Different Effects of Induced Plant Defense on Population Densities of Specialist and Generalist Insects: An Explanation by Mathematical Modeling. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Induced defense chemicals in plants determine the community structure of different insect (herbivore) groups. In particular, specialists are endemic and generalists are non‐endemic in the wild because of the ecological roles of induced secondary metabolites.

Critical Steady-State Response of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Bilinear Hysteretic System under Multi Impulse as Substitute of Long-Duration Ground Motion

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2017
A set of multiple impulses is introduced as a substitute of many-cycle harmonic waves which represent the long-duration earthquake ground motion. A closed-form expression is derived of the elastic–plastic response of a single-degree-of-freedom structure ...

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Rotational Behavior of Straight Mortise-Tenon Joints Considering Local Compression Perpendicular to Grain

Buildings, 2023
This paper comprehensively investigates the moment-rotation relationship of straight mortise-tenon joints commonly used in Chinese antique timber buildings, focusing on analyzing the local compression mechanism at the tenon end-mortise and the tenon neck-

Nonlinear Dynamics of a Vibratory Cone Crusher with Hysteretic Force and Clearances

Shock and Vibration, 2011
Based on the analysis on crushing process and hysteresis of material layers, a hysteretic model with symmetrical clearances is presented. The mechanical model of two-degree of freedom with bilinear hysteresis and its dynamical equations of system are ...

Collapse-Limit Input Level of Critical Double Impulse for Damped Bilinear Hysteretic SDOF System With Negative Post-yield Stiffness

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019
The collapse-limit input velocity level of the critical double impulse simulating the principal part of near-fault ground motions is derived for an elastic-plastic structure with viscous damping and P-delta effect.

Critical Response of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Damped Bilinear Hysteretic System under Double Impulse As Substitute for Near-Fault Ground Motion

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2018
A double impulse input is used as a substitute for near-fault earthquake ground motions. An explicit expression is derived on the maximum elastic–plastic response of a single-degree-of-freedom damped structure with bilinear hysteresis under the “critical

Behaviour Investigation of SMA-Equipped Bar Hysteretic Dampers Using Machine Learning Techniques

Applied Sciences, 2021
Most isolators have numerous displacements due to their low stiffness and damping properties. Accordingly, the supplementary damping systems have vital roles in damping enhancement and lower the isolation system displacement. Nevertheless, in many cases,

Computational modeling of yielding octagonal connection for concentrically braced frames [PDF]

Инженерно-строительный журнал, 2020
Ductility is a feature which allows a structure to undergo large plastic deformations without any strength loss. Yield dampers are energy dissipation devices which increase the ductility and control the vibration of structures by absorbing earthquake ...

Helical single-walled carbon nanotubes under mechanical and electrostatic loading

Carbon Trends, 2022
Here, we characterize the axial response of helical single-walled carbon nanotubes (HSWCNTs) to mechanical and electrostatic loads, separately. The study considers low-pitch (closed) and high-pitch (open) HSWCNTs of different number of turns in their ...
