Salinity Transport in a Finite-Volume Sigma-Layer Three-Dimensional Model
… of sigma-gradients, spatial distribution of friction coefficients, wind stress and various boundary treatments. The results showed that the density-driven exchange of saltwater at the open boundary required a baroclinic boundary condition for salinity as well as a lateral filter at the …

Experimental investigation of energy dissipation behavior of the modified friction device
… structures. The recently proposed modified friction device (MFD) addresses many of the concerns that have prevented the building industry from fully embracing non-passive control: the device is based on the drum brake, a reliable technology that is inexpensive, already mass manufactured, …

Objective assessment of static and dynamic seats under vehicular vibrations
… the dynamic interactions of human body, variable friction properties and kinematics of the suspension linkages. The analytical model is validated using the results of laboratory tests performed with rigid load and human subjects under deterministic and random excitations
