The engineering community generally accepts that there exists only a small set of closed-
form solutions for simple cases of bars, beams, columns, and plates. Despite the advances …

Taipei 101 (officially known as the Taipei Financial Center) with 101 stories and 508 m
height, located in Taipei where earthquakes and strong typhoons are common occurrences …

In this paper, variational iteration method (VIM) is applied to the problem of determination of
critical buckling loads for Euler columns with constant and variable cross-sections. VIM is a …

Using the concept of lumped masses and rigid floor slabs, several mathematical models
were built using a popular PC‐based finite element program to model a tall building with a …

In this paper, analysis of elastic stability for continuously restrained Euler columns is
conducted by means of variational iteration method (VIM). A uniform homogeneous column …

The periodic flexural-gravity waves propagating along a frozen channel are investigated.
The channel has a rectangular cross section. The fluid in the channel is inviscid …

An increase in the height of tall buildings generally results in lower natural frequencies,
which may increase their sensitivity to wind-induced effects, especially in the acrosswind …

This selective review (with emphasis on the word “selective”) gives only a taste of extensive
research that has been conducted since 1759 when Leonhard Euler posed, apparently for …

An exact approach for free longitudinal vibrations of one-step non-uniform rods with
classical and non-classical boundary conditions is presented. In this paper, the expression …

A novel model for assessing building behavior has been developed by coupling a Bernoulli
beam with a quartic stiffness variation and a shear beam with a parabolic stiffness variation …
