Isolation and transmissibility of shipboard equipment with carbon fiber reinforced polymer mount
The isolation and transmissibility of shipboard equipment is important to the function of a ship. The transmission of vibration from an engine to its surroundings can be devastating to sensitive equipment and disrupt normal operations. Isolator pads can be used to dampen transmissions from …

Mitigation of blast effects on existing structures in austere environments
… buildings that offer protected areas for sensitive equipment. One solution to this problem is simply to build a structure that can be used for this purpose. This method can prove to be difficult in that it could either require large amounts of prefabricated concrete, heavy earthmoving …

Securing distributed energy resource integration
… damage to inverters or DER themselves and other sensitive equipment. We tie these outcomes to specific attacker actions in an effort to give operators a better threat intelligence view that allows them to prioritize mitigations. Finally, we discuss mitigations that could prevent many of the …

Frequency estimation of pre-stressed and composite floors
… There may also be some problems with the most sensitive equipment. These uncomfortable vibrations are a serviceability limit state problem and can only be avoided by ensuring a high floor fundamental natural frequency and damping. There is a need, therefore, for a method to accurately predict …
