... with modal analysis for hydro-elastic calculation. Both the loading and deflection of the blade were studied. The dynamic loading on the blade due to structural deformation was much smaller than the wave-induced loading under linear wave conditions for the given condition. The linear response amplitude...

... at a specific vertical pier location. Modal analysis is used in this study, in which the response of each mode is superposed to find the complete modal response of the entire length of a pier subject to incremental ice loading. This incremental ice loading includes ice fracture points as well as loss of contact...

... and earthquake motion. For the response calculation, the modal analysis technique is used with a special algorithm to obtain natural frequencies of the water-structure coupled system. For the stochastic description of the earthquake loading, the modified Kanai–Tajimi earthquake spectrum is used. Finally...

In this paper, a new method is introduced to include local joint stiffness in the parametric equations represented by a generic characteristic of the joint determined by modal analysis. The parametric equations produced in this paper can be applied to any reinforced T-joint regardless...
