Local Resonances in Rail Structures (Oct 2024, MPC-24-571)
Zero-group velocity (ZGV) modes in rails are studied through simulation and experiments. Local resonances associated with ZGV modes appear as distinct, sharp peaks in the frequency amplitude spectrum, whose resonant frequencies can serve as indicators of the local structural integrity condition of the...
Seismic Rehabilitation of Skewed and Curved Bridges Using A New Generation of Buckling Restrained Braces (Dec 2016, MPC-16-315)
The objective of this project is to find effective configurations for using buckling restrained braces (BRBs) in both skewed and curved bridges for reducing the effects of strong earthquakes. Verification is performed by numerical simulation using analytical models of existing bridges when BRBs are implemented...
