Twisted Wire Strands Under Coupled Bending and Torsion
ABSTRACT Slender composite structures occur in automotive applications in different variations and on different size scales. They range from single conductors, which are composite structures themselves, to wiring harnesses, where another level of complexity is added by bundling several cables.

ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete pier walls designed before the 1970s often incorporate lap splice in potential plastic‐hinge regions. Previous experimental tests indicate that most of pier walls experienced post‐yield lap splice failure, necessitating a modeling approach that captures not only lap splice strength but also deformation capacity.

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.

Hexagonal core-shell structure nanowire with high spins of spin-3/2 and spin-5/2
The magnetic properties and hysteresis loops for the hexagonal Ising nanowire (HIN) with a core-shell structure consisting of mixed spins with the core spin being spin-5/2 and the shell spins being spin-3/2 are studied.

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 ...

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 ...

A Memristive-System-Based Hysteresis Model for a Compact Pneumatic Artificial Muscle
Pneumatic artificial muscles exhibit pronounced hysteresis in the force-contraction domain, which complicates accurate force modeling under pressure-dependent operation.
