynamic properties of a 3-story large-scale steel test frame structure through shaking table measurements. shaking table test is carried out to estimate the modal properties of the test frame such as natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes. among many different model structures, arx (auto recursive exogenous) model structure is used fo...

abstracttask-based language teaching is considered an effective way to achieve a harmony between grammar and communication. the present study investigates two different ways of teaching modal verbs: task-based versus traditional approaches. to this purpose, an oxford placement test was administered to select 40 homogeneous participants out of a larger population who took this test. the selected...

Modal verbs in English are challenging to learn by speakers of other languages. The purpose of thiswas to shed light on the use of gesture in learning English modal verbs by Persian-speaking children.To achieve this, 60 elementary Iranian learners, studying at some institutes in Karaj took part in thisstudy. The participants were randomly put into one experimental group and one control group. T...

Today, modeling is critical for cognition and analysis of designers in industry field to meet their needs and design based on design requirements and available facilities to accelerate production and development of components of industrial engines. In this study, one structure has been proposed, designed, and analyzed based on turboshaft marine engine type to test this kind of engine in order t...

Multi-modal test execution allows execution of the same test against various layers and components of a software system. This paper presents a method that effectively encodes one-to-many test definition and test execution relationship of multi-modal functional tests without creating large test maintenance overhead. Our approach extends the Fit table specification structure by multi-modal fixtur...

Multi-modal test execution allows execution of the same test against various layers of a software system, e.g. the GUI layer, the web service layer and the business logic layer. Multi-modal test execution helps with identifying the location of software bugs during debugging and maintenance as well as in tracking the progress of the development effort. This paper presents a method that effective...

In this research, the modal parameters of a beam in free-free condition are extracted by performing different experiments in laboratory. For this purpose, two different techniques are employed. The first methodology is considered as a time domain method in Operational Modal Analysis. While the other one is frequency domain impact hammer test which is categorized as an Experimental Modal Analysi...
