A new mortar formulation for modeling elastomer bedded structures with modal-analysis in 3D

It is a well-known fact that cross-laminated timber structures are sensitive to rumbling noises. These transmissions are best captured by a fully three-dimensional mathematical model. Since the discretization ...
