Most aircraft are equipped with thermal systems that channel hot air from the engine across the wings to combat this problem, ...

Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by ...

In analysis, it is common practice to conceptualize structures, objects, and isolation systems as basic mass-spring-damper models, as depicted in Figure 42.1. All objects experience vibration when ...

Here we consider a harmonically-excited (point load on the top floor) four-DOF building model using modal uncoupling. From this procedure we are able to see that the response of the building is ...
