Scaling laws and similitude methods constitute a fundamental framework in structural dynamics, enabling the accurate prediction of full-scale behaviour from reduced-scale models. By establishing ...

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 ...

Computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a method for generating highly realistic computer-generated images of fluid dynamics in elements such as smoke. This ...
