... as initial condition during modal analysis. Further, it is found that the damping has a substantial effect on frequency for higher modes of vibrations. Research limitations/implications The study only focused on modal analysis of the gravity dam, and this study’s results can be used further to evaluate...

... element approach adopted in this paper involves six degrees of freedom for each node. Furthermore, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no prior study has done seven separate parametric investigations on the modal analysis of rigid pavement resting on two-parameter soil. For the purpose of conducting...

... the ith PZT. Now, if we consider the beam element illustrated in Figure 2 with the resultant shear forces and moment acting as shown, and neglecting rotary inertia of the element, the condition of moment equilibrium gives: Modal analysis Finite element method (FEM) Piezoelectric (PZT) actuator...
