The study of viscoelastic damping in structural dynamics is a critical field that addresses the mechanisms by which materials dissipate energy under dynamic loads. Viscoelastic materials exhibit a ...

Structural dynamics is the study of how structures respond to time‐varying loads and forces, capturing the interplay between inertia, stiffness, and energy dissipation. This field underpins the design ...

The Department of Structural Dynamics and System Identification focusses on the dynamics and vibrations of structures in aeronautics, space vehicles and wind energy. Through numerical analyses and ...

For 55 years, TNO has been investigating the effect of shock and vibration loading on naval vessels and on-board equipment. In the event of a non-contact underwater explosion (UNDEX), our research ...

In the relentless drive to build more cost-efficient, less resource-intensive structures, their operating envelopes are expanding resulting in larger deflections and geometric nonlinearities being ...

The proposed intelligent analysis method bridges high-fidelity modeling and computational efficiency. It uses an iterative algorithm to identify optimal mode shapes ...

The Structural Science Society (ACA) today announced the appointment of Mark Wilson, Professor and Associate Department Head ...

One concept to reduce an aircraft's fuel consumption is to increase wing aspect ratio, i.e. the ratio of wing span to wing chord. Although slender (i. e. high aspect ratio) wings have low induced drag ...

The origins of modern structural biology date back to the 1910s, when the German physicist Max von Laue discovered that biological crystal samples irradiated with X-rays produced diffraction patterns ...
