Abstract:Many methods for evaluation of seismic resistance have been proposed. Energy balance equation is one of the methods. The main feature of the energy balance equation is that it explains accumulated information of motion. Therefore energy balance is suitable to investigate the influence of cumulative load. We have already conducted some studies that applied the energy balance equation to mechanical structures. In the studies, we confirmed a relationship between input energy and fatigue failure. On the other hand… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
