Lightning Damage to Landscape Palms by Stephen H. Brown, Douglas Caldwell, Ralph Mitchell

“…Given so many strikes, the probability of damage to certain palms is significant. Coconut palms, royal palms, and Washington palms are particularly vulnerable due to their great heights, but other tall palms may be equally susceptible. …”

Model Updating for Systems with General Proportional Damping Using Complex FRFs by Xinhai Wu, Huan He, Yang Liu, Guoping Chen

“…In this paper, we propose a model updating method for systems with nonviscous proportional damping. In comparison to the traditional viscous damping model, the introduction of nonviscous damping will not only reduce the vibration of the system but also change the resonance frequencies. …”

Oscillation Criteria of Second-Order Dynamic Equations with Damping on Time Scales by Yang-Cong Qiu, Qi-Ru Wang

“…Using functions in some function classes and a generalized Riccati technique, we establish Kamenev-type oscillation criteria for second-order dynamic equations with damping on time scales of the form (r(t)(xΔ(t))γ)Δ+p(t)(xΔ(t)γ)+f(t,x(g(t)))=0. …”

Spatial decay estimates for a class of nonlinear damped hyperbolic equations by F. Tahamtani, K. Mosaleheh, K. Seddighi

“…This paper is concerned with investigating the spatial decay estimates for a class of nonlinear damped hyperbolic equations. In addition, we compare the solutions of two-dimensional wave equations with different damped coefficients and establish an explicit inequality which displays continuous dependence on this coefficient.…”

Semi-Active Damping of Vibrations. Prestress Accumulation-Release Strategy Development by A. Mroz, A. Orlowska, J. Holnicki-Szulc

“…The strain energy is converted into kinetic energy of higher modes of vibration which is suppressed with structural damping or by means of a damping device. The adaptation process essentially affects the first mode vibrations by introducing an elastic force that opposes the movement. …”
