In recent years, the Tuned Mass Damper with inerter (TMDI) has received significant attention.The inerter is defined to exert a force that is in proportion to the relative acceleration of the two inerter terminals.Here, two TMDI topologies are investigated.The conventional topology is given by the inerter being in parallel to the spring and viscous
Purpose of the study.The aim of the study is to create neural network models of modules in an adaptive testing system to design an individual testing trajectory.The research article discusses the implementation of an adaptive testing system in terms of introducing artificial neural network modules into its composition, which should solve the proble
Since the launch of the Eastern Partnership and up to the latest Summit, in May 2015, notable progress has been registered within the framework in various areas, especially in issues related to climate change, environment and energy.Nevertheless, significant environmental problems still linger and require urgent tailor-made solutions.The paper seek
The combination of safety belts and rollover protective structures (ROPSs) is key in improving the safety of agricultural tractors in the event of rollover.However, we also have the opportunity to enhance the security provided by each ROPS; one such example is the combination of this safety device with adequate mechanical energy absorbers (MEAs).In
India is one of the leading economies that have been stuck hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and the stringent measures were put in place to combat it.Among several sectors, dairy sector is the most affected as dairy products are highly perishable and rely on time-sensitive supply chains.Though studies are available on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic o
