A Simple Method to Design and Analyze Dynamic Vibration Absorber of Pipeline Structure Using Dimensional Analysis by Mehrdad Shemshadi, Mahdi Karimi, Farzad Veysi

“…A beam-based dynamic vibration absorber (beam DVA) is a device comprising an L-shaped beam with a concentrated mass at its free end that can be used to absorb and dissipate vibrations in the pipeline. In this paper, a mathematical equation is extracted to design the beam DVA using the dimensional analysis (DA) method and data recorded from 120 experimental tests. …”

Coupling Ratio-Based Design and Seismic Performance of Modular Prefabricated Hybrid Coupled Walls by Yun Shi, Yumin Zhang, Jianbo Dai, Guangyuan Weng

“…However, it also exhibits excellent ductility of the coupling beams, which is necessary for dissipating energy under infrequent earthquakes. Subsequently, nonlinear hysteretic analyses are conducted from finite element analysis software ABAQUS, and a parametric study based on the finite element technique is performed to identify the optimal value of the coupling ratio. …”

Analytical and Numerical Study of the Ground Pressure of the Work Face Crossing the Fault by Yanan Gao, Yudong Zhang, Donghao Lan, Feng Gao

“…It can therefore be concluded that, for the forward direction fault, the effect of the searching tunnel to decrease the contact pressure and dissipate the energy is limited; on the contrary, it will aggravate the fragmentation degree and make the support more difficult, while, for the reverse direction fault, the excavation of searching tunnel can not only provide a better understanding of the characters of the fault but also have a positive effect on the ground control.…”
