(2009)
This field study involves a bottom-up assessment of the quality of leadership, communication, and organizational citizenship in a military hospital, as reported by employees that are directly involved with operations that ...
Dynamic behavior of bridge structures under moving loads and masses using differential quadrature method
(2009)
The current study is focused on the dynamic behavior of an idealized highway bridge structure subjected to moving heavy vehicular loads using simplified representative models such as Euler beams and Kirchhoff plates. The ...
