Magneto‐X Effects in Magnetic Soft Materials and Their Applications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review systematically explores magnetic soft materials (MSMs), a novel class of composites that transform under magnetic fields. It catalogs fundamental “Magneto‐X” effects, classifies materials by their matrix and magnetic fillers, and highlights transformative applications in soft robotics, biomedical devices, flexible electronics, etc. Finally,

Evaluation of Advanced Nonlinear Static Procedure [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2015 Having very simplicity, nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) are the most popular tools for estimation of structural capacity. These approaches construct a graphic display of the overall structural response via a pushover curve. The overall response of the

Soil, competition, and niche shifts shape the floral mosaic of an annual plant diversity hotspot
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Plant species with affinity for harsh substrates often have well‐defined edaphic (soil) niches and are ideal for exploring questions of community assembly. Vertic clay soils are chemically and physically challenging to plant establishment and productivity, and annual plant communities associated with these soils of the San Joaquin ...

Seismic Evaluation of Buildings using Adaptive Force-Based Multimode Pushover Analysis
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 Abstract The conventional pushover method has 2 major drawbacks, it cannot account for the higher mode effect and do not consider the change in lateral load pattern when the structure reaches its inelastic phase. To overcome those limitations, in this research will present the Adaptive Force-Based Multimode Pushover Analysis (AFMP ...

Cutting Through the Green: A Case for Grassland Archaeology Using UAV Multispectral Data
Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Advances in low‐altitude remote sensing are needed to improve the effectiveness of archaeological prospection in the Netherlands. The geomorphological situation and land use history make applying various remote sensing and geophysical technologies particularly challenging.

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...
