Three‐Dimensional Analytical Model of a Podium Structure With Rocking Columns of Square Cross Section

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allowing structural systems to uplift and rock during seismic excitation has emerged as an effective and inherently self‑centering form of seismic isolation. This paper develops a computationally efficient 3D analytical model suitable for the understanding of the behavior of rocking bridges.

Displacement Estimation of Structures With Flag‐Shaped Hysteresis Loops

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Time‐history analyses were conducted on single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) systems with flag‐shaped hysteresis loops using a far‐field ground motion suite to estimate peak displacements, Δp, and equivalent deformation cycles, Nc, associated with cumulative displacement demands.

Direction‐Aware Period Prediction for Seismic Risk Assessment and Application to an Urban Tall Building Portfolio in China

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable estimation of the principal periods is essential for regional seismic risk assessment (RSRA) of urban building portfolios. For tall buildings, however, existing period‐prediction formulas are constrained by the lack of representative data, while building translational azimuths are neglected despite their importance for regional ...

Convergence and Residual Error Analysis of Unsteady MHD Stagnation Flow Over a Cylindrical Surface With Streamline and Isotherm Visualization

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The novelty of the current study is that the unsteady MHD Cross nanofluid model is, for the first time, coupled with the melting heat transfer at the stagnation point over a horizontally extended cylinder in a Darcy–Forchheimer porous medium. This work connects complex rheological behaviors and phase‐change phenomena in a unique way, with the only ...
