Out-of-plane seismic response of stone masonry walls: experimental and analytical study of real piers [PDF]

, 2012
This paper presents the application of an existing simplified displacement-based procedure to the characterization of the nonlinear force-displacement relationship for the out-of-plane behaviour of unreinforced traditional masonry walls.

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Deflection of a Viscoelastic Cantilever under a Uniform Surface Stress: Applications to Static-mode Microcantilever Sensors Undergoing Adsorption [PDF]

, 2009
The equation governing the curvature of a viscoelastic microcantilever beam loaded with a uniform surface stress is derived. The present model is applicable to static-mode microcantilever sensors made with a rigid polymer, such as SU-8.

Direct evidence of strong local ferroelectric ordering in a thermoelectric semiconductor

, 2014
It is thought that the proposed new family of multi-functional materials namely the ferroelectric thermoelectrics may exhibit enhanced functionalities due to the coupling of the thermoelectric parameters with ferroelectric polarization in solids ...

Mesoporous Carbon Thin Films with Large Mesopores as Model Material for Electrochemical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 18, 2 March 2026.
Mesoporous carbon thin films possessing 70 nm mesopores are prepared on titanium substrates by soft templating of resol resins with a self‐synthesized poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(hexyl acrylate) block copolymer. A strategy to avoid corrosion of the metal substrate is presented, and the films are extensively characterized in terms of morphology ...

Analysis of Dual-beam Asymmetrical Torsional Bi-Material Cantilever for Temperature Sensing Applications

, 2012
An extremely sensitive temperature measurement MEMS device is developed based on the principle of structural deflection in a bi-material cantilever caused by a difference in thermal expansion coefficients. A dual-beam asymmetrical geometry is used to produce a torsional response from the device.

Strategies for increasing the operating frequency range of vibration energy harvesters: a review

, 2010
This paper reviews possible strategies to increase the operational frequency range of vibration-based micro-generators. Most vibration-based micro-generators are spring-mass-damper systems which generate maximum power when the resonant frequency of the ...

Temperature‐Dependent Properties of Amino‐As Based InAs/ZnSe Core‐Shell Quantum Dot Films

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 10, 13 March 2026.
InAs colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) exhibit tunable optical bandgap covering the near‐infrared spectrum, making them attractive for various optoelectronicapplications. This work demonstrates that their optical properties are partially maintained up to 250°C, where Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) measurements reveal
