Abstract

Structural pounding during earthquakes has been recently investigated extensively by using different models of impact force. In this paper, reexamination of the Hertz contact model with nonlinear damping is made. Based on this reexamination, the formula used to determine the damping constant in terms of the spring stiffness, the coefficient of restitution and relative approaching velocity of two colliding bodies is found to be incorrect for pounding simulation in structural engineering. In order to correct this problem, a more accurate approximating formula for the damping constant is theoretically derived. The correctness of the derived analytical formula has been confirmed through numerical simulations. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This paper is concerned with the propagation speed of positive travelling waves for a Lotka᎐Volterra competition model with diffusion. We show that under a certain boundary condition, the propagation speed of the travelling wave is equal to 0. To do this, we employ the method of moving planes propos

A nonlinear truncated model, concerning thermodiffusive chaos in gaseous media, has been employed to represent evaporation of a solid body on the basis of nonlinearity at the solid/gas interface. Solid/gas consumption has been described in the cell which is characterized by the wavenumber of the int
