CLOSED-FORM SOLUTIONS FOR THE OPTIMAL PARAMETERS OF THREE INERTER-ENHANCED DAMPERS (IEDS) EQUIPPED ON A GROUND ACCELERATION-EXCITED STRUCTURE

Closed-form solutions for the optimal parameters of three inerter-enhanced dampers (IEDs) equipped on a ground acceleration-excited structure

Abstract Replacing the viscous damper of tuned mass damper (TMD) with the proposed inerter-enhanced dampers (IEDs), novel vibration mitigation methods, namely the IED-TMDs, are proposed.Unlike the TMD, which brings only one additional freedom into the system, the proposed IED-TMDs introduce more freedoms into the considered dynamic COLOUR BATH PINK

In Vitro Probiotic Properties and DNA Protection Activity of Yeast and Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from A Honey-Based Kefir Beverage

The probiotic characteristics of three acid-tolerant microbial strains, viz., Lactobacillus satsumensis LPBF1, Leuconostoc mesenteroides LPBF2 and Saccharomyes cerevisiae LPBF3, isolated from a honey-based kefir functional beverage, were studied following the requirements established by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation/Wor
