Wind-induced vibrations commonly represent the leading criterion in the design of long-span bridges.The aerodynamic forces in bridge aerodynamics are mainly based on the quasi-steady and linear unsteady theory.This paper aims to investigate different formulations of self-excited and buffeting forces in the time domain by comparing the dynamic respo
In Chapters 93 to 98 of the Sententious Notes (1320s), Theodore Metochites put forward an idea that the basic social and political agents in the society, i.e.emperor, aristocracy, and the people, belonged to different natures.Such a consideration, which was also uttered in passing by Shakespeare in Hamlet (1599–1601), meant theologically a transp
A comprehensive mathematical model of electroslag remelting with two series-connected electrodes (TSCE-ESR) was constructed based on sequential coupling method.The influence of droplet effect on electroslag remelting process (ESR) was considered in this model.Compared with one-electrode electroslag remelting (OE-ESR), the multi-physics field, dropl
Mixing productive economic activities with housing is a hot topic in academic and policy discourses on the redevelopment of large cities today.Mixed-use is proposed to reduce adverse effects of modernist planning such as single-use zoning, traffic congestion, and loss of quality in public space.Moreover, productive city discourses plead for the re-
