Why did no one tell of the equivalent stories of the life of African Americans in the rural South?
"I have never heard of an equivalent story elsewhere; in any academic circle, that would have been considered an unethical event," said Zachary O'Hagan, a Ph.D. student in linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley who has done research with Amadeo in Peru.
Ottolenghi nodded, and told an equivalent story of Las Vegas royalty.
Equivalent story stiffness was evaluated from the measured inter-story load-displacement hysteretic curves and a lumped mass model was established to determine the dynamic properties of the pagoda during strong excitations.
Its analysis, in the linear phase, is very simple and can be found in many past papers (e.g. Georgoussis 2009, 2010), but the main point is that when center of stiffness of the equivalent single story system (m-CR) lies on (or within a close distance from) the mass axis, the torsional response of the real building is mitigated.
The region's simmering religiosity infects even the names allotted to the tale's main adversaries, Cross and Candlestick, and in the interstices of the furious plot another story of equivalent atrocity is haltingly unfolded; vectors of betrayal and assassination reaching from the Shankill Road to Downing Street.
This is a direct procedure, since the effective element frequencies of walls and frames are given by simple formulae and therefore the location of the stiffness center (m-CR) of the equivalent single story system is easily assessed.
Therefore the later quantities may be seen as the relative stiffnesses of the elements which provide the lateral resistance of the equivalent single story system.
The stiffness centre of the equivalent single story system constitutes the modal centre of rigidity (m-CR) and when this point lies on (or close to) the axis passing through the centers of floor masses, the rotational response sustained by an elastic asymmetric building system is minimum (Georgoussis 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015).
This methodology is based on Southwell's formula and the concept of the equivalent single story system.
