Microseismic Assessment of Deformation-Related Elastic Parameters in Structurally Different Dam Types: Evidence From Rockfill and Reinforced-Concrete Dams in Uzbekistan

This study utilizes microseismic H/V spectral ratio analysis to assess deformation-related elastic parameters in rockfill and reinforced-concrete dams in Uzbekistan, demonstrating that these non-invasive methods effectively identify stress-deformation zones influenced by structural type, hydrostatic loading, and material heterogeneity for improved monitoring in seismically active regions.

Transverse Nonlinear Vibration of a Vertical Cantilever Considering Its Self-weight and Vibration Reduction via Nonlinear Energy Sink

This paper develops a transverse nonlinear vibration model for a vertical cantilever that accounts for self-weight and demonstrates that a nonlinear energy sink significantly reduces forced vibrations, with numerical results showing that self-weight has a limited effect on the system's natural frequencies and mode shapes.
