Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 48, No. 310 (MAY 1997), pp. 1125-1132 (8 pages) Recent theoretical work has suggested that tree natural frequency is an important indication of tree stability in ...

We have learned that an effective way to passively control vibration is through the usage of a “vibration absorber”. A typical vibration absorber is a single-DOF spring/mass/dashpot system that is ...

Researchers have developed miniature magnetic robots that mimic fish behavior, working together as coordinated swarms to ...

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 ...

Sound is the transfer of energy in the form of waves through a substance, or medium, such as air, water, or a flexible solid. You can picture sound waves as a series of nudges that cause particles in ...
