Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

A bilinear form associated to contact sub-conformal manifolds

open access: yes, 2007
We define a bilinear form associated to a sub-Riemannian contact manifold. It transforms by scalar multiples under sub-conformal transformations and with further hypothesis it is naturally defined on certain torus bundles over the contact ...

Full‐scale Shaking Table Tests on a 10‐story Steel Moment‐resisting Frame Building with Buckling‐restrained Braces

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In February 2023, a comprehensive series of shaking table tests were conducted at the E‐Defense facility, the world's largest three‐dimensional earthquake simulator, on a full‐scale 10‐story steel moment‐resisting frame supplemented with BRBs.

Lump Solutions to a (2+1)-Dimensional Fifth-Order KdV-Like Equation

open access: yesAdvances in Mathematical Physics, 2018
A (2+1)-dimensional fifth-order KdV-like equation is introduced through a generalized bilinear equation with the prime number p=5. The new equation possesses the same bilinear form as the standard (2+1)-dimensional fifth-order KdV equation.

Comparison of Seismic Performance Assessment Using Observed or Simulated Ground Motions in Seismic Hazard Analysis and Ground Motion Selection

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper illustrates opportunities for the use of simulated ground motions in seismic performance assessment – from seismic hazard, ground‐motion selection, response history analysis, and seismic demand hazard calculation. The illustration is through a comparative analysis with the conventional alternative of observed ground motions.

The general bilinear techniques for studying the propagation of mixed-type periodic and lump-type solutions in a homogenous-dispersive medium

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2020
This paper aims to construct new mixed-type periodic and lump-type solutions via dependent variable transformation and Hirota’s bilinear form (general bilinear techniques).

On Einstein bilinear form

open access: yes, 2012
From physical motivations and from geometrical interpretations of the Einstein equations, we give a justi cation of the non-triviality and non-degeneracy of Einstein bilinear form introduced in [1]

State maps from integration by parts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We develop a new approach to the construction of state vectors for linear time-invariant systems described by higher-order differential equations. The basic observation is that the concatenation of two solutions of higher-order differential equations ...

Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...

Decomposition of bilinear forms as sums of bounded forms [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Operator Theory, 2016
The problem of decomposition of bilinear forms which satisfy a certain condition has been studied by many authors by example in \cite{H08}: Let $H$ and $K$ be Hilbert spaces and let $A,C \in B(H),B,D\in B(K)$. Assume that $u:H\times Karrow \C$ a bilinear form satisfies \[ |u(x,y)|\leq\|Ax\|\ \|By\|+\|Cx\|\|Dy\| \] for all $ x\in H$ and $y\in K$. Then u
