A Real-Valued Description of Quantum Mechanics with Schrodinger's 4th-order Matter-Wave Equation
Nicos Makris, Gary F. Dargush
Using a variational formulation, we show that Schrodinger's 4th-order, real-valued matter-wave equation which involves the spatial derivatives of the potential V(r), produces the p…

Seismic Response of Yielding Structures Coupled to Rocking Walls with Supplemental Damping
Mehrdad Aghagholizadeh, Nicos Makris
Given that the coupling of a framing structure to a strong, rocking wall enforces a first-mode response, this paper investigates the dynamic response of a yielding single-degree-of…
