...Anand Mandi; Santimoy Kundu; Prakash Chandra Pal Design/methodology/approach The present discussed problem deals with the torsional surface wave scattering in an initially stressed inhomogeneous medium. The assumed model consists of tri-mediums resting over a viscoelastic semi-infinite medium...

...Min Zhang; Huaying Pang Purpose The purpose of this paper is to equip damping performance of frame structure with viscoelastic dampers connected to supports is studied, the influence of the damper supports and the damping parameters on the damping performance of the structure is analyzed...

...Hossein Sepiani; Maria Anna Polak; Alexander Penlidis Purpose The purpose of this study is to present a finite element (FE) implementation of phenomenological three-dimensional viscoelastic and viscoplastic constitutive models for long term behaviour prediction of polymers. Design/methodology...
