This paper presents an improved crack model incorporating non-linearity of flexural damage in concrete to reproduce changes in vibration properties of cracked reinforced concrete beams. A reinforced concrete beam model with multiple-distributed flexu... Read More about Modelling the degradation of vibration characteristics of reinforced concrete beams due to flexural damage.

Experimental identification of the lateral human–structure interaction mechanism and assessment of the inverted-pendulum biomechanical model (2014)
Journal Article
Carroll, S. P., Owen, J. S., & Hussein, M. F. (2014). Experimental identification of the lateral human–structure interaction mechanism and assessment of the inverted-pendulum biomechanical model. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 333(22), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2014.06.022

Within the context of crowd-induced lateral bridge vibration, human–structure interaction (HSI) is a widely studied phenomenon. Central to this study is the self-excited component of the ground reaction force (GRF). This force harmonic, induced by a...

The computational fluid dynamics modelling of the autorotation of square, flat plates (2014)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, D., Kakimpa, B., & Owen, J. S. (2014). The computational fluid dynamics modelling of the autorotation of square, flat plates. Journal of Fluids and Structures, 46, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfluidstructs.2013.12.006

This paper examines the use of a coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) – Rigid Body Dynamics (RBD) model to study the fixed-axis autorotation of a square flat plate. The calibration of the model against existing wind tunnel data is described. Du... Read More about The computational fluid dynamics modelling of the autorotation of square, flat plates.

Vibration of a beam on continuous elastic foundation with nonhomogeneous stiffness and damping under a harmonically excited mass (2014)
Journal Article
Koroma, S. G., Hussein, M. F., & Owen, J. S. (2014). Vibration of a beam on continuous elastic foundation with nonhomogeneous stiffness and damping under a harmonically excited mass. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 333(9), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2014.01.001

In this paper, a method of analysis of a beam that is continuously supported on a linear nonhomogeneous elastic foundation and subjected to a harmonically excited mass is presented. The solution is obtained by decomposing the nonhomogeneous foundatio...

Application of 2D URANS in fluid structure interaction problems of rectangular cylinders (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nieto, F., Hargreaves, D., Owen, J., & Hernández, S. (2014, July). Application of 2D URANS in fluid structure interaction problems of rectangular cylinders. Presented at AFM2014, A Coruña, Spain

© 2014 WIT Press. In this work the authors have studied the applicability of the 2D URANS approach adopting a block structured mesh and Menter’s SST k-omega turbulence model for the aspect ratio 4 rectangular cylinder. As a first step, a verification... Read More about Application of 2D URANS in fluid structure interaction problems of rectangular cylinders.
