As seismic design paradigms shift toward functional recovery, there is a need for efficient methods to achieve desired decision variables (DVs), such as probability of replacement, repair cost, and downtime of the building, for seismically isolated buildings.

ABSTRACT Flexibility is a crucial characteristic of industrial systems that face increasing volatilities and is therefore essential to ensure feasible operation under uncertainty. Flexibility is often closely tied to the design of a system, and careful consideration must be taken to understand the trade‐off between design cost and operational ...

Why Is the Peak Group Analysis So Effective for IR Spectra Analysis?
ABSTRACT Peak group analysis (PGA), an MCR algorithm, has proven to be very successful in extracting pure component spectra and concentration profiles from IR and Raman spectral data when investigating carbonylation reactions with transition metal catalysts.

Finite Element Modeling of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane Ball for Rolling Seismic Isolation
ABSTRACT The Elastomeric‐Ball Pendulum (EBP) system, which consists of an elastomeric ball rolling on a spherical concrete surface, has been proposed as an isolation system for lightweight structures. Experimental tests have shown that the mechanics of such a rolling ball are remarkably complicated because the vertical load changes the shape of the ...

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines
ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...

This paper presents a finite element method for simulating highly viscoelastic flows of pure polymer melts using the Elastic Viscous Stress Splitting formulation. The method avoids higher‐order derivatives in the weak formulation by reformulating the convective term in the constitutive equation.

GloMarGridding: A Python Toolkit for Flexible Spatial Interpolation in Climate Applications
Global surface climate datasets contain structural uncertainty that is difficult to attribute to individual processing steps. We present GloMarGridding, a Python package that isolates the spatial interpolation component using Gaussian Process Regression (or kriging) to generate spatially complete fields and uncertainty estimates. The techniques used in

DASNordicSLR—A Regional Dataset of Sea Level Projections for Northern Europe
Relative sea level projections for Northern Europe (DASNordicSLR) combine IPCC‐AR6 projections with vertical land motion data from NKG2016LU. The resulting high‐resolution dataset enables a realistic representation of regional sea level change along coastlines, supporting climate services and coastal risk assessments with spatially detailed insights ...

Hierarchical Testing of a Hybrid Machine Learning‐Physics Global Atmosphere Model
Abstract Machine learning (ML)‐based models have demonstrated high skill and computational efficiency, often outperforming conventional physics‐based models in weather and subseasonal predictions. While prior studies have assessed their fidelity in capturing synoptic‐scale atmospheric dynamics, their performance across timescales and under out‐of ...
