...Guodong Li; Wenhan Liu; Guangzhi Feng Purpose Aiming at the characteristics of large stiffness, low ductility, and poor energy dissipation capacity of cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear wall, a method of opening vertical joints and adding low-yield dampers in CLT shear wall is proposed to improve...

...Mohamed I.A. Othman; Ahmed E. Abouelregal Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamic response for a thermoelastic infinite medium with a spherical cavity in the context of the theory of two-temperature thermoelasticity without energy dissipation. Design/methodology/approach...

... thermoelasticity theory with energy dissipation. In order to obtain the analytical expressions of the components of stress and strain fields, appropriate integral transform technique is adopted and the salient features are emphasized. Findings It has been observed that the existence of energy dissipation can...
