Increasing the population, urbanization has led to the rapid construction of buildings. Due to space constraints and an increase in land cost, these buildings are built too close to each other and can cause damage under dynamic actions such as earthquakes. A new technique, known as Structural coupling, has been developed recently, has found very effective in dissipating the dispersive vibration...

in this paper, effects of the structural parameters on the optical characteristics of an add-drop filter, consisting of two straight waveguides and a micro-ring resonator (mrr), have been investigated. in this research, effects of mrr radius, the width of mrr and waveguide and the gap between mrr and waveguide, on free spectral range (fsr) and coupling coefficient have been studied. it is found...

the oxidative coupling of methane (ocm) over m-na-mn/sio2 catalysts (m=w, cr, nb and v) was investigated using a continuous-flow quartz reactor at 775°c, 1 atm and 100 cm3min-1 gas flow rates, and correlated with the observed structure and redox properties.the interaction effects of the metal-metal and metal-support on the methane conversion and c2+ yield were investigated using x-ray diffracti...

The present research is concerned with the determination of ductility, over-strength and response modification factors of coupled steel shear wall frames. Three structural models with various numbers of stories, bay width and coupling beam height were analyzed using static pushover and incremental nonlinear dynamic analyses. The ductility, over-strength and response modification factors for the...

A computer program, CASPER, for structural analysis of oligoand polysaccharides has been developed. Simple chemical analyses and NMR data (1H and/or 1 3 C NMR chemical shifts and l J C , H and 3 J H , H coupling constants) are used for determination of the structure.
